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

We spent the most magical 4 nights at Mara Bushtops for our honeymoon with our 2 children. This was simply the trip of a lifetime made even more extraordinary by the incredible people we met at Mara Bushops! ||From our game driver Anthony, our spotter Fred to the restaurant staff - Labain to Mutinder for the best welcome!!! You made our trip. ||The highlight was our daily game drives with Tony and Fred - there is nothing Tony doesn’t know about the reserve and there is nothing that Freddy can’t see! We saw the big 5 and everything in between - from spotting a king cobra a km away to tracking our local lion pride to finding the elusive leopard and the 2 rhinos we found on our last day. Every day Anthony asked us what we wanted to see and made it happen for us - no stone or bush was left unturned!!||The accommodation was unreal - complete luxury and every little thing is considered. The food was exceptional and our regular table for lunch will never be beaten - surrounded by giraffes at the salt lick! ||The worst part was leaving and saying goodbye!!

The most incredible gem, we’d go back in a heartbeat. Everything was just amazing. I’d highly recommend Bushtops to anybody looking to travel to Masai Mara for safari. ||Safaris |We were lucky enough to see the big 5! From the moment our ranger and spotter, John and Sena, picked us up from the airstrip their service and knowledge has been incredible. They asked us what we wanted to see in particular, and have gone above and beyond with every safari. The little touches like a hot water bottle in the jeep for the cold mornings and the breakfast served out in the park are incredible. Sena has such an eye and spotted so much we’d never have seen! |You can tailor safari times to exactly what you want, they will advise you based on what you want to see (I.e rhinos need to go first thing to have a chance to see them). |They also pack breakfasts and/or lunch for you everyday to eat out on safari which is really special. ||The lodge |10/10. Everything is so well thought out. The rooms are turned down every evening, you get an early morning wake up call with a hot drink. The lodges are comfortable and have a huge deck and everything you could need. We saw elephants zebra and giraffes daily from our terrace overlooking the salt lick! |We felt so safe with all the rangers around and when you call to be escorted to the restaurant at night someone is there within a minute to come and get you and walk you where you need to go. ||Restaurant |The food is delicious! A great selection of meals and vegetarian options and Chef has a daily special everyday too. They also have a cocktail and mocktail of the day and you can sit and watch the animals at the salt lick whilst you eat, or have room service on your deck. ||Staff |All the staff are just incredible. They’re so warm and friendly and can’t do enough for you - nothing is too much trouble. They remember what you like to drink, what you’ve done that day, and are just the loveliest people and really make the experience. ||The camp |It’s a small camp with only 12 tents - when we went in October it was at the end of the season so was only half full, and then guests are out and about on safari so it’s very quiet and peaceful around the camp and restaurant. For some it may be too quiet but we didn’t mind it as you’re out most of the day then getting an early night usually for an early morning start. |The fact the camp is within its own conservancy is one of the many reasons this camp is pricier, but definitely worth it to allow us to do the night safari and walking safari which you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. ||Booking |Martha was excellent throughout the booking and initial enquiry process. She sent through all the information we needed and more, replied quickly. She arranged all our transfers with our internal flights and road transfers between airports and everything went smoothly and as planned. Martha made the experience really easy for us.

Beautiful, beautiful location. The guides make safari suggestions vs other tent camps that simply tell you things you can do/experience. What make the difference is..your mind then considers the suggestions and thus it expands the experiences you have. | We asked, they did..allow us to wave at family from the live video. Our families were thrilled to see us having such a wonderful experience. | Plus, the staff and views are terrific. I may well be back.

Spa treatments, private hot tubs, wellness programs, and yoga. Personalized service with top-notch game drives in a less crowded area. Classy tented suites with plush interiors. Great for: Wellness lovers and honeymooners.

Beautiful property with amazing views! Our tent was immaculate and so comfortable. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The manager Luis was always available and making sure that our stay was enjoyable. Our safari guides Daniel and Sena were nice and friendly. They took very good care of us while on safari and did their best to find as many animals as possible. The restaurant had amazing food with much to choose from and the waiters were also so friendly and always waiting with a smile to help you. We loved the South African wine and beer selection as well. I highly recommend Bushtops.

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!

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!
