Roving Bushtops has moved to Kusini, our Winter location in the Southern Serengeti, where it has already been surrounded by huge herds (attracted by good and welcome rainfall). February 2021 was astoundingly good for witnessing the birthing season – and we’re looking at another bumper season in the first months of 2022, as new life emerges to be challenged by big cat predators.
Mara Bushtops in Kenya and Serengeti Bushtops in northern Tanzania had a November bonus from the migration, with herds doing a u-turn in response to bountiful rainfall. The wildebeest and their attendant zebra companions may have departed by now, but the vast majority of species don’t migrate, so wildlife around both camps is as rich and varied as ever.
Each Bushtops outpost is therefore a great option when your clients decide to travel. Take a look at the website to read our Covid safety protocols in detail, there are a few key facts for those who are already booked – or anyone ready to make their move.
• All our staff are fully vaccinated
• We remain flexible should your clients need to defer their stay, even at short notice
