Activities at Cottars 1920's Safari Camp Masai Mara

Guest activities include Game Drives guided by Calvin Cottar or guides of equal professional standard in either state of the art modern four wheel drive cars, in Cottars authentic and old wooden car or in oxen pulled wagon.

* Alternative to a wildlife watching - a tented Reading Room with an extensive array of Africana, modern books and magazines or Cottar's natural rock swimming pool with surrounding hammocks are available.

* Because Cottars 1920 Mara Safari Camp is located outside the game parks, Guided Walking and Night Drives are also highly permitted and recommended. By walking, guests can get much closer to nature, and if an opportunity to track wild game presents itself, Cottar's trained trackers will take guests even closer.

* On a more self-indulgent note, Cottars masseuse is based full-time at the camp for complimentary Massages, Manicures and Pedicures. Butlers who have been trained to provide guests with discreet, yet attentive service will meet any other needs that guests may have.
