Roving Bushtops Camp In-Depth Review

Experience the Best of Both Worlds at Roving Bushtops Camp

Some safari camps boast stunning locations but are stationary, while others offer a more mobile experience, sacrificing luxury for adventure. At Roving Bushtops, you get the best of both worlds. Nestled in the heart of the Seronera Valley, Central Serengeti, the camp moves with the great migration, traveling to the Kusini Area in the Southern Serengeti from January to mid-April. This roving concept harks back to the pioneering explorers but offers a modern, luxurious safari experience tailored for the 21st century.

Intimate, Luxurious Tents with a View

With just eight tents, the camp offers an intimate atmosphere, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking surroundings. While you’ll be staying in a ‘tent,’ it’s actually a lavish private room under canvas, providing the perfect blend of comfort and wilderness. You’ll be taken care of by your personal butler, who ensures your every need is met—whether it’s a refreshing drink, a midnight snack, laundry service, or a soothing massage. Just ask, and your butler will make it happen.

The en-suite bathroom features a flushing toilet, a luxurious bath, vanity basin, and a shower. Each tent also includes a writing desk, a secure safe for your valuables, and tastefully decorated furnishings, many of which are sourced locally. Permanent 220v AC power and complimentary Wi-Fi are available, though, due to the remote location, wireless and mobile phone connections can be slow and intermittent.

When you step outside, you’ll find over 100 square meters of wooden decking with a sunken bathtub, sun loungers, and a dining table for private meals. You can open the sides of your tent during the day to enjoy panoramic views of the vast Serengeti, complete with the soothing sounds of the wildlife all around you. The central area of the camp includes a reception, lounge, and dining space, plus a fine wine wall and a mini library for quiet moments. Grab a cocktail, relax, and take in the serenity.

Endless Activities to Explore the Serengeti

From Roving Bushtops, you’ll witness the raw beauty and majesty of the Serengeti. You can observe the iconic big five, enjoy the sights of herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, or spot solitary crocodiles in the area. Game drives are conducted in open vehicles, giving you a full 360-degree view of the African landscape. For a more personal experience, you can also embark on a private nature walk, ideal when the grass is short, to explore the terrain up close and discover animal tracks, birdlife, and hidden wonders of the bush.

For a unique perspective, book a hot air balloon safari (at an additional cost) or visit the local Robanda school to meet the vibrant children of the community.

After a day of adventures or relaxation, treat yourself to a private massage on your deck while the Serengeti’s ever-changing beauty unfolds before your eyes. Picture this tranquil moment—can you think of a better way to unwind?

Gourmet Dining Under the African Sky

You may not expect fine dining in a mobile camp, but Roving Bushtops surpasses expectations. The chefs are as passionate about food as they are about safaris, offering an exquisite blend of international, continental, and local dishes. Dietary needs are gladly accommodated with prior notice, ensuring a personalized culinary experience. After a day in the bush, enjoy a four-course meal by the campfire as the sun sets over the Serengeti, creating a magical atmosphere you’ll remember forever.
