|
Die Lodge The Ark, in
stilistischer Anlehnung an eine Arche gebaut, befindet sich in einem dichten Wald im
Herzen des Aberdare National Parks. Die zahlreichen Aussichtsdecks, Balkone und Lounges
bieten Ihnen die Möglichkeit, die Tiere zu beobachten, die das Wasserloch und die
Salzlecke besuchen. Ein Aussichtspunkt in Bodenhöhe bietet Ihnen zudem die Gelegenheit,
exzellente Fotos zu schießen. The Ark besitzt 60 ‘cabin-styled’ Zimmer,
einschließlich 6 Einzel-, 36 Doppel-, 10 Zweibett- und 8 Dreibetthütten. Alle Zimmer
haben ein eigenes Badezimmer mit Dusche, sind komfortabel möbliert und bieten Ihnen einen
Blick auf den Wald oder das Wasserloch. Um kein Highlight zu verpassen, ist in jedem
Zimmer ein System installiert, das den Gast informiert, sobald einer der Big 5 gesichtet
wird.
Das Frühstück und Abendessen werden im Hauptspeisezimmer serviert. Auf einem der
Aussichtsdecks befindet sich eine Lounge und eine Bar, an welcher die ganze Nacht Kaffe
und Tee serviert wird.

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
Drawing on eighty years of Safari service, the Cottar family will provide guests with the
highest standard of personalized and professional guiding. Tailor made itineraries ensure
the safari provides a unique experience for our guests. Recalling an era of luxury and
quality, Cottar's 1920's Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara returns to the original spirit and
essence of 'safari', reminiscent of a golden era - an era of romance, professional
guiding, adventure and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting with panoramic views
and boundless game.EXCLUSIVE AREA IN THE MAASAI MARA
The Cottar's 1920's Safari Camp is situated in our extensive and exclusive concession
between the Maasai Mara, Serengeti and Loliondo reserves where a few Purko Maasai clan
roam. This area has been untouched by any kind of tourism or development and offers the
discerning client a guarantee of privacy.
LUXURY UNDER CANVAS
The camp accommodates up to twelve clients in authentic white canvas tents, which are
spacious and luxuriously furnished and incorporate original safari antiques from the
'20's; private en suite dressing rooms and bathrooms (with old-fashioned showers and
flushing toilets), the main bedroom and an outdoor veranda.
PROFESSIONAL GUIDING
Guest activities include game drives guided by Calvin Cottar or guides of equal
professional standard in either state of the art modern four wheel drive cars, in our
authentic, old wooden car or in our oxen pulled wagon. Alternatively, a tented reading
room with an extensive array of African and modern books and magazines will allow those
who wish to merely while away an afternoon resting and viewing the most splendid panorama.
INCREDIBLE ACTIVITIES
As our concession is outside the game parks, therefore guided walks and night drives are
allowed and highly recommended. By walking, guests can get that much closer to nature, and
if an opportunity to track wild game presents itself, our trained trackers will take
guests even closer still. On a more self-indulgent note, our masseuse will now be based
full-time at the camp for complimentary massages, manicures and pedicures. Any other needs
that guests may have will be met by butlers who have been trained to provide guests with
discreet, yet attentive service.
