Mara Bushtops many of us in the course of the time visited safari camps the best we'have ever been to. Everything is simply right, from empfáng at the airstrip, the tent (we had number 10, jackal ), the restaurant should Michelin star get, environment, everything was perfect. In the conservancy we have a sundowner and a breakfast in the middle of the Mara. Especially in our experience the possibility like, on the eve of the guide (for us it was Alex) exchange and so duration and time pirschfahrten should be laid down, not the usual 3 pirschfahrten at scheduled times. ... We even had on one day only a short hunting early in the morning made, to the veranda, the pool and the beautiful nature in all peace to be able to enjoy and the inclusive -massage in the tent. The 'big five' we saw here in '4 big days'! These days we will not soon forget and definitely come again. read more

The Mara Bushtops is the best that we had during the past 7 safaris we to experience was allowed. The starts with the welcome by the manager Georget at, you have to take the tour of the cellar and the culinary offer to top equipped tent. Our butler Bonifas las our every wish from our eyes and made the safari for a relaxing Bubble bath on the own terrace.
The Vehicles ( Toyota Landcruiser) on the newest and best equipped. Our driver Alex and his companion John and Stanley are very good trained and you feel, that they are their ... job fun. Through the park, it is also possible the sunset in the park and then a night safari to make.
We regretted, that we instead of Intrepids not a few Nights in Bushtops booked.
For this reason we will the Bushtops in 2013 again beuchen. read more

Simply the best!
I have in past decades, many safaris in Kenya and Tanzanie and know many camps and lodges in the different national parks and reserves. This year I chose a goal, like already so often, the Masai Mara and as a starting point for my photo safari, the Mara Bushtops Camp.
Already on arrival at the airfield I felt like a VIP, as I from driver Martin and Masai guide Nelson with coffee, tea and chilled drinks welcomed.
Location
The Mara Bushtops Camp is in a spectacular location at the foot of a ridge and in the camp ... belonging Mara Bushtops Conservancy, close to the Masai Mara national reserve, located.
Accommodation
The camp includes 12 luxurious Wohnzelte with spacious bedroom and private terrace. A few months newly built Familienzelt with two separate bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a cozy equipped living room, leaves nothing to be desired.
Each tent is on a platform created, luxurious and kind furnished as some suite of a top -hotels. Indoor and outdoor shower (high pressure), double sinks, large mirror, toilet with versenktem box, fluffy beach towels, hair dryer, desk and various opportunities to sit, comfortable beds with cozy pillows, comfortable chairs and couches on the terrace, with a fantastic view of the endless savanna has. A ideal capacity, animals to watch, in a distance of about 100 meters pass. On the terrace there is a 'hot tap' for a relaxing bath with warm water after the safari. The Tents are equipped with 24 hours Electricity and have many outlets with adapters, so that there were no problem should be, batteries for cameras, telephones and computers to load.
Food
The meal times left nothing to be desired and all a la card offered. The quality of the dishes is excellent. As well as the excellent wines from the hotel's own wine cellar
Employee
The employees are very well trained, accommodating, friendly and unobtrusive. No effort was too much, around my stay pleasant to designed.
Swimming pool
An experience it is during the midday heat a dip in the swimming pool to take, while hundred meters distance buffalo, elephants and giraffes past draw.
Small Tools
Hats for protection against the sun, hot water bottles in the evening in the bed and in the cool morning hours in the vehicles, wines spirits and drinks any kind in the sundowner and so on - anytime again with small extras and touches surprised.
Animal observation
During a stay in the Mara Bushtops it is not a rarity, the 'big five', elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo, to meet. But also Gnus, Zebras, cheetah, Giraffes, different antelopes and Gazellenarten, hippos, hyenas and jackals, just to name a few, are definitely during the pirschfahrten in the Conservancy or just 20 minutes away national reserve to see. Offered completely and Halbtagesfahrten, on request with a gorgeous breakfast or lunch out.
I used my stay too many Tierbeobachtungsfahrten in the national reserve and in the Mara Bushtops Conservancy and swept every day with lots of new impressions and experiences into the camp back. 26 different species of mammals have been in Mara Bushtops Conservancy counted. The 27. Animal species joined during my stay added. A pack of 23 very rare African hunting dogs. This meeting was the absolute highlight my safari. Like me from camp -manager said, this is a small sensation right, because Wildhunde were 3 years in Masai Mara been sighted. A large advantage for the guests the camps is the possibility, during the pirschfahrten in the Conservancy 'road' to drive. So we could the hunting dogs several hours across feldein consequences and their behavior watch.
At this point maybe I shouldn't further advantages of Mara Bushtops Conservancy compared to the neighboring national reserve name.
U. A. These are:
1. No campfremden Safarifahrzeuge
Pirschfahrten in the Conservancy are only to the rolling stock of the Mara Bushtops allowed. Accumulations of many vehicles, as very often in the national reserve, for example when Raubtiersichtung is the case, there are none.
2. Exits at night:
A especially experience it is, during a night drive to experience. Mara Bushtops has several vehicles with special site light, whose light of the animals as not disturbing felt, and with heat-picture cameras are fitted, which pictures on several monitors in the vehicle can be seen.
3. Safari on foot:
Very early in the morning we were on a hill dangers, in order to see the sunrise. After a further 'early morning tea/coffee' we followed our Masai Guide Nelson on foot by the beautiful Acacia-landscape. Nelson is a brilliant Explainer. His knowledge of the fauna and flora is enormous. No our questions about our experience has gone unanswered. To safety of the guests the hike of an armed ranger of wildlife departments, escorted. The walkabout ended with an unexpected surprise. A from camp -manager arranged extensive breakfast under a shady Schirmakazie arranged.
In short:
For a safari vacation in Kenya with highest expectations, I can Mara Bushtops Camp highly recommend. A stay from 4a 5 days is worth it, because of the moment, in which it beautiful tent referred to, you will not want to leave.
Warm thanks to all the staff of Mara Bushtops Camp for unforgettable days.

