Serengeti Bushtops 

Your five-star safari camp

The exclusive Serengeti Bushtops combines indulgence and adventure for an unforgettable experience.

This oasis of beautifully crafted tents sits in the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Serengeti National Park and blends world-class comfort with a raw, inspiring landscape, rich in extraordinary game. From June to November it’s right in the middle of the wildebeest migration corridor. Visit out of peak season (November to April) for a quieter, more romantic experience. You'll still see all the resident game thanks to the camp's close proximity to the Mara River and there's hardly any vehicle traffic.

Explore the vast plains on game drives in open converted 4x4 vehicles with the camp’s excellent guides and local Kuria spotters. From thrilling bush picnics to enchanting sundowners, the emphasis here is on luxury and unsurpassed service – together with an environmentally sensitive approach. It's far more than a convenient base from which to explore the rich local landscapes.

Why we love Serengeti Bushtops

  • The area is world-famous for its exciting river crossings during the Great Migration, where huge crocodiles wrestle herds of wildebeest and zebra

  • When you’re not out on game drives, cool off in the pool or have a relaxing treatment in the spa

  • There are no fixed meal times so you can dine when and where you like

  • Your private butler is on-call 24-hours a day to assist with bringing refreshments, filling your hot tub, or anything else you require
