Five Bush Rovers offers a one of a kind experience where guest follow and sleep amongst the migration
Location: The Bush Rover is not tied to one location - and that's exactly the point. These are fully mobile safari suites, cleverly converted from Land Rovers, which move between carefully chosen private sites in the Serengeti and other key wildlife areas in Tanzania depending on the season. Whether its in Ndutu plains during calving season or the Mara River during the Great Migration, you're always in exactly the right place at the right time. This mobility means you avoid the crowds and enjoy wild, unspoilt location with front-row views of some of the most spectacular wildlife events in Africa - often with no other camp in sight.
Rooms: Each Bush Rover is a custom-built safari suite - an innovative, elevated room set on top of a fully functioning Land Rover. When parked, the vehicle transforms into a spacious tented bedroom with a solid floor, double or twin beds, and panoramic views from a private veranda. There is an en-suite bathroom with a hot shower and eco-flush loo, a dressing area, and thoughtful design touches that make it feel surprisingly comfortable given how remote it is. The tents are solar powered, and the overall feel is adventurous yet smart - like wild camping, but without having to rough it.
Amenities: While you won't find a spa or a swimming pool, The Bush Rover delivers an incredible well-executed mobile camp experience. Each small camp set-up includes a mess tent for dining, a bar area, and an open fire for drinks under the stars. Meals are prepared by an on-site chef and served with flair - freshly baked bread, cold drinks, and multi-course dinners that defy the remote surroundings. The service is attentive but low-key, with a small, experienced team who manage the logistics smoothly so you can simply enjoy the wilderness. It's intimate, atmospheric, and designed for people who want to feel genuinely close to nature without sacrificing comfort.
Activities: Game drives are the main focus, and this is where The Bush Rover really shines. The camp moves with the wildlife, so you're already where the action is - no long transfers or busy sightings. Drives are in private vehicles with expert guides who know the terrain inside out. Whether you're tracking predators, watching a wildebeest river crossing, or quietly observing a herd of elephants at dawn, the experience is immersive and unhurried. Because the camps are often placed in lightly used or private areas, sightings feel exclusive and personal. For photographers, it's particularly rewarding - you can stay out longer, adjust plans easily, and cous on the best light and moments.
Sustainability: The Bush Rover is built around the principles of low-impact, high-reward travel. The mobile design means there's no permanent footprint - when the camp moves, it leaves no trace behind. Solar power is used for lighting and charging, water is used sparingly, and all waste is carefully managed to protect the fragile environments in which the camp operates. The project also directly supports the Bush Rover Migration Foundation, which funds community and conservation initiatives, including local schools and anti-poaching work. It's a rare example of a truly innovative, low-footprint safari model that puts sustainability at the core of both its operations and its ethos.
