Location
“Breathtaking!” That’s what our visitors tend to say when gazing out over the romantic expanse of the Serengeti plains, one of nature’s most spectacular landscapes which span over 14 763 square kilometres.Africa is truly blessed by these lands, and they couldn't have found a more wonderful location in this ‘extended place’,as the Maasai call the Serengeti.The camp nestles within the northern sector of the reserve a UNESCO World Heritage site.With the famous Mara River just 15 miles away,the camp lies directly in the path of the spectacular annual wildebeest migration,which takes place between June and November.
Like the sister camp Mara Bushtops,they are not simply witnesses to nature:at Serengeti Bushtops you are participants, living in the heart of the ecosystem which supports the greatest wildlife populations in Africa.That means fabulous, abundant wildlife viewing all year round -with a ringside seat for nature’s most awesome event.From Serengeti Bushtops you witness life at its most raw,thrilling and captivating,from the awesome grandeur of the big five to the shimmering glory of local birdlife –and from the vast herds of wildebeest,zebras and gazelles to the silent presence of solitary crocodiles.
You can visit us via several routes. We can be reached by light aircraft from Arusha,landing at the nearby Kogatende airstrip.Alternatively, guests can take a private one way or return transfer from our sister camp,travelling from the Mara Bushtops airstrip at Siana Springs to Migori,transferring to Isabenia Border,then enjoying a scenic three-hour drive through fascinating bush country. Anyone preferring to reach us by road can do so from Ngorongoro, Nudutu and the southern Serengeti.Either way, you will arrive to a warm welcome and a glorious backdrop to the ultimate Safari experience.
