An Unforgettable African Adventure
As the sun spreads its first gentle rays in the African sky, casting long shadows across the sweeping plains of the savanna, an ancient rhythm pulses in the air. A primal instinct that has driven one of the world’s most incredible wildlife events for centuries: the Great Migration. For the upcoming months, this spectacle is in full swing, promising to be more awe-inspiring than ever before during your luxury African safari at Bushtops.
This year, nature has set the stage high. Swelled by abundant rain, the rivers present treacherous barriers to the migrating hordes. While these conditions pose a challenge to the determined herbivores, they offer the perfect hunting grounds for their predators, the patient and opportunistic crocodiles.
Millions of migrating animals surge through the bush on a quest for greener pastures. As has happened every year throughout history, they faithfully follow the path of the rains and the resulting grassy abundance, moving from Tanzania’s Serengeti into Kenya’s Masai Mara, and back again.
At Mara Bushtops and Serengeti Bushtops, our luxury safari camps, our guests find themselves in the midst of this extraordinary spectacle. Enjoy a front-row seat to the intense drama, where lions, hyenas, and all carnivores lie in wait, ready to intercept herds of floundering herbivores as they navigate the challenging currents of the Mara River.
In the coming months, the herds will be moving into the Masai Mara, then they will begin their return journey back into the Serengeti. Our expert rangers are adept at locating the massing herds and predicting where the river crossings will take place. Predicting these events is an art, not a science, and while certainty is elusive, our Bushtops guides boast a sixth sense for this river drama and a knack for avoiding the crowds.
From Serengeti Bushtops or Mara Bushtops, embrace the African rhythm as you are surrounded by rich wildlife from dawn to dusk. In Kenya, our private Conservancy spans a substantial 2,500 hectares, offering exclusive encounters. While in Tanzania, our camp is located on the migration corridor, offering unique sightings.
Experience this awe-inspiring natural spectacle for yourself, and make memories that will be etched in your heart forever. Embark on a safari holiday of a lifetime at Bushtops, into the raw and unspoiled heart of Africa.
