Cottar’s Safaris, Masai Mara

Established in 1919, Cottar’s soon gathered a name for offering superlative safaris that took well-heeled adventurers into the wilds of East Africa on the track of big game. 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.

So specify Cottar’s Safari Camp or Bush Villa when planning your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Kenya and you’re likely to see endless stretches of wildebeest, prides of lion, great herds of zebra, elephants and buffalo, giraffe and rhino. In fact, all of the ‘big five’ as well as leopard, hunting dogs, hyenas….
