Governors’ Camp Mara
Governors’ Camp Mara
Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with birdlife, hippo, and crocodile, in the heart of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. Created in 1972, Governors’ Camp set new standards in luxury for a tented camp. Today, it’s still considered one of Africa’s best.
Governors’ Camp was the first permanent tented camp in the Masai Mara and it occupies the best wildlife viewing location in the National Park. The location of the camp was considered so good that during colonial times it was reserved for the colonial Governors of Kenya, hence the name Governors’ Camp.
Today, the camp enjoys the same prime location and is perfect for couples, families, and friends wanting to experience the best of what a safari in the Masai Mara has to offer.
The entire camp is under canvas with all of the comforts of a luxury hotel. Some of the 37 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest and enjoying uninterrupted views over the Mara River. Others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. The tents are big, bright, and allow in lots of natural light.
All tents are classic safari style, each with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah. There is a bar tent with a deck overlooking the Mara River and a dining tent with views over the plains. Please also be sure to enquire about the Spa tent which offers a range of treatments including facials, massages, manicures, and pedicures.
