Bushtops Camp in Kenya is hands down one of the most luxurious and well-run safari experiences you can have. While the camp is located just outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve, this actually works in its favor. You still have access to incredible wildlife in their private conservancy (we saw so much!), and the added bonus is the ability to do night safaris, which are not allowed within the park itself. The camp also has its own private airstrip, making arrivals and departures seamless and convenient.
During the day, you can head into the national park for game drives, so you really don’t miss out on anything. In fact, the combination of both areas gives you a richer, more varied experience.
The service here is next-level. Every detail is thought through, and the team truly excels at what they do. Huge shoutout to Joseph, our incredible guide, and Fred, our spotter—both were 10/10. Their knowledge, passion, and instinct made every game drive special. A big thank you as well to David in the kitchen (the food is phenomenal), Laban who served every meal with warmth and care, and the rest of the team who made us feel so welcome.
If you're looking for a top-tier, luxury safari with world-class service, amazing wildlife, and the flexibility to explore both a private conservancy and the national park, Bushtops is the place to be.
