Excellent communication , super knowledgeable guides and very friendly
We started planning our Kenya Safari trip few months back and we came across Bush Top Safaris through the Internet,I got in touch with Dennis and he was great!
I got a Prompt & Timely Response from him every time.He was of great help throughout the planning of the trip.
We were 3 families,a group 11 including kids.
From the time we landed at the airport,we were very well taken care of.
Dennis introduced us to our guides,James & Frank.
They were amazing through out the whole trip,they have great knowledge about the wildlife,both very good drivers,good Communication,very cordial and flexible and Most importantly great at spotting the animals.
We stayed at Amboseli & Tsavo
The stay and food at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge was very good.
Ashnil Aruba Lodge in Tsavo was also good,but the food could have been a little better
The highlight of the whole trip was of course all the wildlife we spotted,it was so exciting for us to see all those animals,in such big numbers in their natural habitat.
James and Frank went the extra mile to spot the animals.
We spotted alot more than we had expected.
To see the Pride of Lions at such close proximity.
Herds of Elephants, Giraffe,Zebra,Impala,Gazelle, Flamingos,Hyena etc etc etc and the Biggest highlight was to spot the Leopard with a cub.
On the whole we had a wonderful experience with Bush Top Safaris.
We will surely recommend them to Everyone who plan to visit Kenya.
Thankyou again

Amazing Every Step of the Way!
We booked a 6 day/5 night fly-in safari through Bushtop Safaris. From the very first email exchange with Denis, I was impressed with his thoughtful and quick responses. He worked to find us the type of safari we wanted that was still within our budget. We chose to visit both Samburu and the Masai Mara during our safari. Seeing two different parks with their own climates and unique animals is something I definitely recommend!
Everything went perfectly. Denis met us at our hotel in Nairobi, held our additional baggage while we were on the safari, had a driver take us to the airport and upon landing in Samburu, our private game driver, Duncan, was there and waiting for us. Duncan was awesome and made sure we spotted as many animals as possible and even found us lions on our last day! He also taught us fun and interesting facts about the animals (like that warthogs forget they are being chased and then stop to eat and then get eaten!).
After Samburu, we flew to the Masai Mara. Again, all the flights were easily coordinated and we just hopped a bush plane from Samburu to the Masai Mara. Our game driver in the Mara, Ben, was just as great as Duncan and he made sure we spotted the Big 5! I couldn't believe how close we got to the the lions there. It was amazing!
All details regarding the trip, including accommodations, were exactly as described. We absolutely loved Entim Camp, which Denis suggested for us! There were no hidden costs or fees at any point during our safari.
I can't recommend Denis and his company enough. I have already recommended him to several friends and would definitely book with him again in the future.

Amazing Service
Travelling to Kenya from the United Kingdom, my cousin and I were in search of a reputable supplier to cater for the safari portion of our holiday. From the moment we reached out to Denis at Bushtop Safaris we were impressed. The communication, information and hospitality was first rate. Nothing was too much trouble and Denis went way beyond his services in also supplying us with Covid related information and services.
Unfortunately, weeks after booking ,my cousin fell gravely ill and remains still in a coma. After communicating with Denis again about the situation ,he was so kind and sympathetic and arranged for us to have a refund on our deposit.
Make no mistake that actions like this are the true tests of character and ones that reputations should be based on. I applaud him and the team at Bushtop.
We are all praying that my cousin somehow recovers and we fulfil his dream of going to Kenya and on safari in Amboseli. Without doubt we will be reaching out to Bushtop Safaris to arrange this. And having worked in the travel industry for 27 years I would not hesitate to recommend them to my clients.

Fantastic safari, thanks to Bushtop planning, execution, and our luck
I just had a wonderful safari experience with my daughter (25) and her friend, organized through Bushtop Kenya. Every step clicked, as i’ll explain.
Tour manager Denis was very helpful, both proactive and responsive, when planning the tour that best suit us (and when we made some changes, he was flexible). He gave us several options with good descriptions, and very fair prices. In the end we chose a day at Lake Nakuru and 3 days at Masai Mara (minus travel) in luxurious lodges. I also added the optional extra programs of a Masai village visit and a hot-air balloon ride at dawn — both of which were great.
Early Saturday, Denis came to pick us up in Nairobi and handed us to the experienced guide and driver Tony, who turned out to be superb. Examples of this began on the first day: since the traffic was easy, Tony asked if we’d want to add a Lake Naiwasha boat ride to see hippos and the Crescent Island full of animals. Of course. It was a lovely start. Then the main drives we had at Lake Nakuru und Mara Triangle just kept getting better, while I thought every day that the trip must have peaked now. Btw, while the drives from&to Nairobi take some hours, the views — especially of Rift Valley — make them a pleasure. We did not spend much time in the luxury lodges but they too were great, with wonderful views from both. Yet, we had come for the drives. During the first three days, our guide managed to share with us so much natural beauty and wildlife big and small … everything we had hoped for. At every spot, he had an eye on where we could get best views and pictures. The crown came on the last day which was hardly just the drive back to Nairobi, as Tony’s path brought us to a lion family digesting a recent meal and then a leopard enjoying its meal. Truly exceptional — and ok, we also were lucky.
This is an easy five-star rating, earned at every step of the way. I’m only sorry that I am not allowed to offer a sixth one. Thank you, Bushtop, Denis and Tony!
Antti I.
