One of the most storied camps in the Mara region, Cottar's, owned by a legendary safari family, induces a misty-eyed sense of longing from those lucky enough to have visited. As the name suggests, the enormous, stunning tents are dressed up like a well-to-do 1920s gentleman's lodging, with all manner of colonial and safari memorabilia.
But there's more to Cottar's than just elegant style. There's some of the best food of any camp, a beautiful pool and a host of activities for children. Get the guides or hosts talking about the camp and family history and you'll spend one of your most memorable evenings out on safari. Guides here are among the best in Kenya.
