ABOUT COTTARS 1920's SAFARI CAMP :

COTTARS 1920's SAFARI CAMP

Located in the South East of the world re-knowned Maasai Mara and bordering the Serengeti and Loliondo reserves, the camp is within a 22,000 acre exclusive concession. This 1920’s camp experience returns to the original spirit and essence of “safari”, reminiscent of a golden bygone era, an era of romance, adventure and elegance. Here one will experience the ultimate in personalised service and guiding.

The camp has eight tents (16 beds) each with a canopied verandah and situated to ensure privacy. Each tent is luxuriously furnished with safari antiques from the 1920’s, private ensuite dressing rooms / bathrooms with safari style tubs, showers and flush loos.

The camp is equipped with a tented library / reading room and the cuisine and service is of the highest standard to be found in the bush. Each group (even if there is just one person) has their own dedicated professional safari guide and vehicle. As the camp is situated in one of the prime wildlife locations in Africa the game and diversity of the landscape is excellent. Massage and aromatherapy facilities are available at the camp.

PRESS SAY..

 

What the Press have said

Lucia Van Der Post in the London Financial Times : “..for those who find themselves hooked on Africa, there comes a time when they want something different, something lonelier and wilder...Not every guide can take you there. Some do not have the taste for it and some do not have the know-how, but Calvin Cottar and his 1920’s safaris come with the kind of pedigree and promise that is hard to resist”

Tim Beddow in Vogue (UK) “Although there are a few luxury safari outfits, this is easily the most atmospheric. It harks back to the era of hunters such as Denys Finch-Hatton, when safaris were undertaken in grand style.’

John Frederick Walker in Bloomburg magazine: “Over the years, Cottar’s has guided royalty, sports figures, assorted tycoons, and scores of more down-to-earth type on safaris completely tailored to meet their needs and desires. This ecologically correct adventure re-creates all the glamour and style of a classic safari.”

Alexander de Cadenet in The Tatler Cunard Travel Guide: “Nobody knows the bush better or can guide you more safely. Not only were we able to see places of astonishing beauty to which more regular safari outfits never go, but Calvin was able to educate us by sharing his unprecedented knowledge of animal behaviour.”
