- Elephant
Pepper Camp is seasonal and is dismantled for three months of the year. The
spacious canvas tents, with an en suite dressing room, eco-friendly flush
loos and safari showers, are comfortably furnished.
- Extended
game drives which continue into the evening make game viewing a complete
experience.
- Elephant
Pepper Camp brings people back to nature, no traffic, no permanent
structures obstructing your view, just the sights and sounds of the African
bush.
- The Cottar
Safari tradition began in 1919. Today Cottars offers a return to the
original spirit and essence of ‘safari’, reminiscent of a golden era.
- The camp
is situated in the south east of the Masai Mara, bordering the Serengeti and
Loliondo reserves in an untouched exclusive concession guaranteeing privacy
and an abundance of wildlife.
- Guided
bush walks, river swimming and day and night game drives are one of the
highlights of this area. Cottars is one of the only small luxury properties
in the Mara with a swimming pool.
- Manda Bay is
located on the north western tip of Manda Island, one of the many unspoiled,
idyllic islands of the Lamu archipelago.
- An exclusive
resort surrounded by miles of white sand, Manda Bay offers relaxation, water
sports, dhow safaris and luxurious pampering
- From Manda
Bay we have access to Lamu and Shela Village for a taste of authentic
Swahili culture.
Best time of the year
- This safari is
best planned during August and September - book in advance!
- Kenya’s
climate and altitude make it a great year round destination. Over most of
the country there are two rainy seasons: the ‘Short’ rains which occur from
late October through November and the ‘Long’ rains which occur from late
March to early June.
- If you visit
during a rainy period you’ll find that the rain usually falls in the late
afternoon preceded by bright, sunny and fresh days.
- July and
August are the coolest months and are often overcast especially in the
morning.
- December to
mid March is the warmest time of the year.
- The
migration is in the Masai Mara between July and October but space can be at
a premium.
- Cottars and
Elephant Pepper Camp are closed throughout the months of April and May.
Manda Bay closes from mid April to mid July. [See additional
information on the coastal seasons
at Manda Bay, Lamu]
