Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp

Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp : Good meal, very attentive service, and a charming decor from a bygone period. Cottar’s 1920s Camp has been characterized by visitors as the kind of site you’ll want to return to and recommend to your friends. Situated slightly north of Tanzania’s border, the camp is situated within the Olderkesi Conservancy.

There is a plethora of animals in the area, but seclusion and privacy are assured.
Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp has just nine gorgeous, roomy cream-colored marquee tents, and it offers small-scale luxury. There are three family suites, two exquisite honeymoon suites, and four double tents. Every tent features a private bathroom. The living rooms of the family suite tents have fireplaces. To provide each guest’s privacy during their visit, each tent is normally separated from the others. The luxuriously appointed tents feature dressing rooms, four-poster beds, antiques, oriental rugs, porcelain, crystal, and outside verandahs with breathtaking views of the Olderkesi Hills and savannah.

There are two elegant, roomy main mess area tents at the camp, which are used for dining, drinking, and having fun. Visitors can congregate here to savor delectable food, indulge in some of their favorite libations and cocktails, and unwind in plush chairs with a nice book. Cottar’s serves only locally sourced food, a large portion of which are harvested from the camp’s organic kitchen garden. The gorgeous 25-meter pool is there for those times when you could use a cool dip. In addition, the camp has a spa for the ultimate in unwinding following a strenuous and thrilling safari day. The camp offers safari baths or showers in the savannah for those who want a unique take on bathing.

Activities in the 1920s Safari Camp in Cottar
Compared to other safari resorts, Cottar’s Camp takes a slightly different approach to safari activities. At most lodges, seeing the Big Five on a safari has become a very standard experience. According to Cottar’s, most safaris lack a feeling of engagement and that visitors yearn for a sense of purpose during their trip. As a result, they have dedicated the last year to developing a variety of safari experiences that benefit Cottar’s, the local Maasai community, and safari tourists alike. The following distinctive and interesting safari activities are now available to visitors at Cottar’s in addition to the more traditional ones. There can be an extra charge for some activities:
