Cottars 1920's Camp is situated in the south eastern part of the Masai Mara, and borders the Serengeti and Loliondo in Kenya. There are few camps in the area and game viewing is superb. The migration passes this part of the Masai Mara from approximately August to October on its way south towards the Serengeti and the short grass plains. The Masai Mara boasts astonishing amount of game. Unfenced, the Mara borders the Ngama Hills in the east and the Olooloo or Siria Escarpment in the west. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found, so are predators. The famous black-maned Mara lions are possibly the stars of the Mara show. In earlier times the Masai were renowned lion killers and it is said that if lions scent approaching Masai on the breeze they move swiftly in the opposite direction. Cheetah, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thompson's gazelle, waterbuck, hyena and the primates can also be found roaming the Masai Mara.
