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.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
