A safari without crowds, designed for families to reconnect across the generations

Cottar’s Safaris - Africa’s oldest family-run safari company - is delighted to announce an exclusive new four-night multigenerational offer designed to meet the continued growing demand for multi-gen safaris. Long known for welcoming families back year after year, Cottar’s Safaris is making it even easier for loved ones to share meaningful time in the wild together.

Set within the private Olderkesi Conservancy in the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem, Cottar’s Safaris provides a uniquely crowd-free, bespoke safari experience. Here, families enjoy abundant wildlife, award-winning guiding, and uninterrupted time to reconnect across generations.

The Offer: Book four nights in one of the NEW Family Tents at the multi-award-winning Cottar’s 1920s Camp and receive:

  • 50% off a Luxury Tent for the grandparents
  • Complimentary accommodation for one child under 13

The package includes:

  • Full-board accommodation 
  • A private safari vehicle with an expert Cottar’s Safaris guide
    A complimentary nanny
  • Daily wildlife drives and guided walks
  • Activities such as foraging, children’s entomology safaris, Maasai warrior school, canvas bush bubble baths, seedball dispersal, wild swimming, stargazing, and wilderness movie nights

Louise Cottar, CEO and Co-owner of Cottar’s Safaris comments ‘Over the past five years, we’ve seen a rising desire among families to travel with grandparents. These are some of the most meaningful safaris we host, and yet they can be difficult to organise. As a company with more than a century of family safari heritage ourselves, we understand just how powerful these shared moments can be. I haven’t seen other camps offering anything quite like this, so we wanted to create something genuinely helpful and different. This offer is designed to make it easier for families to spend time together, to learn together, and to create memories that pass from one generation to the next’

Available from $24,000 (Saving 20% / $6,000) per multi-gen family accommodated on a full board basis in a two-bedroom family tent and a luxury double tent.  Offer includes a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children under 13. Valid during Mid-Season only. Excludes flights, other special offers, and park & conservation fees. To book, visit www.cottars.com

A Unique Offering in the Maasai Mara - What sets Cottar’s Safaris apart:

  • Unmatched privacy: The only exclusive private conservancy in the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem, guaranteeing a highly personal, crowd-free safari.
  • Best-in-class guiding: Home to the highest number of Gold-Level Guides in the Maasai Mara.
  • 20+ unique experiences: From Maasai skills and foraging to immersive nature learning and vintage canvas bush baths, Cottar’s Safaris offers an unparalleled breadth of activities.
  • A deeply impactful stay: Operating on a conservation area on Maasai land, Cottar’s Safaris is one of the most effective ways for travellers to support community-led conservation. Notably, the Cottar family spent the last decade advocating for the Olderkesi community to receive individual title deeds to their land - a milestone achieved in May 2025.
  • 100+ years of expertise: The oldest family-owned safari company in Africa, now in its fifth generation.
  • Verified sustainability leadership: One of only twelve accredited Global Ecosphere Retreats® under The Long Run, and holder of Kenya’s Gold Ecotourism Certification, demonstrating long-standing commitment to conservation, community, culture, and responsible travel.
