Serengeti Bushtops Camp In-Depth Review

Experience Sunset Luxury in the Heart of the Serengeti

Imagine staying in one of just fifteen luxurious tents, perfectly positioned to catch the breathtaking African sunset. Serengeti Bushtops offers a stylish escape nestled among gentle hills, surrounded by open acacia woodlands and sweeping grasslands. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a sanctuary of indulgence set within one of nature’s most awe-inspiring backdrops.

As you unwind in your private hot tub, gaze out across the vast plains of the Serengeti and let the magic of the wild wash over you. From the excitement of the Great Migration to the quiet beauty of the savannah, every moment is raw, exhilarating, and unforgettable. After a day of discovery, enjoy gourmet cuisine paired with fine wines, then retreat to the comfort of your tent where your personal butler and welcoming staff ensure your every need is met.

Whether you’re here during the peak migration or off-season, the wildlife never disappoints. Expect close encounters with wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and even crocodiles—all with the feeling that you have this incredible wilderness all to yourself.

Your Secluded Safari Retreat

Every detail at Serengeti Bushtops is designed to immerse you in the natural surroundings while giving you the utmost comfort. Each of the twelve thoughtfully designed tents is spacious, stylish, and completely private—your personal oasis after a day of adventure.

Private paths lead you from your tent to the heart of the camp, where you’ll find inviting communal spaces. The open-air lounge and dining area create a relaxed setting for sharing stories with fellow travelers. Enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar, browse the library, or admire the curated wine wall. Want to cool off? The outdoor pool offers panoramic views of the Serengeti—perfect for a quiet moment under the African sky.

Adventures That Take You Beyond the Jeep

You’ll never run out of things to do here. Choose from a wide array of activities that go beyond traditional game drives. Take a walking safari with an expert ranger and get up close to giraffes, impalas, and zebras—starting with a hearty bush breakfast to fuel your morning trek.

For something truly unforgettable, opt for a hot-air balloon safari (available at an additional cost). You’ll lift off before sunrise, floating silently above the herds as the golden light spills across the plains. After an hour of breathtaking aerial views, touch down for a champagne bush breakfast to celebrate the adventure.

Learn, Explore, and Connect with the Wild

Looking for a hands-on way to engage with the Serengeti? The Bushcraft Challenge offers fun and educational experiences for all ages. You’ll learn basic survival skills like starting a fire without matches, identifying animal tracks, and completing a wildlife-spotting checklist. It’s a great way to bond with family or friends while gaining a deeper respect for conservation—and you’ll earn a special Bushtops certificate for completing the challenge.

As the day winds down, don’t miss the Klipspringer dining experience. This intimate meal takes place among natural rock formations that create a cozy amphitheater, favored by the local Klipspringer antelope. With lanterns glowing, a crackling bonfire, and a beautifully prepared meal from the executive chef, it’s the perfect setting for a magical night.

Unforgettable Serengeti Sunsets

No safari is complete without a golden-hour moment. Head out to Simba’s Rock—named for the lions that often lounge here—and enjoy a classic sundowner as the sky burns orange and pink. Or keep it private and watch the sunset from your tent’s sunken lounge or hot tub. However you choose to experience it, the moment will stay with you forever.
