Take Your Family to Witness Africa's Great Migration
Cottar 1920s Safari Camp and Elephant Pepper Camp, in Kenya, are phenomenal viewing spots to watch as this saga unfolds during the summer months, and now is the perfect time to plan a trip to these lodges since Cheli & Peacock's Family Special promotion allows one child (aged 0-17) to stay for free.

Cottar's luxurious white canvas tents have sublime views of the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti Reserves, and booking a stay at Cottar's allows guests to be a part of safari history. This old world charm has been seasoned with modern luxury, like a pool and spa. Cottar's has four spectacular ‘family tents' replete with ensuite bathrooms and fireplaces. Additionally the camp offers nanny service, a children's menu, and cribs. As Tatler magazine articulated, “Music wafting out of crackling gramophones, hotwater bottles at the foot of canopied beds, wood burning stoves, faded Louis Vuitton trunks and a roaring twenties feel. Cottar's is like a slice of history.”

A stay at the Elephant Pepper Camp also guarantees a front row seat to the Great Migration. The camp's guides know all of the Migration river crossings, and will take guests off the beaten path to savor a picnic lunch and enjoy a private moment with the herds. The camp also offers bush breakfasts and sundowners, guided walks, and game drives, which are all wonderful ways to explore the protected Mara North Conservancy. Elephant Pepper's tents are great for families, and are fitted with ensuite bathrooms, hammocks, and a private veranda. According to Tatler, the beautiful natural setting and plush amenities “combine[s] rustic simplicity with unquestionable luxury.”

The Family Offer is also valid at the other C&P Portfolio properties: Tortilis Camp, Elsa's Kopje, Joy's Camp, Loisaba Wilderness, Kitich Camp, and Lewa Safari Camp. These properties offer a wide variety of family-friendly activities including guided walks, cultural visits, and game drives among others.

Starting rates range between $345 and $610, depending on the property and season. This offer is valid until December 20, 2013 (with the exception of August and September). For more information, visit www.chelipeacock.com or email info@chelipeacock.co.ke.
