Is the Cottar's Bush Villa for Me?

Located in the secluded southeastern edge of Kenya’s Masai Mara, Cottar’s Bush Villa offers a private base from which to explore one of Africa’s most storied landscapes. Sharing the same grounds as Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp, the villa provides a calm, contemporary retreat with the feel of an elegant private home. Built using local, sustainable materials, the space is expansive yet intimate, designed to host just one group at a time.

Inside, you’ll find five en-suite bedrooms, a generous lounge and dining area, and sweeping views from a raised veranda across the savannah. There’s a 25-metre private pool to cool off in between drives, and discreet staff are on hand to ensure your stay flows smoothly. The villa runs on solar and electric power, with full connectivity should you want it.

With a private guide and vehicle throughout, you’re able to explore at your own pace, whether you’re tracking big cats, following the Great Migration, or enjoying the quiet moments birdwatching from your suite.

With complete exclusivity and access to some of Kenya’s most experienced guides, Cottar’s Bush Villa is well suited to multi-generational families, small groups, or travellers seeking privacy and immersion in the wild with no compromise on comfort.
