Mara Bushtops exceeded all of my expectations - so much so that I'm writing a review while I'm still here! All the other reviewers have covered most major advantages of staying here and it is all true - you feel like a VIP every second of your stay. I happened to be here in low season, so all of my...

My wife and I were at Mara Bushtops for 3 nights. I'm a wildlife photographer and I had the best experience. The 4X4 land cruiser used for game drives are wonderfully planned and equipped. It comes with a power socket, flood lights for night driving. We stopped in the middl e of Masai Mara national reserve for lunches and breakfast.... More

I travelled to the Mara quit often and know many different Camps and Lodges. This time I stayed at the Mara Bushtops Camp and spent seven fantastic days here. From the moment that I was met at the airstrip by the Ranger Martin and the charming Masai Nelson, I felt like a VIP. The camp itself is a magical place... More

This was our first safari experience but will not be the last thanks to Daniel and Senna our game guide and spotter. Daniel was extremely knowledgable and went an extra mile to ensure that we returned back with loads of memorable experiences. In one day we saw the big five + loads more! The camp was excellent, and we could... More

My parents and me went for four days to Mara Bushtops. The site is excellent and the team is very friendly and welcoming. From the restaurant you can see many animals of the preservation in the open that feel attracted by natural salt springs that they come to lick for the taste. We just saw 40-50 baboons, all type of... More

We can do nothing but add more praise… We had a truly wonderful stay at Mara Bushtops at Christmas. Location and accommodation are outstanding as mentioned before but what makes this place so special are the people. The staff – everyone we met – is incredibly warm, kind, courteous and professional. There is superior personal service and attention to detail.... More

This has to be the best place to start a safari holiday. The food is excellent and service is also first class. We stayed there for 5 nights in August and were royally looked after. We met some lovely other guests who also were bubbling with enthusiasm about the place. The vehicles are in good condition and the knowledge of... More

Firstly, it's so difficult trying to book accommodation here, I couldn't do it direct with the hotel, if you are travelling from the UK Kuoni are the only agents who will do this for you.........and it's not cheap but worth every single penny!!! I chose this place as it ticked all the boxes and really is a luxury stay. I... More

This is without doubt the best place I have ever been. All the staff are fantastic, but I would especially like to mention Peter our guide/driver and Nelson our Masai spotter. The tents are fabulous and they have the best showers I have ever had in any 5* hotel. We got married at the resort and Georget and his staff... More