This was our second stay at the Mara Bush tops. The transportation situation to and from the hotel is very special. During our last stay as the 'lucky' only five of the twelve tents were full and just ten guests. During this visit was the camp was full (including families tent, which again as 13. Tent was added). At this full occupancy one noticed, that the service at its critical limit. The friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food, as well as the cleanliness was not affected. However, the attention and care of fulfilment was noticeably different ... compared to last year. Furthermore, were for five days were too long, as the 'program' from the third day repeated-is that, when we arrived in innovations that night game drive as was pointed, later despite request was not provided. Our impression was, that this straight into the program with others/departing guests fit. Bottom line, we would stay at this hotel again, but shorter (three-four days) and as long as we are able to exert an influence in a time where possible no full occupancy prevails. read more

Dear Andy and Claudia S.,
our congratulations!
We spend three wounderful days - so we do not have any suggestion to improve your camp:
All was perfectly organized and executed, with small details which make the guests happy!
The manager, M.G., is in all; the staff, witout exeption any, very friendly and upmost attentive, off cause to mention the guide and his scout, so without them it's difficult to experience a safari-trip. Off cause we can mention the attentive service of K.N. and his crew, Charles the Guide, but anyway, they ALL were in a friendly mood (we ... can refrain from putting you a complete listing of your own staff).
I enjoyed your chateaubriand/sauce bearnaise, and, off cause, the Mara red wine.
So it was low season (which we prefer), we think that M.G. and his staff were still more flexible in making all our wishes true.
Your manager speaks Spanish (which helps my wife to understand) and you have a new receptionist I was surprised about his good German knowledge.
Please, forward again our special thanks to the Mara Bushtops team.
We will try to come back, so we already got our son to accompany us, once in the future.
AND ADD HERE:
1st: I read a comment that the Bushtops are far from the park or the airstrip: not at all!
2nd:The flights Ukunda-Keekorok-Ukunda were absolutely ok. read more

This camp with good reason mara bush tops the name. The tents, the restaurant, the location, everything was perfect and the jeep's wonderful. The bush tops is probably the only camp the mara, which runs open jeeps that alone is a reason for your reservation. Each tent is always a butler contact person for one there is.
The food is a la carte and tasted excellent also, there were no meal or other constraints in the camp. The wine cellar, with its large selection left hardly anything to be desired.
A bush walk is also very recommendable.

The camp in all respects only with superlatives as unique, fantastic, etc. are described. We will continue our efforts, but still for an objective evaluation. Everyone in the camp was hard, the stay for the guests as pleasant and memorable as possible designed.
The flight from mombasa, with a stopover in amboseli national park, takes about two hours. David, our guide, we were greeted by chrissy Airs the trip with an excellent glass of chardonnay. After the meet, at this point, warm greetings to our Swiss traveling companions, we climbed our jeep and it was just once in game drive ... in the direction of camp. A word on the car. Mara bush camp was the best one of the very few camps, with open car, it has suffered a lot more. The cars are equipped with two to three seats and a row of two seats equipped. However, the seat is always available in other words you are a maximum of six.
Arrived in the camp, a warm welcome and all force Information held. Due to the hillside location of the camps, from the terraces of the twelve tents and the sunrise animals be enjoyed. There is also a lit waterhole, that attracts animals. In the luxurious and furnished tents are nothing that was missing. Indoor and outdoor shower with fluffy towels, two sinks, hair dryer, toilet, closet, desk, storage tables and a wonderful bed. The tent is open during the day, but at the late afternoon zugezippt by the staff. You should keep in mind concerning small creepy crawlies in the tent have, we can reassure, it was really clean, only from time to time we had a spider in a tent. Since the nights really quite cold is (we estimate about 10-12 degrees) and no heating in the tent are, of course, you can get a bottle of heat into the crib. From dark to you don't move without company in the camp. Each tent had a button you pressed, if you want to leave the tent. A few minutes later you will be accompanied by a masai to the desired location.
The existing pool refreshed after a game drive very-it is cold. If you don't like, you can take a dip in the hot hot tub on the terrace. Massages can enjoy free-on the terrace or in the tent, but with appointment.
The food was great. The al la carte dishes were always freshly prepared, that will naturally take time. The food is served in the room or on the terrace of the brick building only. At the campfire or fireplace you can finish off the day perfectly. At the Leaving the restaurant, you are the desired wake-up time for those following day known and you will probably be woken up with a cup of coffee or tea in the tent. The coffee and sweets in the lobby we must also positive to highlight.
To see animals is always a hit and miss, we have already the second day, much more than the big five to face as crocodiles, ostriches, hyenas, mongooses, gazelles, wildebeests, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and leopard and the almost always (except for the Krokos) at a distance of a few meters. Lunch at the all-day game drive has been lovingly in the middle of the boonies constructed and was very extensive.
The pool/game drive lit a bonfire in the bush. When considering the good glass of wine or what you want, you can get the last light of the day in a romantic mood enjoy.
Cell phone reception was given. You asked however, the device in the public areas not to use, which we thought was very, very good. The electricity supply is around the o'clock secured.
Tip: this camp is suitable for people, which are also in the wilderness for a certain luxury want. Absolutely sufficiently bring warm clothes, for both nights, as well as during the day on the prowl trips. Although the temperatures were very pleasant, is the fair wind very cool. As an objective for the camera we recommend a 'normal' focal length and with a telephoto (up to 400 millimeter), although sometimes closer to the shape of the animals than you might think. read more

