Game Drive
Exploring our private Conservancy
At around 4pm, we like to explore our own Conservancy – the grounds surrounding Mara Bushtops. The cooling temperature brings out predators, so there is always a chance that you will encounter a kill, perhaps fought over by packs of hyenas, jackals and other scavengers. Whether luck is with you or not, we can guarantee sightings of at least some of the untamed creatures who roam these lands – each fully adapted to its wild surroundings.
Expect the unexpected
Sometimes nature’s dramas take place right in front of our camp, but an afternoon game drive takes us to the action rather than expecting it to come to us. Whether witnessing a life and death struggle or simply the stately progress of antelope, zebra and topis, each is juxtaposed against the impossible beauties of the African sunset. As nature’s ever-changing palette streaks the sky and landscape with orange, red and gold, this is about as good as life gets.
Anticipating Sunset
At the end of each afternoon’s drive, your guide will have planned ahead, stopping in good time to prepare sundowners. Choose from a selection of drinks, ease back in your chair and watch light shift to dark, heat give way to the chill, and another day at Mara Bushtops fade towards a close.
