Cottar’s 1920s Camp Masai Mara – Vintage Safari Camp with Game Drives

The 90s were great years, but if you want to travel further back in time, the place to be is Cottar’s 1920s Camp.

Here, the Black Bottom dance is performed in the elegant cream canvas tents of the twenties, and you can enjoy dancing the foxtrot near the campfire with friends and family in the family tents.

The sound of romance is always in the air, welcoming newlyweds to candlelit honeymoon suites. These suites have an open-plan design, spacious living rooms, and a white bathtub set on the veranda, filled with red rose petals and towels placed neatly beside it.

Relaxation is easy to find here, with active spa and massage areas ready to serve adventurers after a traditional canvas bath—highly recommended to help you feel the spirit of Africa.

You can also shower outside on the veranda while looking out over the green plains, reminding you of your contribution to nature. The camp supports many efforts, including restoring the natural environment, protecting biological diversity, anti-poaching programs, research and rehabilitation projects, providing healthcare, and supporting local preschools. All of these efforts help make the world a better place.

The camp sits on 7,608 acres of the Olderkesi Conservancy, right next to the famous Masai Mara and Serengeti game reserves, both well-known for their rich wildlife.

Cottar’s 1920s Camp has been around for more than 100 years, with a long history of wilderness, comfort, and security. It blends modern comfort with local culture, offering top-quality service to its guests.

Activities include afternoon picnics with a tour guide, where tourists can set out fruits and drinks on a wooden table. While enjoying your meal, you might see curious horses wandering nearby, as the wind softly rustles the leaves of the trees surrounding Cottar’s 1920s Camp.

You can also take a hot air balloon ride while sipping a cold soda, watching the Big Five—known as kings of the wild—as they hunt herbivores. But it’s no easy task to bring down giants like elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos, and even the fiercest hunters can walk away wounded when facing these animals.

If you want to tell a true story about life in the 1920s, visiting Cottar’s Camp is a must.

Explore the Annual Great Wildebeest Migration Occurence in Africa

This annual wildebeest migration is the largest animal migration on earth. The actual reasons why this occurs is wildebeest searching for greener vegetation and water on the other side of the land after when there is drought on the one they are on. When the season is over, they return to the previous side and find vegetation there. They keep taking the same route year in, year out and the predators keep waiting at their exact spots. Discover the great wildebeest migration below.
