3 Days Maasai Mara Game Reserve - Cottars 1920's Camp from Kenya Coast
Tour Code: TAS 68

At a glance

Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp is cloaked in Olderkesi Conservancy in Kenya- a place of incredible natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and innovative conservation thinking. This project works because it creates a much needed haven for wildlife while empowering the local Maasai community. This is a piece of land adjacent to the southeast corner of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, just north of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The Maasai Mara is considered one of the great wonders of the world, but the government-managed parkland is only part of the ecosystem: the beauty and wildlife are also spread out into the multiple conservancies ringing the park. In fact, at last count, there was more wildlife located within the conservancies than within the park itself.
