6 Days Amazing Tour with Bushtop
We did a 6 day tour in September covering Amboseli and Masai mara national parks. We used local flights between the two parks to save on long drive time which turned out a good call! Before the trip began Bushtop Kenya safaris gave us an in-depth itinerary of the entire week and were very responsive and prompt throughout our email correspondence.
In Amboseli, we had Tony as our guide and Patrick in Masai Mara and both of them were awesome. Their rich knowledge and networking skills with rangers and other guides really helped us identify some specific locations in the parks where we could find the wild animals we were looking for.
We had luxurious rooms reserved for us. They had great food on all days we spent there. During full day game drives, we had packed lunch boxes and plenty of bottled water along the journey. We were fed massively well!
We give Bushtop a 5 Star rating!

Our Lovely Holidays
My safari experience in Kenya was beyond my imagination! It was home in the wild and worth the money and time I spent on it.
I requested a quote from Bushtop Safaris and from my very first contact, Denis was extremely helpful and communicated professionally. He shared with us all the information and proposals necessary to propose our trip to our preference and budget via email with an unmatched treatment. They conformed to all our requests and requirements and proposed a dream trip, which we would also carry out on private tours throughout the trip.
We had both great tent and lodge as accommodations well equipped and the meals were delicious. Definitely, one of our highlights of our trip was our guide Tony, who made our whole trip more than memorable. He has amazing experience, knows so much not only about the animals but also about the country & culture. He also seems to know everyone everywhere and everyone knows him. Easy going, extremely professional, always in a good mood and very punctual. Not only does he have great personality, but also knows every single path in the parks by soul and can easily spot animals from a distance. I almost thought he had a super power when he noticed a leopard hiding on a tree from 1 mile away. Thank you sooo much, Tony!
Look no further- Bushtop Kenya Safaris and their team tops it all!

I would definitely book another tour with Bushtop Safaris
Spotting the BIG TWO during our game drive and also the giraffes, zebras, antelope, etc was the highlight of the tour. We saw lions and buffalos! We were unlucky since we didn't see leopard, rhino and elephants. We booked with Bushtop Safaris who sent us the itinerary immediately after payment. Our tour guide, Joseph picked us at the agreed time. He engaged us throughout the whole trip, educating us on the history of the park. During the game drive, he educated us about all the animals he spotted. From the giraffes, zebras, impalas, gazelles, different bird species, etc.
For anyone visiting Nairobi National Park, try to be there early in the morning to get a chance to see as many animals as possible and book with a credible tour company to get value for your money

Professional, Fun and Accomodative
The team kept updating us about our trip and the citing of the wildebeest migration.
Dennis kept checking on us all through the 4 days we were at the Mara. Great room booked and our information was sent to the hotel way ahead before checking in.
David our driver was well informed about the park and we got to witness the Wildebeest migration 2 days in a row.
Fantastic Masai Mara Tour
I had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Bushtop Kenya Safaris in December 2019. 3 days was a perfect amount of time for my wife and I - we got to see the BIG FIVE and lot of other wild animals. The staff is very knowledgeable and the best part was Denis who was helping us craft our trip, he was very responsive--usually emailing back within 10 minutes or less.
The tour guide/driver, Joseph, with whom we spent most of the time, was always punctual, professional and helpful. He is a good storyteller and shared his deep knowledge of the wildlife, geography and the Masai people of Mara, and answered our many questions patiently. We couldn't be more thrilled!! We definitely highly recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to go to Kenya safari. In fact, we can't wait to go back there soon again....
PS. I am surprised Bushtop safaris got so few reviews - they are the BEST in our book!

One of the best as have several safaris but this crowned it all.
All Excellent , We cannot say enough great things about our Safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania with this tour company. From the very first quick response email and detail to our customized trip, to our guides (both Samuel & Santos are awesome!)
My wife and I traveled to East Africa in June 2019 and we had the chance to live the essence of Africa - its beautiful and different landscapes, its amazing wildlife species and its different cultural people. We did a 10 ten day safari covering Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Amboseli National Parks. The accommodation options throughout the safari which were a mixture of lodges and tented camps suggested by Denis turned out to be excellent and unique in their own way and their food first class.
Our Kenya-based driver, Samuel stayed with us for 5 nights throughout the Kenya portion. As a guide he was very reliable, knowledgeable & friendly. Santos, our Tanzania driver (subcontracted by a Tanzanian operator) was super excellent and equally made our safari interesting.
Overall we were highly satisfied with Bushtop Safaris, they genuinely tried to make us have a great time. We certainly would recommend Bushtop Kenya Safaris any day any time!

A MOVED BUT BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY
For the first time with this agency on a trip through Kenya. Everything was arranged nicely, although due to circumstances that the agency could not really do much about, we had bad luck with the guide. But you make your own journey and we have had wonderful moments. the lodges were beautiful! The communication with the agency was very smooth and open and if there were any problems they were solved quickly and efficiently. We are also planning a next trip with Bushtop! We saw many animals, visited DSWT in Nairobi and Tsavo. Our trip ended in Mombasa to wash all the dust off and rest. We Love Kenya!

unforgettable Amboseli Experience!
My daughter and I went on a 3 day safari organised by Denis of Bushtop Safaris to Amboseli national Park. The tented camp was glamorous, clean good food and the best views of Mt Kilimanjaro!
Our driver Francis was polite, well mannered and knowledgeable, he made sure we saw lots of animals and was always punctual and picked us up on time for our game drives. I couldn’t praise him enough.
Thank you Denis for organising such an exceptional safari for us, it was an amazing experience. I would recommend Bushtop Safaris to any planning to visit Kenya.

Wonderful family holiday
My three days Masai Mara safari with Bushtop Kenya Safaris was very nice, our guide David was exceptional! His driving skills were amazing, he was consistently kind, courteous and caring in regards to our levels of comfort and engagement. We were also fortunate to have a perfect weather (no rains as earlier expected), a beautiful campsite (Basecamp), where the staff were welcoming and very accommodating.We really loved this 3 days trip and thank Denis and David for having made this unforgettable Safari trip come true for us!

An unforgettable safari adventure
We were a group of four friends from US and were looking for a wildlife safari covering major parks in Kenya. We sent inquiry emails to a couple of different agents (both big fish and small ones). We all eventually narrowed down to Bushtop Kenya Safaris! This was the best memorable holiday we ever had. Denis is an absolute gentleman who clearly loves his work and displays a considerable amount of care and attention for all his customers to ensure total satisfaction. Our guide David was just beyond superb with eyes like an eagle and very knowledgeable in animal life and where to go to get the fantastic pics of the wildlife. In Masai Mara he quietly drove in search of the elusive leopard and even when sightings came through on the radio (in Swahili so we couldn’t understand) he would keep them to himself to avoid me getting my hopes up but rush to the area. Our accommodations at the Sarova Mara Camp were amazing! The tents were clean, spacious and comfortable and everything we needed was provided (toiletries, flash light, extra blankets, umbrella). The buffet was incredible and the additional cost for drinks was very reasonable!It was obvious from very early on that we chose the right company for our safari to Kenya. I can't recommend Bushtop Kenya Safaris enough!
