Bushtops Safari Camps Unveils The Beest

Following years of dreaming, design and construction, this one-of-a-kind innovation combines cutting-edge engineering with unparalleled comfort, offering guests an extraordinary way to experience Africa’s wilderness.
The Ultimate Game Viewer
The Beest redefines luxury safaris with its 6×6 off-road capability, ensuring stability across the Serengeti’s most rugged terrain. Its open configuration maximizes panoramic views, while roll-down canvas sides adapt to weather conditions without compromising safety. Built with a high-tensile steel structure and roll cage, the vehicle prioritizes security without sacrificing style, featuring luxurious wood trim, mood lighting and premium carpeting.

Unmatched Comfort and Versatility
Guests enjoy extra-large heated seats, personal mini fridges, and power outlets, alongside a 4×2-metre built-in bed and pop-up roof tent for overnight stays at remote individual camp sites allocated within the National Park. A dedicated driver and ranger enable extended all-day game drives, while the built-in kitchen and high-pressure shower ensure self-sufficiency in the wild. For those seeking the pinnacle of adventure, pairing the Beest with Bushtops’ exclusive mobile camp, Roving Bushtops, which is relocating to its new home in the northern Serengeti on 1 June, adds luxury to limitless exploration.
Exclusive Access
Available as an exclusive, optional add-on for guests at either Serengeti Bushtops or Roving Bushtops, the Beest complements Bushtops’ existing fleet of open-sided Toyota 4x4s and luxury tented suites. With 2025 rates starting at $1,090 per person per night for accommodations, The Beest will elevate the already exceptional offerings at these 5-star safari camps, including year-round Big Five sightings and front row seats to the Great Migration.
“The Beest is a testament to our commitment to innovation and guest experience,” says Claudia Stuart, co-owner of Bushtops. “From its heated VIP seating to its off-grid capabilities, every detail has been crafted to immerse travellers in the wonders of the Serengeti in absolute style and comfort.”
