Enjoy two full days of game viewing activities at Serengeti Bushtops. No matter how long you stay with us at Serengeti Bushtops, we guarantee you will never run out of things to do.

A walking safari and bush breakfast is always fascinating, but you may prefer a break from the wildlife. A tour of a local school* provides an education (we’re never too old to learn), as does a visit to a traditional Kuria village*.
