An untouched, exclusive concession bordering the Serenget and the vast Masai Mara

Cottar’s 1920’s Safari Camp & Cottar’s Private House are situated in an untouched exclusive 27,000-acre concession area in Olderikesi which borders the Serengeti, Mara and LoBiondo reserves. The luxurious camp and the pristine area guarantee privacy and an abundance of wildlife.

With both resident and transient populations of lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, giraffe, elephant as well as over 450 bird species, the vast fertile plains are dense with game. In addition, the area has been classified among the “Seven wonders of the world” due to the extraordinary annual migration from July to November when over 1.3 million wildebeest and zebras cross the Serengeti to the Mara in search of greener pastures.

In the far south eastern part of the Maasai Mara, Cottar’s is the first to see the great wildebeest migration coming in and are therefore the last to see the herds heading back south into the Serengeti.
