Amazing guide, organisation was flexible and responsive. Fair pricing
We spent 5 days in Kenya, going first to Lake Nakuru, then Lake Naivasha and spending the rest of our trip in the Maasai Mara with a stop by a Maasai village on our way back to Nairobi. Organising the tour (getting the quote and planning the itinerary) went well, Denis was responsive and accommodated all of our requests! Pricing is good and fair.
Our guide, James, was absolutely sensational and we strongly recommend him! He has immense knowledge on any animal that you will encounter. He was happy to thoroughly answer all of our questions (and we had many) about the wildlife but also the Maasai culture and the life in Kenya. He was also very flexible and happily accommodated a last minute request to change the planning of our last day. James is super friendly and always positive, hakuna matata! Finally, he is a smooth and skilled driver, both on the road and in the savanna!
The 4x4 was great, the roof opens up which allows clear 360 views. It’s comfortable and came with water and blankets! We recommend it compared to the minivan option, the Masai Mara can be muddy and treacherous - even with a 4x4 you can get stuck in the mud.
We stayed at the following hotels / camps:
- Egret Savanna Camp (previously Flamingo Hill Tented Camp) at Lake Nakuru - Good and clean tented accommodation, great buffet food, good amenities. They provided hot water bottles to warm up the bed which we greatly appreciated as the weather was rather cold on our first day!
- Taphe Resort at Lake Naivasha - We were very disappointed with this accommodation! The room, shower, towels and sheets were dirty. The food was not pleasant, both dinner and breakfast.
- Talek Bush Camp at Maasai Mara - We got the Safari House which is a room that sits just in front of the Talek river. This in particular was a highlight - from the room we were able to observe crocodiles, hippos, baboons and even a giraffe! However, we had many issues with the shower - at first no hot water, and once fixed we’d only have hot water if we set the water pressure to a very low setting. Otherwise the room was basic but clean, and the food was good.
Overall, this trip was magical and we highly recommend Bushtop, especially James!

Highly recommended tour operator. Very efficient booking process with individual approach to meet our needs and expectations. Denis who is in charge was extremely helpful and flexible. Our guide James was highly professional trying to show us as much as possible. We were lucky to have him as our guide. Our jeep 4x4 was very comfortable. The selection of hotels during safari was very accurate. The quality price relationship was very good. To sum up: Bushtop Safari is a highly recommended tour operator for safari experience.

Bushtop Kenya Safaris is Your Reliable & Trustworthy Tour Operator in Kenya
7-Day Nairobi, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara
We chose Bushtop over the others because they were the only tour operator that provided us with a very comprehensive and detailed itineraries among the few that we had initially approached. The Manager Denis is very courteous, responsive and always replied to our questions promptly. Big thanks to James too who was our driver cum tour guide during the safaris. He always kept the Land Cruiser in tip top condition and tried his very best to ensure that we didn’t miss out on anything. We get to see so many awesome animals except for the elusive leopard, but James had tried his best. The tented accommodations throughout the safaris were amazing. We loved all of them and the foods served at the accommodations were so delicious and had exceeded our expectations. Our biggest surprise was when we were upgraded to a 5-star accommodation during our 2-day stay in Masai Mara. Back to Nairobi, Charles took us around Nairobi for the city sights. We especially enjoyed our time at Giraffe Centre. On our last day, we had planned to have a relaxing day in Nairobi but due an incident that’s going to take place in CDB where our hotel was at, we were advised to leave the area early in the morning. As our flight was scheduled to depart at midnight, we contacted Denis again and within 10 minutes, he made arrangements for us to visit Fairview Coffee Estate with lunch. We spent a few hours of enjoyable time there and with some time to spare, Charles drove us to visit Karen Blixen Museum. After that we departed for the airport with happy memories of our holiday in Kenya. Thank you very much Bushtop Team ie Denis, James and Charles!

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.
