Why we recommend Cottars 1920s Safari Camp

Step back in time to 1920s Kenya and the ultimate Out of Africa experience at Cottars 1920 Safari Camp; a throwback to an era of luxury and quality in the original spirit of a ‘safari in the famous Maasai Mara. It’s the styling here that makes a stay here so unique and memorable. Huge cream canvas tents ensure a supremely comfortable stay, complete with original safari antiques collected over the decades: sepia-coloured photos adorning the walls, brass lanterns hanging from the ceiling and wind-up gramophone.
