For a heavenly private vacation in Masai Mara National Reserve, AfricanMecca recommends the upscale luxury of Cottars Bush Villa, formerly branded as "Cottars Private Homestead". The elegance and sophistication of this private house are unmatched. Design elements include natural wood and stone floors, pitched wood roof, neo Afro-colonial furnishings, neutral color palette with touches of earthy tones and much, much more.

The ambience of the bedrooms and bathrooms soothe your soul and rejuvenate your spirit and body after a long day of intense African safari activities in the conservancy and reserve. The tasteful appointments include free-standing bathtubs, vessel sinks, natural light from large windows, wardrobes, East African artwork, just to name some of the ways that the homestead appeals to the most discerning guest.



The 10,000-square foot private home is bookable only on an exclusive basis, thereby enhancing the experience of staying on the private Olderkesi Conservancy bordering the Mara. The immense floor plan includes a spacious living room, dining area, 5 en-suite bedrooms and incredible viewing deck.

All rooms offer the seemingly endless breathtaking and enchanting views that you desire during your wilderness travel in Kenya. You have a minimum eight dedicated staff to your every wish in a personable, discrete and professional manner, including waiter, chef and kitchen assistant, housekeeper, guide and wildlife tracker and security guards.



Safari holidaying guests who stay at Cottars House have complimentary internet access in the house, satellite television with DVD player, electric and solar power, a private access road to the homestead, private 25-meter lap pool and many other amenities. You also may utilize the facilities at Cottars 1920s Camp, including the dining tents, swimming pool and curio shop if you prefer.

Imagine your delight when you are awakened with freshly brewed coffee and tea accompanied by light breakfast items, all in the comfort of your bed. You look across the vast landscape to watch the sunlight bathe the savannah in warm, golden light, and you sense the increased activity of wildlife.



After freshening up, you meet with your private guide and tracker to share your ideal wildlife experiences for your morning tour of Masai Mara Game Reserve. You, your friends and family climb aboard your exclusive safari vehicle and chat a bit while the driver takes you to the finest vantage points.

Masai Mara Reserve is known for being a prime location of the Great Serengeti Migration from July to October, but the reserve is also home to an astounding population of resident terrestrial, aquatic and avian fauna. Additionally, the reserve boasts one of the highest success rates for seeing the Big 5.



When you return to your boutique house, your private chef has prepared a divine wholesome breakfast, after which you return to your bedroom for a nap, light reading or refreshing shower. Gather with others in the living room to discuss the morning’s adventure and plan the rest of your day. A delectable lunch satisfies your appetite and a swim in the lap pool invigorates your energy. Before afternoon tea, relax with a massage, siesta or an interesting book.

In the late afternoon, a second game drive gives you an extended look at the ecosystem and wildlife. You can also opt for a full day game drive with a picnic or bush lunch in the public reserve. Gather once again with friends and family for sundowners and dinner before turning in or adventuring out for a night game drive if you prefer. AfricanMecca recommends that you enhance your adventure Kenya trip at Cottars Bush Villa with guided bush walks, river fishing, Maasai village tours, optional balloon safaris and other activities that are available to its guests.
