Governors' Camp

Masai Mara, Kenya

About Governors' Camp

Governors' Camp is situated in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve, nestled within a riparian forest along the winding Mara River. This classic tented camp maintains the spirit of the early explorers, with comfortable, canvas-sided tents providing an immersive experience of the bush. The camp’s location is legendary, offering prime access to the river crossings during the Great Migration. Wildlife is omnipresent here, with hippos residing in the river below and plains game often grazing near the tents. Guests benefit from the camp's long-standing reputation for professional guiding, ensuring high-quality game drives across the surrounding grasslands where lion, leopard, and cheetah sightings are consistently excellent throughout the year.
