Itinerary
Situated within the Masai Mara National Reserve proper, Governors’ Camp takes pride of place beside the winding banks of the Mara River where birds, hippos and crocodiles are among the tantalising sights to be seen. Governors’ Camp is nestled within a riverine forest where guests are given respite from the warm Kenyan climate and awarded once-in-a-lifetime glimpses of an untamed, wild natural ecosystem. Governors’ Camp is a magical setting where rustic comfort and unbridled beauty collide.
In the Masai Mara National Reserve, a lioness and her cub roam free across golden plains while antelope and wildebeest march through the Mara River, leaving nothing to the imagination and everything to the visual delights of Governors’ Camp guests.
With 30 tents placed along the riverbank, including 21 classic safari tents, 8 family tents and 1 safari suite, Governors’ Camp is an exclusive location with nothing but canvas to separate guests and the vast expanse of the Kenyan landscape. Hidden within the forest, each tent enjoys an uninterrupted view of the Mara River or the Mara bush. Light, bright and airy, tents at Governors’ Camp have private verandas that proudly display the landscape in its glory throughout all weathers and all seasons. All tents at Governors’ Camp are complete with en-suite bathrooms including a shower, basin, flush toilet and both hot and cold running water for your comfort.
Meal times at Governors’ Camp include continental and full English breakfast, alfresco lunches and a la carte dinners while picnics and packed meals are available for those heading out on excursions. Speciality bush meals are also available at an additional cost.
Awarded the Silver Eco Rating, Governors’ Camp offers a range of Cinnabar Green toiletries that are handmade in Kenya with natural ingredients to protect the surrounding environment. Products including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap and body lotion are refilled into reusable canisters to reduce plastic waste. Guests at Governors’ Camp are both welcomed and encouraged to use these products during their stay.
Governors’ Camp is complete with a luxury spa where massage, facial, body scrub, manicure and pedicure treatments are available for guests to enjoy after a day in the great African savannah. Above all else, Governors’ Camp is a welcome haven of comfort and exhilaration.
Within the heart of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Governors’ Camp has plenty of activities for guests to enjoy – not least, its unforgettable game drives. Commonly referred to as a safari of the senses, a Governors’ Camp game drive is the time for guests to spot Masai Mara’s plentiful year-round resident game. With three game drives on offer each day, guests can choose to depart from camp at sunrise, late morning or mid-afternoon for the opportunity to witness the sights and sounds of life within the great African expanse. All game drives are led by experienced and qualified guides. Equipped with first-hand, unparalleled knowledge of the reserve, Governors’ Camp guides will show guests around Masai Mara’s best locations for Big 5 spottings within an open-top, all-terrain, off-roading vehicle. Every game drive offers unrivalled game-viewing and photographic opportunities in one of the world’s most beautiful wildlife areas.
Governors’ Camp also offers hot-air balloon safaris (at an additional cost) over the Mara River, forests and open plains. Starting out on the adventure of a lifetime, guests leave camp just before dawn and depart in the balloon from a natural launch site near to base. A hot-air balloon safari is the ultimate way to spot a selection of Masai Mara’s most astounding animals and wildlife – all while enjoying the thrill of being suspended in a basket high above the ground. As the balloon lands, guests will toast their return to the ground with a champagne breakfast and more leisurely game viewing on the way back to camp.
Sunrise walking safaris are another great way to experience the raw beauty of the Masai Mara. Led by experienced guides, guests will be thrilled by the opportunity to get up close and personal with wildlife in their natural habitat. After a bright and early stroll around the reserve, guests will be delighted by a bush breakfast and a game drive back to camp, just in time for a delicious lunch.
All at Governors’ Camp are proud of their African heritage and guests are welcomed to take part in a camp-organized visit to the local villages. Governors’ Camp excursions include visits to local Maasai villages to connect with the residents and learn about the local culture, community and way of life.
