TWO TRANSFORMATIVE PROPERTIES IN THE MAASAI MARA AREA
Today, the Cottar’s reputation for unforgettable safaris is undiminished. Vast numbers of wild animals still roam across the East African landscape; the Masai Mara and the Serengeti are home to the largest concentrations of terrestrial game on the planet, with migrations that number over 2½ million individual animals.
The hotel also offers a beautiful outdoor pool, 24-hour gym and rejuvenating spa where traditional Asian techniques are married with contemporary western practices. The restaurant, C’est La Vie, takes a home-style cooking approach with dishes inspired by both Vietnamese and French cuisine. Head to the tea lounge for a taste of the traditional tea culture of Vietnam.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
