Exploring the Wonders of Roving Bushtops in the Serengeti

SERENGETI – UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE

The wonderful thing about Roving Bushtops is that it enables us to set up camp in the part of the vast Serengeti plains best suited to changing conditions, migration patterns, and the best game viewing opportunities. We tend to move between two locations in any year, giving us access to the unimaginably vast 10,000 square mile (15,000 square kilometre) Serengeti ecosystem, of which almost two-thirds forms the national park.

The Bushtops Rovers

★★★★★

Each of our tents is packed into an extraordinary, utterly unique mobile unit we call the Rover – hence the name Roving Bushtops. We conceived, designed and created the revolutionary format ourselves, introducing something genuinely innovative to African safaris, and indeed the world. The short video shows the action unfolding – literally!


Accommodation

At Roving Bushtops, each tent offers exquisite accommodations featuring king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas with majestic views.

Wondrous Comfort – On Wheels

Small is beautiful.

The Bushtops’ smallest destination has just eight tents, but maintains the exceptional standards set by all Bushtops camps. Each of our unique wheeled tents provides exclusive comfort and a haven of peace at the heart of your Serengeti adventure. Pinch yourself, to confirm you’ve truly reconnected – to paradise!

Tent Details

Your tented space is actually a stunningly-appointed five-star ensuite haven, under canvas. During the day it is open on three sides, letting you gaze out at timeless, endless vistas, interrupted only by birdsong. Relax, or ask your personal butler to arrange a hot tub in the sunken bathtub, a massage on the deck, or a meal in the privacy of your tent.

Then, after a day’s adventures, slip under fresh linen in your king size bed before being lulled to sleep by the timeless music of the Serengeti.

Activities at Roving Bushtops

The camp’s expert guides will take you on thrilling game drives, where you’ll have the chance to witness the “Big Five” in their natural habitat.After a day of adventure, return to your haven in the wilderness to indulge in gourmet meals and stargazing by the campfire. Roving Bushtops seamlessly fuses the excitement of safari life with luxury, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll treasure forever.

Explore the Serengeti

The camp’s main base sits proudly in the heart of the Central Serengeti, in the Seronera valley. Not only does our superb location provide exceptional year-round game viewing, but the migration also passes through twice a year, usually during June/July and October/November.

Roving South

When Roving Bushtops makes its move, our favoured location is Kusini in the south of the Serengeti. We travel to coincide with the wildebeest birthing season, which sees half a million calves (up to 8,000 a day) take their wobbly first steps between January and March/April. With eager predators in search of an easy meal, we are privileged to witness life and death adventures, from Roving Bushtops’ southern home.
