COTTAR'S 1920s SAFARI CAMP

Evoking the Golden Era of travel, romance and adventure, Cottar's 1920s Safari Camp feels like a scene from "Out of Africa."

Owned by Calvin Cottar a fourth-generation Kenyan whose great-grandfather, Charles, inspired by Teddy Roosevelt's hunting exploits came out from Oklahoma in 1911 to become Kenya's first professional white hunter. He died aged 67, killed by a rhino, but not before he had set up the oldest-established safari outfitters in Africa.

I'd like to channel Hemingway and while away the afternoon writing a novel while gazing out at the breathtaking vistas.
