Cottar's 1920s Camp

At Cottar’s spa, skilled therapists use their magic hands and the healing wisdom of Africa’s plant life to bring your body, mind and spirit into balance. Every product used in the spa is carefully selected for its purity and purpose.

They proudly use Cinnabar Green, an eco-conscious Kenyan brand rooted in sustainability, showcasing their belief in leaving the world better than it’s found.

Each treatment is bespoke – you’ll choose the natural, organic ingredients yourself, ensuring a sensory experience tailored just for you.

Feel the desert sun melt away with the Aftersun Soother – a remedy of fresh, hand-cut Aloe Ferox from the surrounding hills, followed by a nourishing layer of shea butter.

You can also rejuvenate your skin with the African Body Scrub, a rich mix of coconut oil, natural salts and Sudanese shea butter, followed by a refreshing shower and a gentle massage.

Don’t miss the traditional canvas bush baths – a timeless ritual where you can soak amidst the stillness of the wilderness, with distant animal calls as your soundtrack. The stress of everyday life melts away here, replaced by a rare sense of clarity and calm.

But the true essence of wellness at Cottar’s extends far beyond the spa. It’s in the unhurried rhythm of safari life, the open skies of the Maasai Mara and the excitement of witnessing nature as it has been for centuries.

Out here, your senses sharpen. You’ll slow down and breathe deeper. You’ll notice the beauty in small things like a whispering breeze, a golden horizon and the laughter of the Maasai.

This is where you remember what it means to feel alive because this is Africa and this experience will truly transform you.

Imagine the look in your child’s eyes as they spot their very first lion or the laughter shared as stories unfold around a glowing campfire with a Maasai warrior.

At Cottar’s, your family safari is a life-enriching journey designed to bring every generation closer to nature and to each other.

They specialise in safe, exhilarating and deeply authentic experiences for families of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s your child’s first adventure, a grandparent’s dream come true or a chance to reconnect with loved ones, their all-inclusive approach ensures you’re free to be fully present in every moment.

Every last detail, from logistics to payments to personalised itineraries, is taken care of by their warm, experienced team who’ve hosted countless families just like yours.

Stay in their enchanting 1920s Camp, where three spacious family tents offer comfort and closeness. Each tent includes an open-plan lounge, a fireplace, private bathrooms and just enough privacy to keep the little ones near while giving everyone space to breathe.

Their Private Bush Villa is ideal for those who want a permanent home-style setting and it comes with its own kitchen, lounge, TV room, swimming pool and full exclusivity.

Here, you’ll have a private guide, private vehicle and all the freedom to create your own rhythm.

From game drives and bush picnics to hands-on cultural exchanges and quiet wildlife observation, they tailor every moment to suit your family’s pace and passions.

It’s adventure for the curious, education for young minds and restoration for busy souls, all rolled into one fun and inspiring safari.

This is the kind of trip that inspires stories your children will one day tell their children. A rare chance to disconnect from screens and schedules and reconnect with the earth – and with each other.