at the this camp is a camp absolute great condition. Not one wish remained unfilfulled here. Absolute top and a fascinating wine cellar complete the whole.
From the front desk to check-out all timmt.
Very competent management that with every question helps and supports.
Especially we would like to thank our guide, david. Very competent and friendly. Every day was an experience. Each tent is absolutely gorgeous and in excellent condition. Especially the opened Bath is great. Fascinating if you sit in the evening on the terrace and take over. Giraffes, Elephants, Buffaloes. It is a dream.

We were completely satisfied!
We really liked, was that in the evening, want to see, what animals or which one the next day. Our game driver david and nelson were just great!
The food was always delicious and prepared with love!
Therefore, from the tent that you could not see the other, we felt, as if you alone in the wilderness.
The tents were clean and frederic, our personal butler, has prepared at the request of the 'hot tube', when we returned from the game. Very impressed I was also the hot water bottle in the evening in bed ☺! ...
All in all, you can recommend this camp and the animals also apply to border not just, as the camp out of the way. We have all seen animals, which we would have liked, even the rather rare antreffbare rhino!
If you are looking for luxury in the wilderness, this is the place! read more

Our safari with two nights at the mara bush camp shirts all has far exceeded our expectations!
We flew from the diani Airs trip in the masai mara and were already on the chrissy Airstrip with a refreshing welcome drink welcome! Afterwards it went on the way to the camp to the first game drive, our hearts are already left! Three cheetahs from the vicinity of the hotel, leopard, lion and many hoofed animals showed like to order! It should be better -we saw already on the first day the big five!
Mara bush camp the tops is located on ... the outskirts of the masai mara, Siana wildlife sanctuary in. The way to the gate designed amusing oneself, since it was on the way always something to see. The galician masai wave a friendly, wild animals, in immediate Vicinity of the camps.
Not enclosed camp himself has done, not only because of the luxurious ambience impression on us, there was also the at all times of the day and the very friendly and perfect service professional The staff in all areas.
The camp features a 24-hour electricity, in the tents. These are very spacious and functional designed. For a hundred meters² privacy you will find everything needed for an unforgettable stay with all the amenities-large, comfortable beds, Beach chairs on the terrace, a hot tub for relaxation after the safari, a telescope for exciting animal sightings of the Zeltterrasse from, a butler service, which was in the middle of the night is reliable.
The communal areas are decorated with care and with many african elements equipped, so that one nothing miss-but not want to leave!
The meals left nothing to be desired. At the Breakfast was a varied, delicious buffet with the other meals a la carte dinner. Birthday were surprised by the kitchen, in particular.
Our picnic lunch in the middle of the masai mara was in addition to the spectacular animal observations definitely a highlight. There was of course no snacks from cardboard boxes, but a lovingly appointed buffet with identical prepared Food, we at a table and chairs have taken labour. Even good chilled Wine rounded the picnic from.
The game drive we experienced in clean vehicles. Our guide and our Jaseph spotters (unfortunately I represent is the name) were animal allows stunning observations. I was impressed with the proper driving times to the nature. At no time was bombed, the nature in any form or animals have been harmed.
That even during the early morning we game drive with hot coffee, biscuits and other baker's wares were provided, has surprised us, of course-as well as the vehicle and found bottles-again.
The outside of the camps organized sundowner at the campfire will stay with us in our positive memory.
All special requests are in the mara bush camp tops, no problem. The very at short notice Booking a trip with a hot-air balloon was' on night' organized. It worked out great!
We have an unforgettable days a absolute luxury camp spent. We'll be back! read more

We have before booking this camps the prospectus for the quality of the beach travel guide our Organizer and loved it. Although we believe, in the brochure that certainly a little reality ' draufgepackt ' was. This opinion was reviewed when we arrived immediately and we loved the three days (despite night Game drive and relatively early to get up) more relaxed than many a beach holiday.
We are leaving in this year again. This time for five days. read more
