Mara Bushtops Camp is nestled on the edge of this intoxicating scene, creating an oasis of luxury for serious safari seekers in Masai Mara. Within the 200-acre ranch of Mara Bushtops camp, you’ll find an exciting blend of tranquility and adventure where you can relax in first class comfort surrounded by one of nature’s living masterpieces.
Set amid the 60,000 hectares of the Mara Siana Wildlife Conservancy, directly bordering the Masai Mara itself, Mara Bushtops boasts a sensational location. Perched on top of a hill with a scenic valley to one side, the camp lies just ten minutes’ drive from the main gate of the National Park and within striking distance of the beautiful Mara River where the famous river crossing of wildebeest and zebras takes place during the migration.
Without doubt one of the world’s most spectacular game reserves, Kenya’s treasured National Reserve – the Maasai Mara – provides a breathtaking backdrop to the ultimate Safari experience. Taking its name from the region’s vast ‘dotted plains’, the landscape is a constantly moving tableau, literally teeming with an endless variety of wildlife. In this magnificent wilderness you can immerse yourself in myriad new sensations; waking to the call of lions and buffalo, thrilling at the closeness of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles, basking in the glow of a crackling camp fire at twilight, and dreaming under a dazzling night-canopy of stars.
Accommodation
Embracing a philosophy of environmental conservation, Mara Bushtops Camp has been cleverly designed to make the most of natural resources as well as modern amenities.
