Cottar’s 1920s Camp

Facilities

The 10 spacious canvas tents are furnished with four-poster beds, fine linen, feather duvets, and claw foot baths. At night, the camp takes on an even more evocative feel with hurricane lanterns dotted all around. Dinner, like everything else in camp, is a lavish affair – fine-dining by candlelight and always silver service, maintaining a family tradition that has lasted for over 80 years.

The nearby private house is an even more decadent affair, suitable for family gatherings. Booked on an exclusive basis, it comes complete with its own 25-metre pool. The five en-suite bedrooms all offer spectacular views of the savannah and there is a dedicated staff of eight to look after you.

Activities

Cottar’s offers a range of a similar range of activities to many safari camps in the region, but it is renowned for the quality of its guiding. It currently employs three gold-standard guides – the most of any camp in Kenya. Activities include:

• Day and night game drives
• Guided bush walks
• Cultural visits to local Maasai village
• Massage and spa treatments
  
• Running with a Maasai warrior
• Canvas bush bath
