From 1 August forward, all children coming to Cottar’s 1920’s Camp will be invited to join in a Maasai Warrior session which includes fun-learning on how to make fire, spear throwing, bow and arrow practice, and other culturally interesting activities. The Maasai Warrior experience is led by their Maasai team with Kinyaika – one of the oldest trackers in the business and is a fantastic way for children to spend an afternoon. A certificate is given at the end of the experience and for those skilled enough to hit certain targets, a wooden bow and (non lethal) arrow is provided as a prize!

Cottar’s Camp

Calvin and Louise Cottar established Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp in the mid-nineties. The camp is situated in a timelessly unspoiled setting with sunset views stretching to distant horizons of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti plains covered in boundless game.

The Camp has its own 6,000 acre private conservancy and is situated one kilometre from the Masai Mara game reserve. The location provides easy access for day and night game drives to the Masai Mara game reserve and the conservancy, game walks, and cultural interactions with the Masai community.

The camp has 10 tents in total (one unique honeymoon tent, five double tents and four family suites), all with en suite bathrooms. The family tents have living rooms with fireplaces. The entire camp is situated to ensure that tents are private and quiet whether for honeymooners or families with young children.

The camp has two main mess tent areas for fine dining, drinking, reading and relaxing. An exciting new addition is an amazing pool and spa area where guests can relax after a game drive. Guests can also enjoy a safari bath or safari shower, specifically set up in the savannah should they wish for a genuinely unique way of bathing!
