Celebrating 20 Years of Wild Luxury with Bushtops
Bushtops Safari Camps celebrates 20 years
“It was twenty years ago today…” Those familiar lyrics feel especially fitting as we mark a milestone with one of our most treasured partners: Bushtops Camps.
Back in 2006, Mara Bushtops opened its doors, setting a new benchmark in luxury safari hospitality. What began as a vision has grown into three exceptional camps—Mara Bushtops, Serengeti Bushtops, and Roving Bushtops—each delivering the signature Bushtops blend of authentic adventure paired with ultimate comfort.
Now, as Bushtops enters its third decade, they’ve unveiled a game-changing enhancement for every guest experience - and we are confident your guests will love it!
Exclusive Vehicles for Every Guest Group
To celebrate this milestone - In 2026, every non-solo booking at Bushtops will automatically include a private 4x4 game drive vehicle.
Couples, families, or small groups will enjoy the freedom of their own open-sided 4x4, without the need to request or pay extra.
This exclusivity applies to all new and existing bookings (excluding the 6x6 “Beest”).
Guests who previously paid for private use will have that premium recredited.
For those who prefer shared company, Bushtops will happily arrange like-minded pairings—but privacy is now the default.
(Note: airstrip transfers may remain shared, depending on operational requirements.)
What This Means for the Trade
This new policy gives you a powerful selling point:
Guaranteed exclusivity for your clients, enhancing both comfort and flexibility.
A clear differentiator when positioning Bushtops against other safari options.
Added value without added cost—making your proposals even more compelling.
To deliver this promise, Bushtops is expanding its bespoke fleet and welcoming new drivers and spotters into the family. From a team of just 20 in 2006, Bushtops now employs over 250 dedicated staff across its three camps—
This is why Bushtops continues to stand out: every detail is designed to elevate the guest journey, ensuring trade partners can confidently recommend them as the pinnacle of safari luxury.
