The camp benefits from fantastic views as it sits on a hilltop with views stretching for dozens of miles across rolling hills and expansive open acacia dotted plains. A stay at Cottars camp will enable you to view the world’s biggest animal migration between July and September as one and a half million wildebeest and zebra pass through the Mara in search of fresh grasses and water.
Cottars is owned and run by Calvin and Louise Cottar who have been operating safaris in the Masai Mara for many years and who know their private conservancy and the entire Masai Mara Reserve intimately. The camp is very traditional with huge white canvas tents, with proper beds, comfortable furniture and en suite w.c and shower, and from the chairs at the front of your tent you can enjoy the fine views across the plains. The camp is run with a good sense of style and the standard of food and service is excellent. Because it is set on a large private reserve you and your family can enjoy walking with an armed guide, tracking animals through the bush and game viewing by vehicle during the day and at night. You can also venture further afield into other parts of the Mara to follow the huge migrating herds and seeing countless predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, elephant and buffalo in the company of Calvin and his other highly expert guides.
More so than any other camp in East Africa, Cottars manages to combine simplicity with a real sense of relaxed style and inspired guiding, cuisine and attention to detail, all of which goes to create an unforgettable family safari.
At Cottar’s depending on the number and ages in your family you can either saty in the twin bedded tented suites or in Cottar’s spacious family “tent” which has two bedrooms and a living area.
