We absolutely loved our stay at this camp. The location is fantastic, very safe and peaceful. The security service is excellent — in the evenings they escort guests to and from the restaurant, which made us feel very comfortable. The food is amazing, and one of the biggest highlights is that the menu is not limited by time. You can order whenever you want, and everything is fully included from morning until evening, including local African alcoholic drinks. The management deserves special praise — very responsive, caring, and attentive. During early morning safaris, they even provided blankets and hot water bottles so we wouldn’t get cold on the road. That level of care truly stood out. Most importantly, for anyone coming here: the first thing you should do upon arrival is book a guide named Tom. He is a true encyclopedia of safari knowledge — animals, birds, reptiles, snakes, and nature in general. You will learn things you might never even learn in the best school. We saw the entire Big Five, were extremely satisfied with our experience, and highly recommend this camp to future guests.

Lawrence, Tony (driver), Stanley (spotter), Pascal (butler) Laban & Chef truly are dedicated to making sure your stay at Bushtops is five-stars all around. My wife and I spent our honeymoon here, and we have zero regrets in our decision. They came highly recommended by family members who stayed here previously back in 2023. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable, amazing, safe, and exciting honeymoon experience. We wish to be back some day, if not to visit, at least to say Hi to all the amazing people we met here. Truly 10/10 experience. We cannot thank you enough for the memories that will be instilled in us, and talked about for a lifetime. Wishing Bushtops and all its staff the best, in health, happiness and success. If you’re looking to take holiday in the African wilderness, seriously consider Bushtop Safari Camp if you do not want to be disappointed. We saved and spent our hard-earned money here and we would do it again and again. THANK YOU BUSHTOPS! Jonathan + Amanda Fox Tent

Our stay at Mara Bushtops in the Masai Mara was truly something we’ll never forget. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth—the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything you need. You can really feel that they love what they do, and it makes the whole experience even more special. A huge shoutout to our amazing ranger Joseph and our incredible spotter Fred—they made every game drive so much fun and so memorable. Their knowledge, passion, and genuine kindness made us feel safe, excited, and always taken care of. They spotted animals we would’ve never seen on our own and shared so many interesting facts—it was like going on safari with close friends. One of the most thoughtful touches was how they provided hot water bottles and cozy blankets for the early morning and evening safaris. It gets quite chilly during those times, and those little comforts made such a big difference—they think of everything before you even ask. And the wildlife... wow. One of the most amazing things is that you don’t even have to leave your room to see animals. Right from our tent, we could watch zebras, giraffes, and even elephants come to the salt lick just in front of the camp. It felt like a live documentary happening right outside our deck—it was surreal. The tents (which honestly feel more like luxury suites) are beautifully designed, super spacious, and open to nature in the most breathtaking way. You can soak in a hot tub while watching wildlife roam nearby—it’s like being in the wild, but with 5-star comfort. Every detail—from the gourmet meals to the stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and world-class service—was beyond perfect. Whether you’re going out on a game drive or just relaxing at camp, Mara Bushtops is the definition of safari luxury. We didn’t want to leave!

I cannot recommend staying at Mara Bushtops enough. Of all the places across the world I’ve ever stayed, this was my favorite. The staff went above & beyond to make this honeymoon trip special for my wife & I. Specifically, Tom & Alfred were amazing. They were so energetic during our game drives & knowledgeable about the animals (Alfred is also an excellent photographer)! They, along with the unbelievable restaurant staff, went to great lengths to make this trip so memorable. While the animals, the food, and the views were all amazing, it was them that made this experience so special for us. Would give 100 stars if I could - cannot wait to visit again!
