African Retro Camp Romance

Nothing says romance like soaking in a relaxing vintage bathtub under a starlit African sky, with the sounds of the wild as your only soundtrack. As a family-run safari camp since 1919, Cottar’s 1920s Camp is steeped in stories of adventure and love, offering an authentic, soulful retreat.

The award-winning Cottar's 1920s Camp is situated in the 7608-acre private Olderkesi Conservancy bordering the famous 'seventh' natural wonder of the world.

The camp has eleven cream-canvas tents in a 1920s style. There are five luxury double tents, four family-sized tents with an open-play layout, and two tents for honeymooners. The entire camp is situated to ensure that tents are private and quiet whether for honeymooners or families with young children.

The camp has two main mess tent areas 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 tent’s verandah, with views out over the plains. The location of the camp provides easy access for day and night wildlife drives in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Olderkesi Conservancy, wildlife walks, and cultural interactions with the Maasai community.
