Mara Bushtops

Mara Bushtops has been designed to blend into its surroundings, minimizing the visual and environmental impact, whilst providing every comfort to guests. 12 spacious and fabulously appointed luxury tents (think of a 5-star hotel room, under canvas) can be found by following private paths from a shared space, to secluded havens of privacy and calm. Opening on three sides, the tents are named after the wildlife which can be seen wandering past the Camp. Bounded by more than a 1,000 square-feet of private wooden decking, each tent has its own hot tub on the deck, an outside shower, writing desk, dining table and telescope. All tents are equipped with a safe, hair dryer, 220v AC.

Leopard Suite
Overlooking Mara Bushtops’ famous salt lick and its wildlife, the suite’s central lounge connects two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. By adding a bed to each room, Leopard can accommodate a family of six in glorious style. The lounge is a shared space, ideal for an afternoon siesta, game or magic moment – inspired perhaps by the suite’s fireplace, floral display, wine wall and mini bar.
