About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S2695YB_0 contributionsFantastic 6-Day Kenya Safari Tour(Amboseli-Masai Mara-Nakuru) with reliable and competent staff!My safari trip to Kenya with Bushtop was an unforgettable experience. When I first planned the safari trip and requested quotes from several safari tour operators, Denis of Bushtop provided the most reasonable quote while fully reflecting my needs. As my travel schedule, transportation, and accommodation requirements changed, he perfectly adjusted the safari tour itinerary to meet my needs When I contracted with Bushtop, the accommodations I wanted were already fully booked, so I had to be on a waiting list. However, Denis skillfully and persistently worked until the end to ensure that I could stay at my desired accommodations in Amboseli(Serena), Masai Mara(Serena), and Nakuru(The Cliff). All three accommodations were satisfactory in every aspect. What made my trip most special were the passionate, cheerful, and professional guides from Bushtop. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jesse (in Amboseli) and James (in Masai Mara). They ensured that we could fully enjoy the safari tour throughout the trip, doing their utmost to help us see more animals, have more experiences, enjoy more, and feel more. We were especially touched by their care and dedication in using the simplest words, speaking slowly, and repeating explanations several times for us, who are not proficient in English. When parting with them, I felt the sadness of saying goodbye to old friends, and if I ever return to Kenya, I will definitely meet them again The most challenging part of planning a safari trip to Kenya is having to contact local tour operators only online, make a contract, and pay a substantial deposit in advance. I also made a reservation and paid the deposit about eight months in advance, and I was worried whether the tour would proceed as planned without any issues. However, now that the trip is over, I can say with certainty that Bushtop and Dennis are truly reliable, and you will never regret entrusting them with your plans. Every detail was perfectly prepared throughout the trip, and everything proceeded without any problems. If I go to Kenya again, I will definitely choose Bushtop again, and I can confidently recommend them to people around me.Written August 14, 2024
- ihort9820 contributionsGreat tour provider - definitely recommendIt was a great experience dealing with Bushtop Kenya Safaris. From the booking stage when tour manager Denis came up with a well-planned programme meeting all my requests and facilitated at each stage; to the game rides themselves where James (the driver) managed to get me into the elephant orphanage and to find all the animals I wanted to see: I saw 5 lions on 1 day, which is very rare. James was also helpful at all stages and it was pleasure talking with him as he told many interesting facts about the animals and Kenya. Definitely recommend this tour provider!Written June 28, 2024
- Daydream063544291800 contributionsPerfect SafariThe trip was amazing, and our guides Shem and Joe were very knowledgable and made sure we had a fantastic safari. The process of booking the safari with Denis was all very smooth, with no issues at all. All of the accommodation was brilliant, and very reasonable, and we would absolutely be interested in using Bushtop Safaris again.Written March 19, 2024
- fatts20150 contributionsMemorable experienceWe booked the tour in January 2024 with Denis to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Navaisha. He handled all inquiry profesionally despite to our last minute request. Our hotels are comfortable and the service was excellent. Our guide James was very professional and he made sure thay we get the maximum experience during the safari tour. We had good times and definitely recommend their service. Thank you.Written February 21, 2024
- linkenn20240 contributionsHighly recommendedWe, a family of four, had a great visit to Diani beach, East and West Tsavo and to Nairobi arranged by Bushtop Kenya Safaris. Denis was very responsive and helpful from the very start of planning of the trip and during the whole visit. We were very happy with the recommendations they made for us. The hotels and lodges were great and catered to our family’s needs. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and helped us have the best experience during our safari. I can highly recommend Bushtop Kenya Safaris to others.Written February 10, 2024
- Companion670970700540 contributionsBlown away - highly recommendWe did a 6-day safari, starting in Amboseli, then Naivasha (boat trip and Crescent Island walk), Nakuru and finally 2 days in the Masai Mara. Bushtop were amazing from start to finish - booking was very smooth, and Denis was very helpful adapting the trip to our wishes. James, our guide, was amazing - very knowledgeable and informative about the animals, with a great instinct for tracking them down as well as some exceptional moments with them (lions hunting twice, for example, plus 2 leopards, which is unusual). He’s very professional, always made us feel safe and at ease. This is my fourth safari (including a few months working in a camp in SA) and I was blown away.Written February 9, 2024
- samuelfG5045BN0 contributionsAsante sanaCommunication with Bushtop Safaris went very well. Once we arrived in Nairobi, our guide Henry was waiting for us on time. The days at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara were very eventful. Henry is a very good driver, knows a lot about the animals and landscapes and was always in a good mood. The pick-up in the morning went very smoothly. We would book with Bushtop again on our next trip.Written November 3, 2023
