All-round excellent short safari with a super guide
Dear James (our guide), Dear Denis, Dear Bushtop-Team,
Even if our Safari (Pick-up in Nairobi, two days Amboseli, two days Tsavo West), is already some weeks ago, we are still or even more super happy about this experience. Communication, organization, camps, driving&game-drives and especially James knowledge were super nice. James is not only a super friendly guide, great driver, human being, but also a walking encyclopaedia. He stopped for the smallest plants&beetles and knew so much about those (but also we were amazed of this - for people not interested in he for sure wouldn't be so much into the small things). The only thing that put a damper on an otherwise well-rounded and great experience was the tip issue at the end (James demanded more than we had set for ourselves and after research and we couldn't afford as a young couple, spoke of ‘previously communicated tip rates through Bushtop’ - which wasn't the case...). Apart from that, I can only continue to enthuse and would recommend James and Bushtop at any time!

Bushtop Kenya Safaris
We initially booked this tour with Viator the day before and was surprised to see that we could get into the elephant orphanage (it normally takes two days notice). About an hour after booking, Denis from the tour provider, Bushtop Kenya Safaris, contacted me. He said that due to the lateness of our booking (our fault), he could not get us into the orphanage and suggested we cancel with viator and book just the national park with his company. The main reason we booked the tour was to visit the orphanage. When we canceled with viator, they canceled our tour but Viator refused to give us our money back because we canceled. Denis had contacted viator and explained all of this to them on our behalf with no resolution. Denis somehow managed to arrange three tickets for us to the orphanage. He did not need to do this nor did we expect such effort, and it was amazing that he went above and beyond. The next morning, Henry, our driver, picked us up and we had a personal driver for the entire morning through the national park and then onto the orphanage. Needless to say, Denis came through for us and Henry was a great driver and guide. I can highly recommend Bushtop Kenya Safaris.

Outstanding
I took the 5 day Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboselli game park safari from Diani Beach with Bushtop Kenya Safaris.
Everything was excellent. Julius the driver/guide was very safe and cautious and I never worried. The selection of hotels was 5 star and the food was excellent. We had 3 game drives every day. I liked the pop-up roof on the Land Rover. I saw all the animals I expected. Lots of elephants and zebras. Saw cheetah and lions. I contacted Bushtop safaris to book the tour two years ago. Unfortunately circumstances changed and I had to go solo but Denis honoured the original price and itinerary.
Overall it was an outstanding and enjoyable safari.
Much more luxurious than the one I had taken 43 years ago.
Amazing start to finish
We have just arrived back from a 5 day safari booked through Bushtop Kenya Safaris and wow what an incredible experience!
From the moment we started looking at booking this, Denis at Bushtop could not have been more helpful. We received quick responses to all our enquiries and did not feel pressured into booking with them at all (a few other companies had contacted me daily asking if I was booking with them). The communication was really clear throughout the process and I felt trusted in the team that they understood our requirements and they definitely delivered! They supported us in customising the packages so we got out of the trip what we wanted and at the best rate they could. They kept us really informed throughout making sure we knew who would be there to meet us on our first day etc and the whole transition felt so smooth.
Our safari date arrived and we met our amazing guide James. James especially is to thank for an incredible time throughout our trip - it truly was an amazing experience and we loved every minute. James was a pleasure throughout the whole experience, very helpful, knowledgeable, professional and welcoming. He was a fantastic tour guide from start to finish. He went above and beyond to make our trip, making sure we saw as much as we possibly could, ensuring we were comfortable throughout, provided us so much information about the Kenyan culture the wildlife etc. We are so thankful for his time on our 5 day trip - he is an asset to the company!
We stayed in 3 different lodges (Sarova Lion Hill, Naivasha Sopa Lodge and Mara Serena) and they were all perfect! Fantastic food and service, very welcoming staff, comfortable and clean rooms. The scenery from all 3 lodges was also beautiful. That’s Bushtop for securing us such wonderful accommodation throughout.
The thought that has gone into organising and ensuring the best experience from the clear communication throughout, comfort and cleanliness level of the vehicle, the standard of the lodges is very much appreciated.
We cannot thank you all enough for making this trip so memorable.
Fantastic! Putting together a great itinerary at a good price.
I had a really good booking experience.Denis was very prompt dealing with any questions and very thorough ensuring the itinerary met all our requirements.Our guide Henry was OUTSTANDING! He made the whole safari wonderful. He was a joy to be with, pleasant , good humoured,knowledgeable and accommodating. We would definitely love to have his services again.
Sopa Lodge in Amboseli Park was beautiful. Just how I hoped a safari lodge would be. The staff and accommodation were excellent.
I would unreservedly recommend the services of Bushtop Safaris to all my family,friends and colleagues. It was the best holiday my husband and I have ever had.Henry ensured that we saw a multitude of fantastic animals at extremely close quarters and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.We felt safe and privileged throughout our holiday. Our overall experience was the holiday of a lifetime and AMAZING.Thank you everyone who made this possible.
It was awesome and we will definitely be back for our 10th wedding anniversary.Hopefully to do the Masai Mara with Henry!
Louise & Mark Carlsson- Very satisfied customers!
