The camp is located right in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Masai Mara. There are 17 ‘classic safari tents’ (twins and doubles), all facing on to the Mara River. The tents are big, bright and allow in lots of natural light. All the tents have been designed in the classic safari style, each with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah.

We have 8 family tents at Governors’ Camp, all of these overlook the iconic plains of the Masai Mara. The family tents are the same as our classic safari tents except the family tents have an extra children’s bedroom area on the front of the tent. There is a main sleeping area behind this and an ensuite bathroom with a shower at the back of the tent. There is also a private verandah overlooking the plains.

Perched on a bend of the Mara River, this is a lovely suite for honeymooners.

Five of our classic safari tents have ramps for wheel chair access. The flooring inside the tents is level and the tents are spacious enough to be able to manoeuvre a wheelchair around comfortably.

One tent has both a ramp and a specially modified bathroom to offer complete bathroom assistance.

Governors’ Camp properties combine the best locations in the Masai Mara with the best-designed vehicles and exceptionally highly trained and experienced guides to give our clients un-matched game-viewing and photographic opportunities in the world’s prime wildlife area. We are in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Masai Mara Our vehicles are custom built 4 wheel drive landrovers. We take you out twice a day into the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve and surrounding areas. Our driver-guides are hand-picked and nurtured by us. They undergo a continuous guide training scheme mentored by experts in the field. Having operated in the Masai Mara for 50 years, our driver-guides have an un-paralleled knowledge of the reserve combined with a deep understanding and respect for the importance of this wilderness area, its flora and its fauna.

For those looking for an adventure of a different kind, we suggest a magical hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara.

The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a launch site behind Little Governors’ Camp. Guests assemble at the launch site for a briefing as the flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. As the dawn breaks, the hot air balloon fills and then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.

What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness – the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara.

After about an hour or so, your balloon safari finishes with a flourish. In the time-honoured tradition of balloon flights the world over, toast your return to earth with sparkling wine and enjoy a delicious breakfast that is set up and served at a very special spot. The experience ends with a game drive back to your camp.

For a very unique experience, enjoy the excitement of a bush dinner in the wild.

You will arrive at a special secluded location on the banks of the Mara river. A welcoming drink awaits by the warming campfire, followed by a delicious meal prepared by our Bush chefs, served under the stars, with the soft lights of safari lanterns and accompanied by the sounds of the African night and the grunting Mara river hippos.

Bush dinners are a non-inclusive activity. You can book these in advance or while staying with us. Bush breakfasts are also available.
