Serengeti Bushtops Camp

The main guest area is a huge open-plan canvas tent on a raised timber platform, with a dining room, library and a sunken lounge around the central bar and fireplace. Sleek lines, fresh natural colours and the soft glow of polished wood are beautiful, and the styling is elegant without being too elaborate. A short stroll from the main tent is a stunning swimming pool carved out of the rocks, with a sun deck and secluded sala, just made for an afternoon with a good book.

Bushtops has twelve incredibly stylish canvas suites on raised timber decks. The interiors are chic and uncluttered, with a classic safari palette of natural colours, solid timber furniture, and vast beds beneath romantic swathes of mosquito net. Ensuite bathrooms have super-soaking rain showers, and each tent has a private deck with a hot tub – there's nowhere better to relax and soak up the views in complete privacy. Two of the rooms are interlinked, and perfect for families.

Expect to see elephant, buffalo, prides of lion, leopard and cheetah, and large numbers of plains game on the early morning and late afternoon game drives. Guided bush walks will give you a chance to stretch your legs and explore the wilderness on foot, and the birdwatching opportunities are excellent. During the Great Migration, witness the unforgettable spectacle of the wildebeest herds crowding along the Mara River banks, preparing to brave the treacherous waters and hungry crocodile (June to November).
