If excellence in guiding and service are at the top of your list of what you are looking for in a safari experience, then you need to spend a few days at Cottars 1920’s Safari Camp.  Cottar safaris began in 1919 and Calvin and Louise Cottar faithfully continue the tradition of providing an unparalleled safari experience. 

Located in a 22,000 acre exclusive pristine concession, bordering both the Serengeti and the Lolionda Reserve, this camp just outside the Masai Mara is true to the original spirit and essence of ‘safari’.  Simply put, this is the real thing.  Everything is first class here from the professional yet warm, unobtrusive butler service to the excellent food we enjoyed throughout our stay.

Walk with Calvin or one of his highly trained team members for a memorable, up close encounter with wildlife.  Day and night game drives are offered as is river swimming and fishing.  After a long day in the bush relax with a massage, manicure, or pedicure.

Incorporating original safari antiques from the 1920’s, each spacious luxury tent is assigned a personal butler and consists of an en-suite dressing room, bathroom, bedroom and a private verandah.
