## Details

## Why Stay at Mara Bushtops Camp?

Mara Bushtops sets the standard for pampered safari living: an ultra-luxury tented camp within its own private conservancy adjoining the Masai Mara, complete with butlers, an award-winning spa and an infinity pool facing the plains. Few camps in East Africa blend wilderness immersion and indulgence quite so completely.

## Where Is Mara Bushtops & What Wildlife Can You See?

The camp lies in the Bushtops Conservancy on the eastern edge of the Masai Mara ecosystem, a 45 to 60-minute flight from Nairobi Wilson to Siana Springs airstrip followed by a short game-drive transfer, or a 5 to 6-hour drive via Narok and Sekenani. A natural salt lick in view of camp draws a steady procession of wildlife, and the private conservancy allows night drives and guided walking safaris alongside classic reserve game drives, where big cats, elephants and, in season, the Great Migration take centre stage.

## Rooms & Style

Twelve lavish tented suites stand on large private wooden decks, each with king or twin beds, indoor and outdoor bathrooms and a deck hot tub overlooking the wildlife corridors. Dining is flexible and gourmet, from the main restaurant to candlelit dinners served on your own deck. Sundowner terraces, bush breakfasts and boma evenings ensure the conservancy’s scenery features in every meal, while personalised service extends to private drives on request.

## Who Is It Ideal For?

- Luxury travellers who expect butlers, spa rituals and privacy
- Couples celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries in style
- Safari-goers wanting night drives beyond reserve rules
- Wellness devotees combining game drives with treatments

## Frequently asked questions

### Do the tents at Mara Bushtops have private hot tubs?
Yes. Mara Bushtops' twelve lavish tented suites each stand on a large private wooden deck with a hot tub overlooking the wildlife corridors, plus king or twin beds and both indoor and outdoor bathrooms. Butler service, an award-winning spa and an infinity pool facing the plains complete one of East Africa's most indulgent tented set-ups.

### Where exactly is Mara Bushtops located?
Mara Bushtops lies within its own private Bushtops Conservancy on the eastern edge of the Masai Mara ecosystem, adjoining the national reserve. Guests fly 45 to 60 minutes from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to Siana Springs Airstrip followed by a short game-drive transfer, or drive 5 to 6 hours from Nairobi via Narok and Sekenani, with a 4x4 recommended in the rainy season.

### What wildlife can you see from Mara Bushtops itself?
A natural salt lick in view of the camp draws a steady procession of wildlife, so sightings often start without leaving your deck. Beyond that, the private conservancy allows night drives and guided walking safaris alongside classic reserve game drives, where big cats, elephants and — in the July to October season — the Great Migration take centre stage.

### Is Mara Bushtops good for honeymoons and special occasions?
Yes. Mara Bushtops is built for couples celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries in style, with honeymoon packages, candlelit dinners served on your own private deck, sundowner terraces and an award-winning spa for wellness devotees.
