Luxury and tranquillity await at this exclusive tented camp raised above the Mara plains for spectacular views.
While some camps simply serve as a base to explore the incredible surrounds, Mara Bushtops is a destination in itself. This award-winning camp borders the Maasai Mara reserve and is surrounded by a private conservancy, which allows for off-road and night game drives. 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 spa. All dining is à la carte and there's even an underground wine cellar with an impressive selection of wines from all over the world.
Why we love Mara Bushtops

Mara Bushtops is surrounded by the stunning Isaaten Conservancy, which is operated by Bushtops and completely private to guests
-
Maximise your time and watch night turn into day with a trip into the conservancy to watch the sunrise
-
The award-winning spa overlooks the salt lick, so you can watch animals coming and going while you relax in the solar-heated pool
-
To maximise the wildlife viewing opportunities, the tents open on three sides
Unique experiences
Breakfast at Mara Bushtops
In this unique dining experience, you’ll get to enjoy breakfast in a wilderness setting with live cooking. Toast a glass of bubbly and feast on dishes prepared by a private chef as you look out over the African savannah and watch wildlife roam the plains. Sunrise breakfasts are particularly popular because you get to see life in the Mara as it wakes and capture stunning photographs.
Walking safari with a Maasai warrior from Mara Bushtops
Walking safaris offer guests a close encounter with animals in their natural habitat, as well as a chance to learn about the local flora and Maasai culture. You’ll be guided by one of the expert camp naturalists and a Maasai warrior, who’ll provide fascinating insights into Kenya’s wildlife and landscape.
Maasai Mara sundowners from your own hot tub at Mara Bushtops
After bumping across the plains on a Maasai Mara safari, there’s nothing better than enjoying sundowners from the privacy of your very own hot tub. At Mara Bushtops, the 12 luxury tents each have huge wooden decks complete with sunken tubs and telescopes for wildlife spotting. The 24-hour butler service means you can order drinks straight to your deck while you have a long soak.
Maasai Mara Balloon Flight from Bushtops
Take to the skies on a hot-air balloon safari, where you’ll watch the sunrise over the Maasai Mara and get an aerial view of African wildlife. Upon landing you can enjoy a wonderful Champagne breakfast in the bush before either returning back to camp or heading off on a game drive.

Even the gym maximises the views.
Morning and afternoon game drives are lead by experienced rangers and local Maasai guides.
