The lodge’s specially converted, open 4×4 vehicles make the most of every Serengeti drama during morning, evening and full-day game drives. Excellent guides will help you pick out the action, but also the perfect secluded spot for breaks and picnics.

🛏️ The Camp: Under Canvas

Under Serengeti Bushtops canvas lies the finest in seductive luxury and twelve of the largest, most impressive tented en-suites imaginable.

None are overlooked, but all look over the Serengeti. Each faces the sunset and is open on two sides, revealing heart-stopping vistas of timeless beauty.

The 12 luxurious rooms under canvas are named after the animals that surround them. Each is encircled by vast private decks, creating 120 square metres within which to sink into a deck lounger, soak in your private hot tub or gaze out at passing wildlife.

🎯 Activities at Serengeti Bushtops

🌅 Morning Game Drives

First, the hard bit: waking up before sunrise. Then an improvement: a pre-breakfast snack. After that, your morning at Serengeti Bushtops just gets better and better as you head into the grasslands to greet a new day.

The early morning is a particularly good time for the open vehicles to bring you close to the wildlife, just when the action is at its most exciting. Few predators hunt in the heat, so the cool of a new morning is when you are most likely to witness the thrill of the chase.

🥂 Sundowners

After a thrilling day’s game viewing, there is nothing to beat the blissful comfort of a sundowner – drink in hand.

As your ranger and spotter set up a vantage point from which to watch darkness fall, the idea of wild luxury has become a wondrous reality.

Alternative sundowner options include:

By the pool at camp, watching the sky become streaked by a palette of reds and golds.
In your luxury tent, with your butler bringing your favourite drink to enjoy from your sunken lounge or private hot tub.
