Roving Bushtops Camp
Moving between two locations in the vast Serengeti Plains, Roving Bushtops follows the Great Migration to ensure the best game viewing opportunities.
Roving Bushtops offers a flexible and immersive way to experience the Serengeti. The camp moves between two locations during the year, allowing guests to enjoy the best wildlife viewing based on migration patterns and seasonal changes. This approach provides access to a large part of the Serengeti ecosystem, one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in the world.
Each tent is housed in a specially designed mobile unit known as a Rover. This unique concept was created by Bushtops to bring together comfort, innovation, and a closer connection to nature. The camps are intentionally small, with as few as eight tents, creating a private and peaceful atmosphere for every guest.
The tents are designed to offer both comfort and seclusion, providing a relaxing retreat in the heart of the wilderness. Guests can enjoy the beauty of the Serengeti while staying in a space that feels both exclusive and welcoming.
Game drives are enhanced by The Beest, a custom built six wheel drive safari vehicle available only at Bushtops Camps in Tanzania. It combines strong performance with exceptional comfort, featuring spacious seating, personal fridges, a fully equipped kitchen, a bar, a shower, and even a large bed. This unique vehicle allows guests to explore the Serengeti in comfort while enjoying every moment of the journey.
