Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp & Maasai Mara

Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp is situated in an exclusive concession of the Maasai Mara along the border with the Serengeti National Park and Loliondo Reserve. This game-rich region is home to a huge diversity of species, as well as serving as a setting for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration as huge herds of wildebeest, zebras and opportunistic predators travel north in search of fresh grazing pastures. After making the precarious crossing over the crocodile-infested Mara River, they disperse across the plains of the Maasai Mara to refuel before making the return journey south. 

NOT SURE WHERE TO VISIT IN AFRICA?

If you visit outside of the migration months, you’ll still be treated to exceptional wildlife sightings, with large numbers of giraffes, elephants, Thomson’s gazelle and hippos calling the Maasai Mara “home”. It also boasts one of the highest concentrations of lions in Africa, as well as thrilling encounters with leopards and cheetahs. The proximity of Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp to Nairobi makes it easily accessible by road, as well as being served by scheduled and charter flights to the Cottar’s and Keekorok Airstrips. 

With its vintage style and renowned hospitality, Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp is the perfect base for exploring the Maasai Mara region. Spend your days game driving or bush walking with their knowledgeable guides or immerse yourself in the local culture during a Maasai village visit. The camp boasts a sparkling swimming pool where you can relax during the heat of the day, not to mention a communal mess for mingling with other travellers over gourmet dining experiences.
