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, this multi-award winning property undoubtably offers an unsurpassed authentic luxury safari in Kenya.
Cottar’s 1920s Camp is one of only eleven Global Ecosphere Retreats in the world. A charming camp, providing the ultimate authentic luxury tented safari, with modern amenities, yet is romantically styled in the bygone era of the twenties, where evenings are warmed under cream canvas tents with lighting from Kenya’s 1920s “lunatic” train line, working gramophones and original photography portraying the history of safari in Africa.
Managed by the fifth-generation Cottar family, with over 100 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.
There are five luxury double tents in total; Swala, Duma, and the new/replacement Ddovu, Kudu and Athi tents. The new tents are approximately 40% larger than our older luxury double tents. The interiors include bathrooms with wallpaper (yes wallpaper in a tent); wooden flooring throughout, bespoke furniture, which has a nod to the 1920’s era, yet is modern and accessible. The tents also have space for a lovely seating/living area which includes a dining table and chairs, a writing desk and a daybed or couch and marvelous high views from the hill, looking out onto the savannah.
These luxury suites consist of 2 en-suite bedrooms with a shared sitting / dining room and include private ensuite dressing room and bathroom, main bedroom with veranda and a living room with a fireplace. Please note that they are open-plan.
