From beautiful landscapes to nature at its most raw, each adventure is endlessly engaging – and uniquely memorable.

Serengeti Wildlife

‘Siringet’ is the Masai word for endless plains – and when you drive into the Serengeti, the name begins to make perfect sense. Timeless vistas and wide horizons are dotted with acacia and cut through with rivers, bordered by trees and bushes. Rock formations called kopjes provide shelter and rainwater, making them a favoured place for the lions, leopards and cheetahs who roam the Serengeti. The rocky hills, rivers and woodlands surrounding our camp host elephants and buffaloes, waterbucks and hippos, crocodiles and giraffes, eland and … well, the list goes on, whilst these resident animals stay close by.

Your safari hosts

The perfect safari demands bountiful wildlife, a great camp and brilliant hosts. On each game drive, that welcoming host is your driver and guide -a highly experienced, knowledgeable and fully qualified ranger. Seated at the back of each vehicle, a local Kuria tribesman uses binoculars, sharp eyes and unworldly powers of observation to detect movement, spoor and hidden animals. Quite how our rangers and spotters see so much remains a mystery–but it’s a skill greatly appreciated by our guests.

Bushtops Landcruisers

We are hugely proud of our pecially converted open Toyota 4×4 safari vehicles, which we designed ourselves, drawing on more than 100 years of African off-road driving experience. Each combines comfort with rugged reliability, whilst offering superb viewing lines. As a result we bring you as close to nature’s great dramas as possible, whilst remaining totally safe.

Wildebeest Migration

The greatest show on earth

The highpoint of the annual calendar in the Serengeti is undoubtedly the great migration. Vast wildebeest and zebra herds usually reach the northern Serengeti between June and November, though no power on earth can predict their movements with certainty! Whatever their paths, our prime location at Serengeti Bushtops lets us reach and follow this wonder of the natural world, doing all we canto get you a ringside seat.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our guide, Simon, and tracker, John, who could pick out the lion cub heads in the long grass at 200 yards. X-ray vision I guess!
