JOLIE AND PITT HIRED WHOLE CAMP AT THE MARA

A-list hollywood celeb couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were at the Mara from September 10. The couple who are always hounded by paparazzi, quietly entered Kenya with their entourage, and spent a few days at a camp in the Mara.
A source says, “Angelina and Brad hired the whole camp to ensure they had privacy.” The Mr and Mrs Smith stars checked into the Cottars 1920s Safari Camp, which is situated in the Maasai Mara, bordering the Serengeti and Loliondo ecosystem.
They were there to “relax and shop for charity projects in the area,” the source said.
Angelina who is the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) goodwill ambassador spent their Saturday (September 12) with refugees at the Dadaab refugee camp on the Kenya-Somali border.
Apparently her visit was so hush hush even some of the UNHCR officials did not know that the actress was going to visit Daadab, another source intimated.

That aside. Y’all need to know that the Cottars 1920s Safari Camp has also played host to big American stars like Keira Knightley, covered by Vogue and reviewed by the Conde Nast Traveler.
