Cottar’s 1920 Safari Camp

Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp in Kenya provides the romance of safari under cream canvas tents in a style of the bygone era of the twenties.

Vintage Luxury
At Its Best

Cottar’s 1920 Safari Camp holds an ideal location in the 3000-hectare private Olderkesi Conservancy and borders both the Maasai Mara in Kenya and Tanzania’s’ Serengeti Game Reserve. Owned and managed by the oldest established and continuing safari family in Africa, it extends an era of luxury and quality and returns to the original spirit and essence of a safari. The Cottar family have been providing safaris for more than 100 years and focuses on an authentic and individualised safari experience whilst supporting an ongoing legacy of wilderness, wildlife and conservation. 

Owned and managed by the longest-established safari family in Africa, the award-winning Cottar’s 1920s Camp, private Bush Villa and Conservation Camp are located in the famous ‘seventh’ natural wonder of the world, the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The location of the camp provides easy access for day and night wildlife drives in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Olderkesi Conservancy, wildlife walks, and cultural interactions with the Maasai community.
