Mara Bushtops 

Luxury and tranquillity at an exclusive tented camp raised above the Mara plains for spectacular views.

The 12 lavish tents are among the biggest in East Africa. All have 24-hour butler service and 24-hour power, an expansive deck with wildlife-watching telescope and a romantic outdoor sunken bathtub providing the perfect spot to relax. For families, there's a family tent with two bedrooms. Younger guests can also enjoy the camp's latest addition: the Bushcraft Challenge, with a range of activities based around survival skills, local culture, conservation and flora and fauna.

Game drives are included in the cost, in open 4x4s accompanied by experienced rangers and local Maasai spotters. Daily itineraries are flexible, so one day you might opt for a morning game drive, returning to the camp for lunch before a night drive in the conservancy, while the next you could embark on a full-day drive into the heart of the reserve and to the Mara River.

One of Mara Bushtops' most impressive features is its award-winning Amani Spa – it was voted 2017's Best Safari Spa in Africa. In a tranquil area 500 metres away from camp, you'll find a heated pool (complete with in-water beds), sauna, steamroom, Jacuzzi, two treatment tents and even a gym. There's no better way to end a day on safari than soaking in the spa’s star pool after dark, when the twinkling in-water lights reflect the star-lit sky.

The Amani Spa at Mara Bushtops takes its 'wild luxury' ethos to new levels. In a tranquil area 500 metres away from the camp, you'll find a heated infinity pool (complete with in-water beds and water jets), cold plunge pool, sauna, steamroom, Jacuzzi and even a gym with a view. For the ultimate in safari pampering, there are also two treatment tents offering 20 different treatments using Terres d’Afrique organic skincare products. These sustainably developed, high-quality products take inspiration from the traditional use of African plants as healing elixirs. Signature treatments include the 'Jewel of Africa' massage that uses crystals and warm oils, and the 'Kurhula ritual' – a relaxing body massage using organic coconut oil.

Children over 7 are welcome.
