About Roving Bushtops

Supreme luxury meets action-packed safari thrills in the Serengeti
Welcome to the modern era of mobile safari, with camps that deliver ringside seats to the wildlife action. Roving Bushtops, as it says on the box, is picked up lock, stock and barrel. Not a gram of luxury is lost, though – its six, completely contained, mobile trailers transform into out-of-this-world tents. We love the Serengeti – one of the planet's richest game-viewing regions, and famous for its annual Great Migration. To make the most of the sightings, the camp moves to the Central Serengeti from June to early January; then to the southern Kusini region until late April.

Property details

The property

The camp may be mobile, but its main area has all the feel of permanent luxury. Elevated on a blond-wood deck and covered with stretched canvas, its large tented communal quarter houses the dining room, bar and lounge. On one side, tables are elegantly set with white tablecloths and crystal glasses. On the other, a large lounge area offers intimate seating areas. Outside is an covered deck where guests can dine in the open air.

The rooms

A few steps lead to the light-wood platform that serves as the floor of your handsome mobile tent (one of just six). Your creature comforts have been thoughtfully taken into account – there's a small lounge, a private dining table, and a king-sized bed poised to catch the sunrise. At the back is a double basin and rain-flow shower, and a sunken bathtub (utter luxury). Best feature of all? The wraparound deck. Settle back and soak up the views.

Activities

Because the action can be accessed year-around, you can expect sightings to remember for decades. Wake up for an early game drive to watch a river crossing. Late afternoons and evenings may reveal a lion chasing its prey. Float serenely above it all on a morning hot-air balloon ride. The feeling is indescribable! Take a guided bush walk when the grasses are short enough. Young and old interested in indigenous art and bush knowledge will enjoy the Bushcraft Challenge.
