Enjoy Excellent Game Viewing At Mara Governors Camp

One of the oldest camps in the Mara, placed on a thickly forested meander of the Mara River, Mara Governors Camp is also one of the biggest. This is really the main location of a giant camp split into 3 neighboring sites, consisting of this the main Governors camp, Little Governors and Governors Il Moran camps, all clustered around the river in the northwest corner of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The name refers to the site supposedly being favored by the colonial governors of Kenya.

The location of Governors’ Camp is invincible, with excellent game-viewing around the Musiara Marsh. The popularity of the area means that you rarely have those special moments to yourself – but if you can forgive this, and are comfortable with formal times for meals and drives, then Governors’ is worth considering.

This time-honored camp is unfenced so grazing animals often pass through. Guides will be on hand to guide you to & from your tent after dark! There is an open-sided bar tent with views over the Mara River & a restaurant tent for candlelit dinners. Breakfast & lunch buffets are catered al fresco and the campfire is lit at sunset. You will be allocated an expert driver/guide who you will get to know during your game drives and who’ll know the very best places to spot wildlife, seeking out the likes of lion & leopard. They even know all the local lion by name. Governors’ also has an eco-friendly ethos that includes a 'zero waste' policy and a 40-year long commitment to local communities.

You will spend some memorable nights under canvas here. On going to bed you will find a hot water bottle waiting for you, and each morning before your first game drive there’ll be a welcome hot drink brought to your tent to ease you into the day.
