‘Out of Africa’ Safari in Kenya

Wake up and enjoy a refreshing breakfast overlooking the Ngong Hills, before meeting your driver who will transfer you to Wilson Airport. From here, you will board a light aircraft flight to Cottar’s 1920s Camp – a historic camp dating back more than a century. The award-winning luxury camp is located in a private conservancy just one kilometer from the world famous Maasai Mara and boasts the vintage style of the bygone era, while providing you with modern facilities. During your stay, you can enjoy nods to the authentic safari experience. We’ve lined up a unique canvas bush bath set up in the savannah with champagne and an extra special sunset experience in a vintage wooden-panelled safari vehicle. You can also enjoy the services of a private butler with silver service, fantastic stargazing, educational talks, conservation experiences, coffee tasting and foraging. Dining is an opulent affair with three course dinners or romantic tables set up in the bush.

After breakfast, a guide will transfer you to the luxurious Angama Mara – the site where many of the ‘Out of Africa’ movie scenes were filmed. The lodge is located high above the floor of the Great Rift Valley and boasts jaw-dropping views of the Maasai Mara. The property consists of 15 spacious tented suites with floor-to-ceiling glass windows to make the most of the dramatic views. Here you can relax on the iconic red chairs with a copy of ‘Out of Africa’ in your hands. We have lined up a private picnic experience which takes you to the crest of the Out of Africa Kopje. A nod to the film’s renowned poster, the old-world picnic includes canvas safari chairs, a wicker picnic basket packed with elegant snacks, sparkling wine on ice, a blanket and comfy cushions, not to mention panoramic views of the sun setting over the Maasai Mara. At the lodge you will also be taken to the plaque in honour of Denys Finch Hatton.
