Tucked away on the forested banks of the Mara River, Governors' Camp is located in a pristine spot of wilderness which is home to an incredible array of wildlife. Perfect for those seeking a down-to-earth safari experience, the comfortable tents at Governors' Camp are ideally situated for a remarkable Masai Mara experience. Begin the day with an early morning game drive, searching for Africa's legendary elephants, lions, and leopards or perhaps even witnessing the Great Migration from about mid-year.
Another unforgettable way to start the morning in the Masai Mara is with a hot-air balloon safari. A nature walk, guided by an experienced and qualified naturalist, will have you learning all about the environment, while a visit to one of the traditional Maasai villages will give you the chance to learn more about their fascinating culture.
All the guides at Governors' Camp have at least a silver qualification from the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association, making them among the most knowledgeable in the area. The camp's formidable site was established in 1972, making Governors' one of the oldest tented camps in Kenya.
Highlights
Activities
Situated in the Masai Mara National Reserve with views onto the open plains as well as onto the Mara River, Governors is a great option for a Masai Mara experience, in particular during the annual Migration!
Rooms
Superior Tent
Most of the camp’s luxury tents offer uninterrupted views over either the Mara River or the endless Masai Mara plains, both of which are a memorable sight to enjoy first thing in the morning. Each tent is spacious and comfortable and has an en suite bathroom with hot and cold running water and flush toilets. The water for your shower is heated by eco-friendly briquettes, part of the governor' commitment to conservation.
Family units are also available for groups or those traveling with young children. These tents are situated away from the river with large lawns for kids to play on.
Facilities
The bar tent opens out onto a spacious deck that overlooks the Mara River. Relax here, with your favorite drink in hand, and take in the sunset after your day of adventure. Hippos have been known to cross the lawn in the evening, toddling out of the river for a night's grazing.
Head to the spa tent for a range of treatments like massages, facials, body scrubs, manicures, and pedicures.
Dining
Both breakfast and lunch at Governors' Camp are served on the shady riverbank. After your early morning game drives, you will return to a breakfast buffet cooked over the coals and accompanied by hot croissants, fresh fruit, and freshly brewed Kenyan coffee.
Lunch is also buffet-style, this time featuring roast meats, fresh salads, and delicious desserts. Dinner is served in the candlelit dining tent and offers a stylish, 4-course meal, with a selection of main courses. After dinner, you can sip cocktails around a bonfire, and chat about your day's sightings.
