Mara Bushtops

Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Platinum price level

Mango Opinion

Mara Bushtops offers gorgeous tents with generous spaces that are quite romantic, making this a great spot for honeymooners. The location is not perfect however as they are in a busy central part of the Mara so expect to encounter a fair number of other safari goers.

The words ‘exclusive’ and ‘luxurious’ are often exaggerations: at Mara Bushtops they fit like a glove. Watching from your own 100 square meter private deck as an abundance of wildlife congregates around the adjacent salt lick is, literally, unforgettable. Having your butler draw your hot tub after a spectacular game drive is heavenly. Delving into the well-stocked wine cellar and enjoying superb cooking simply adds to the magic. Together, these experiences create an oasis of five-star luxury, blending peace with adventure – and first-class comfort with unforgettable sights and smells, sounds and sensations.

Mara Bushtops comprises 12 luxury tented en suites. None of the tents are overlooked, but all look over our private Conservancy and its teeming wildlife. Each tent is named after one of the animals that might saunter past its private viewing deck. Leopard is a family suite, with two double bedrooms linked by a sumptuous lounge of its own. The restaurant at Mara Bushtops overlooks this natural gathering point for local wildlife. This makes the adjacent camp fire an enticing place for a sundowner, or final drink after dinner. Most guests, however, find it hard to tear their attention away from the superb cuisine. Every day in the Masai Mara is different. Each of our game drives is an adventure into the unknown. We’d love to guarantee you’ll see the big five. We’re confident you will spot lions, buffalo and elephants, often in great numbers. Leopards and rhino can be shy, but we do all in our power to seek them out.
