A family-run safari business in Kenya has launched five new experiences Guests at Cottar’s Safaris in Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve can now help rehabilitate vultures, collar lions and shadow a tribal hunter-gatherer If you’ve already spotted the ‘big five’ – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, African elephant and Cape buffalo – or want something more from a safari, Cottar’s Safaris has stepped up its game. Established in 1919 in Kenya’s Maasai Mara, Cottar’s Safaris is now run by the fifth generation of the same family. Co-owner Louise Cottar says, ‘Luxury safaris and the big five game experience have become commonplace. We believe that travellers still value these, but that they also want to participate in a safari that provides values, purpose and impact. As such, we have spent the last year developing safari impact experiences that have a positive effect on travellers, the unique biodiversity that surrounds us and the local Maasai community.’
