Roving Bushtops: A Luxury Mobile Safari Camp That Moves With the Wild
As the first rays of sunlight sweep across the Serengeti, the air hums with life — the low call of a lion in the distance, the rustle of wildebeest hooves, and the quiet thrill of being somewhere utterly untamed. From the comfort of your private deck, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, you watch the plains awaken.
This is Roving Bushtops — a rare safari experience where the wilderness comes to you, and you follow the rhythm of the Great Migration in unmatched comfort.
An Unrivaled Mobile Safari Experience
Roving Bushtops is not a lodge fixed in one place. It’s a luxury mobile tented camp that moves seasonally through the Serengeti National Park, ensuring guests are always positioned near the action of the Great Wildebeest Migration.
From the calving grounds of the Southern Serengeti to the dramatic Mara River crossings in the north, Roving Bushtops places you at the heart of nature’s greatest spectacle. Every few months, the entire camp relocates, following the herds and offering front-row access to one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife events.
Uncompromising Luxury in the Wilderness
Each of the six tented suites at Roving Bushtops redefines what “camping” means on safari. These are lavish, open-plan havens blending canvas and wood with subtle contemporary elegance.
Expect:
- King-size beds and luxury linens
- Freestanding copper bathtubs and outdoor rain showers
- Private hot tubs overlooking the plains
- 24-hour solar power, Wi-Fi, and personal butler service
- Expansive wooden decks perfect for sunrise yoga or evening stargazing
Every tent opens to sweeping Serengeti views — a front-row seat to the wilderness that surrounds you.
Exclusive Safari Experiences
Days at Roving Bushtops unfold at your pace. Set out on private game drives in custom 4×4 vehicles with expert guides who know every curve of the land. Track the Big Five, witness the migration in motion, or pause for a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Back at camp, indulge in:
- Fine dining paired with exceptional wines
- Spa treatments inspired by African botanicals
- Sundowners on kopjes as the sky turns amber and violet
- Lantern-lit bush dinners under a canopy of stars
Every moment is curated for exclusivity, romance, and adventure.
A Camp That Moves With the Seasons
Roving Bushtops operates in three prime Serengeti locations throughout the year:
- December – March: Southern Serengeti (Kusini) – calving season and predator action
- June – July: Central Serengeti (Seronera) – classic game viewing and open vistas

Each setting offers a distinct perspective on the Serengeti — all equally breathtaking.
