Governors Camp
My Safari
Governors Camp nestles in the forest alongside the winding banks of the Mara River – its waters teeming with hippo and crocodile – in the heart of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Elephant and warthog may wander through camp and hippos come out of the river to graze at night.
There are 37 East African style luxury safari tents with double or twin beds, together with a special honeymoon suite. Some of the tents line the river bank whilst others have views over the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Each tent is well appointed with an en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and wash hand basin.
Guests enjoy meals in a central dining area where breakfast and lunch are served buffet style. Dinner in the evening is eaten by candlelight. The decked bar is right on the river’s edge, the perfect spot to unwind whilst watching wallowing hippos and crocodiles.
On offer here are game drives, walking safaris and hot air balloon safaris. Excursions to Lake Victoria and visits to Mara Rianta school or to a Maasai village can also be arranged.
The only way to get truly acquainted with the African bush is to see it on foot. Walking safaris offer a unique insight into an amazing habitat.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
The main attraction of most safaris is the wildlife - find out what to expect here.

The annual Wildebeest Migration must be one of Africa's most iconic sights and experiences, whether viewed in Tanzania or here in Kenya.
