This eight-night itinerary takes you from the scenic and wildlife-rich Volcanoes National Park to an unrivalled ‘out of Africa’ experience in the Maasai Mara. With panoramic views of Rwanda’s lakes and volcanoes, you will begin your stay at the idyllic Virunga Lodge, ideal for exploring the forest-swathed volcanoes and gorilla populations of Volcanoes National Park. A short flight to Nairobi and a private transfer to the unique Giraffe Manor will give guests a one of a kind safari experience. Not only will you have the opportunity to explore the underrated Nairobi National Park, you’ll also enjoy getting up close and personal with the giraffes roaming through the hotel grounds. After your stay here, you’ll head to the famous Maasai Mara and Cottar’s Camp, a tranquil property located on it’s own 6000-acre private conservancy away from the crowds of the Western Mara. From here, you’ll experience the astonishing masses of wildlife in the Mara with an excellent and unique team of guides.

Cottars 1920’s Safari Camp
Canvas Tent, Full Inclusive
Unlike many other camps in Africa that play on that gone by safari era, Cottars 1920 Camp truly has that heritage with the family operating within this area for just over 100 years. This is a beautifully stylish and luxurious property, yet with current owner Calvin Cottar at the helm, it is still very much in touch with reality. The result is an unpretentious camp, which ultimately seeks out a mutually beneficial existence, between the guests, the Cottar’s team, local communities, and conservation efforts. If a property could be said to have charisma, Cottar’s 1920 Camp would certainly have it.

Hide and seek dealt with our last minute travel plans extremely well. Obviously, our accommodations shifted as availability diminished but ultimately they came up with a vacation that we will never forget.
