Step back in time with us at our award-winning, conservation-led, authentic and luxurious tented camp. One of only eleven designated Global Ecosphere Retreats in the world, chosen for our work toward global sustainability and community support.
Our charming 1920s Camp provides the romance of safari under cream canvas tents, the style of the bygone era of the twenties, while supplying the amenities required by today’s modern travellers. The camp has eleven spacious, ensuite tents - two unique honeymoon tents, five luxury double tents and four family suites (each two bedrooms ensuite with flexi bed arrangemens).
The entire camp is situated to ensure that tents are private and quiet, whether for honeymooners or families with young children. The camp has a main mess tent and a pool pavilion; for fine dining, drinking, reading and relaxing, and an amazing pool and spa where guests can relax after a game drive. Guests can also enjoy a traditional canvas safari bath, a genuinely unique way of bathing specifically set up on the tents verandah, with views out over the plains.
The private location of the camp provides easy access for day and night wildlife drives, wild walks, and a significant array of our renowned impact activities.
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.

Cottar's newly renovated Family Tents are positioned with higher outward views on expansive wooden decks. The two bedroom units are each ensuite and separated by solid walls with a living room and outside deck in-between, which maximizes privacy. 2 of the family tents will have flexi beds, allowing for either 2 double rooms, 4 singles or the conventional 1 double and 2 singles. The Family Tents have new decor, a contained stove in the living room to keep guests cosy on a cold evening, and a table for private dining.
