Cottar's 1920s Camp

6 star6 star6 star6 star6 star6 star

Valuing conservation and community above all else, the Cottar's 1920s Camp provides purposeful experiences benefiting guests, biodiversity, and their local Maasai community.

Located in the private Olderkesi Conservancy, a wildlife-rich conservancy leased from the Maasai community, on the border of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Tanzani's Serengeti. This multi-award-winning property undoubtedly offers an unsurpassed authentic luxury safari in Kenya.

Cottar’s 1920s Camp is one of only 12 Global Ecosphere Retreats in the world. A charming camp, providing the ultimate authentic tented safari, with modern amenities, yet is romantically styled in the vintage luxury style of te twenties. Newly-refurbished, cream canvas tents with period decor and original photography portraying the history of safari in Africa.

Managed by the fifth-generation Cottar family, with over 105 years in Africa, it embodies the perfect East African safari. Their team excels at everything they do, and provides the highest standard of professionally guided wildlife and wilderness adventures.