- victorp4560 contributionsLovely Kenya AdventureWe contacted Denis in Bushtop Kenya Safaris for a 4 day Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara adventure more than 6 months ago. Denis was very quick to answer all queries. The organisation of the trip was seamless from money transfer to accommodation arrangement. The safari took place in mid October. We were very pleased with our Driver Peter, a very experienced guide and a safe driver. We saw all 'Big 5' and more, during the trip. Overall, we are 100% happy with Bushtop Safaris and hope to be back for future adventure in Kenya and beyond. A big thank you to Peter and Denis!!Written October 30, 2023
- 642spencerl0 contributionsI will definitely choose Bushtop again when I come back to Africa!I feel very lucky to choose Denis and Bushtop Kenya Safaris Agency as my travel partner in Kenya. I will strongly recommend it to all of my friends who are going to Kenya and Tanzania, and also I am willing to choose it again if I come back to Africa again. I will show what amazing job Denis and his team do to you: 1) Always fast response: I tried to contact 3-4 agencies and asked for the proposal and quotation based on my customized needs. Denis is always the one with quick response and carefully listening to my requests and providing the updated proposal within 24hrs. This momentum did not only shows in the beginning of business seizing, but also last to the last day when I left Nairobi and finished all the trips in Kenya. And also, you can also get fast response during your every-day trip in Safaris if you have any questions about it. I met with some problems in Samburu and contacted Denis immediately, I can feel he tried his best to make the trip smooth with great efforts and additional fees without charging me. Unexpected things always happen, but Denis and his teams will try their best to make the trip value for money and time. 2) Integrity and honest: We met some problems in the balance transfer that caused Denis didn’t receive the rest 50% payment until I landed in Nairobi and before I was going to take the flight to Amboseli, so I could only pay again by cash. After that, Denis finally received the payment transferred from my bank then immediately went to the bank to ask for the refunding in the same day. Although something inconvenienced caused, but I highly appreciate and respect the integrity of Denis! 3) Flexible and experienced driver: Bushtop hires their own drivers in each destination, so you can expect consistently and high-standard experience with their drivers. All the drivers I met are very experienced, easy-going and could response to your flexible needs. Just feel free to discuss with them about your needs and expectation. 4) Reasonable price: If you compare the quotation Denis offered with other travel Safari agencies, you will know what I mean.Written October 20, 2023
- hogwort4160 contributionsEnjoyable safari5 day Ol Pejeta/Nakuru/Mara safari booked off safaribookings.com. Clean, comfortable accommodation. Saw all bar one of the big 5 but game sometimes in the distance due to the vastness of the Mara plains. Friendly, competent driver who aimed to find animals we wanted to see. Toilet stops scheduled at curio shops where you were hassled to buy which wasn't so enjoyable. Good, clear communication with the owner both prior to booking and once the booking was confirmed. Other than that an enjoyable safari in a comfortable vehicle and at a reasonable price.Written June 26, 2023
- balu19518293530 contributionsAmazing amboselli and tsavo with bushtop safarisWe started planning our Kenya Safari trip few months back and we came across Bush Top Safaris through the Internet,I got in touch with Dennis and he was great! I got a Prompt & Timely Response from him every time.He was of great help throughout the planning of the trip. We were 3 families,a group 11 including kids. From the time we landed at the airport,we were very well taken care of. Dennis introduced us to our guides,James & Frank. They were amazing through out the whole trip,they have great knowledge about the wildlife,both very good drivers,good Communication,very cordial and flexible and Most importantly great at spotting the animals. We stayed at Amboseli & Tsavo The stay and food at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge was very good. Ashnil Aruba Lodge in Tsavo was also good,but the food could have been a little better The highlight of the whole trip was of course all the wildlife we spotted,it was so exciting for us to see all those animals,in such big numbers in their natural habitat. James and Frank went the extra mile to spot the animals. We spotted alot more than we had expected. To see the Pride of Lions at such close proximity. Herds of Elephants, Giraffe,Zebra,Impala,Gazelle, Flamingos,Hyena etc etc etc and the Biggest highlight was to spot the Leopard with a cub. On the whole we had a wonderful experience with Bush Top Safaris. We will surely recommend them to Everyone who plan to visit Kenya. Thankyou againWritten May 15, 2023

The Wildebeest migration is the most satisfying and adrenaline filled experience ever. We did 4 days, 3 nights at the Mara Serena and it was nothing short of Epic.
David our driver was well aware of the Mara and we got to experience the migration two days in a row. He was very professional and accommodating with all our requests.
Trip of a lifetime.

Spent 3 days in Nuguru National Park + Masai Mara as part of our private tour. The driver James did an excellent job from the moment of picking up at the airport, explaining and guiding us through the parks. Would definitely book again with Bushtop Kenya Safaris. Also the suggested lodges were very nice with great food and rooms. Please mind that during our time in November, the lodges (Sarova Lion hill Lodge & Ashnil Mara Camp) were very quiet, while we hoped to have a bit more going on and meet some other travellers at the bar in the evenings.
