Mara Bushtops Luxury Camp
Mara Bushtops is one of the Maasai Mara's most exclusive luxury safari camps, located within a private conservancy bordering the reserve. Its location allows guests to enjoy not only traditional game drives but also night drives, walking safaris, and more private wildlife experiences away from the crowds.
July to October is widely considered the best time to visit. During these dry months, wildlife congregates around water sources, vegetation is thinner, and game viewing is exceptional. This period also coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras move through the Mara ecosystem, with dramatic river crossings typically occurring between July and October.
For travelers seeking luxury with fewer crowds, January to March is another excellent period. The weather is generally warm and dry, predator sightings are outstanding, and the landscape remains beautiful. This season is particularly popular with photographers and guests looking for a more exclusive safari experience.
During November and December, the short rains transform the conservancy into a lush green paradise. Birdlife is abundant, rates can be more attractive, and wildlife viewing remains rewarding despite occasional showers.
The long rainy season (April–May) is the quietest period. While some roads may become muddy, guests benefit from lower rates, fewer vehicles, dramatic scenery, and excellent photographic opportunities.
