There are new-look suites at both Mara Bushtops in Kenya and Serengeti Bushtops in Tanzania
The camp’s pre-existing family tent, the Leopard Suite, has been given a complete interior overhaul, whilst the Rhino Suite is a brand-new addition to meet the increasing demand.
Both family-friendly tents can accommodate up to six people (or simply provide a couple with acres of extra room), with a pair of private tents with their own ensuite bathrooms, linked by a chic interior lounge, complete with a well-stocked mini bar and coffee machine.
The tents are identical in design and overlook a busy wildlife corridor which leads from the surrounding hills down to the popular salt lick, ensuring fabulous game viewing.
Designed by Andrin Schweizer, the genius behind so much of the Bushtops look and feel, the family tents are also adjacent to the solar heated pool and facilities of the Amani Spa and feature a private hot tub on the generous deck, a stone dining table, a sunken lounge and private fireplace.
Schweizer has just completely remodelled the interiors at Serengeti Bushtops in Tanzania, creating stylish, five-star suites under canvas that embody the “wild luxury” experience that is so synonymous with Bushtops.
The redesigned suites now feature elegant new furniture and matching softs, with ceiling fans and subtle-lighting lanterns and generously stocked mini bars. Hand-cut slate from a local quarry has contributed dramatically to the revamped, upgraded bathrooms.
The camp also now offers four buggies, allowing guests to be shuttled with ease and speed between their suites and public areas, like mini safaris. Of course, nothing matches a proper game drive expedition in our open-sided Toyota 4x4s, but these buggies are always a big hit with guests.
