Wild Movie NightsCottar’s Safaris, Kenya
Forget Deadpool & Wolverine, Cottar’s Safaris has come up with the newest box office smash hit.
No, it’s not a film. But it is one of the most magical settings you’ll ever watch one in—think a specially designed cinema set up under the African stars. The deluxe camp’s, ‘Wild Movie Nights’, allows guests to watch their favourite African-themed films, from The Lion King to Out of Africa, in the middle of the Kenyan landscape.
A large projector screen ensures you won’t be blocked by the guy with the big head in front of you and the selection of aperitifs served from the alfresco cinema’s vintage bar also guarantees you don’t have to be 100% sober when you watch Simba cry for his dead dad (the PTSD is real).
A crackling fire pit, warm lantern lighting, fuzzy blankets and your choice of either comfortable canvas bean bags or traditional shuka mats make up the rest of the cinema’s decor.
And there’s snacks (obvs)! Freshly buttered popcorn, salty hot dogs and homemade chocolates are only a few delicious items on the menu, but don’t spoil your appetite: an opulent dinner served under the stairs waits for the guests returning to the main camp.
But this is one cinema experience you’ll have to wait for—its release date is scheduled for October (our bags are already packed).
You don’t have to stay at Cottar’s Safari to catch a Wild Movie Night flick but the experience won’t be running ’til October so keep your eyes peeled.
