We spent 5 days at Mara Bush Houses in 2018. What can I say?
Food - magnificent.
Guides (Dickson and Martin) - extraordinary.
Accommodation - second to none.
Staff - outstanding.
Safari experience - superb.
I can't say enough good things about this trip. We saw all of the Big Five and much much more. Dickson and Martin are so knowledgeable, hospitable and were incredibly kind to our children (who still talk of them regularly).They taught them Swahili, played games with them and shared their vast knowledge of animals, plants, culture. Our service was first-class; we felt like it was home from home. The lodges are quite remote so there are very few other tourists around. Beds are comfortable, pool is perfect, watering-hole is fascinating. We could have sat on the terrace all day watching the animals come and go as the monkeys leapt around us! Watching a cheetah roam across the plain from the back of the jeep with a cold beer in your hand is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you all so very much for making our safari experience so incredibly special.

Hello,

We are so glad this trip is still spoken of and that the memories are such great ones. Thank you for posting your wonderful review of your family safari. We hope the children are still practising their Swahili!

It's very special to know that this was a beautifully memorable time and we do hope we will be seeing you all back here again soon. It would be a pleasure to offer you another home from home safari.

Warmest regards from Africa,
The Mara Bush Houses Team

Leaders in sustainability. The location is one of a kind, overlooking a waterhole that’s 100m away. Delicious food, suited to our dietary req. Best staff ever: hardworking, sincere, and great to talk to!

The most amazing holiday ever! Thank you Martin and the team. For the most phenomenal experience! Isaac.. we are all missing the food and the detailed attention to all our dietary needs! Johnson and Solomon.. thank you for everything! And everyone else working behind the scenes to make sure that we were well looked after! To look out and see the zebras and gazelles strolling.. to almost touch the lionsess and the cheetahs.. the elephant herds and all those wildlife stories. It’s like a dream now!

A group of 6 of us stayed at Topi House and it was an amazing experience. The staff could not have done more to make our stay any better. From the moment we landed at the airstrip Martin was a friendly, informative and energetic presence on our tours and had amazing knowledge of the Mara and all the animals. The staff at the house provided a great service with fantastic food and hospitality. The house itself far exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend the business for anyone looking for a safari of a lifetime

Mara House is outstanding. Food was great and service was attentive. Setting included a pond, frequented by wildlife, including a family of 6 elephants, gazelles, warthogs, etc. Pool was great for the children. Make sure to relax by the pool and watch the wildlife.
