What to Expect on a Masai Mara Game Drive

Embarking on a Masai Mara game drive offers one of the most iconic safari experiences in Africa. Located in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve and surrounding private conservancies, Governors’ Camp Collection provides privileged access to some of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich terrain.

Abundant Wildlife in a World-Famous Landscape

The Masai Mara is home to the legendary Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and countless antelope species. Guests regularly witness dramatic predator-prey interactions and seasonal migrations, including the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration (July–October).

Daily Game Drives with Expert Guides

Governors’ offers twice-daily game drives, in the early morning and late afternoon, when wildlife activity is at its peak. You’ll be guided by experienced safari guides who provide deep insight into animal behaviours, ecosystems, and conservation efforts. Their skill in tracking and positioning ensures unforgettable sightings on every game drive in Masai Mara.

Comfortable, Customised Safari Vehicles

Your adventure takes place in open-sided 4WD Land Rovers, designed for comfort, panoramic views, and optimal photography angles.

Optional Packed Breakfasts & Extended Drives

Want to stay out longer? Enjoy a packed breakfast in the bush or take a picnic out, arranged by the camp’s team at a beautiful location, so you can extend your morning game drive without returning early.

A Personalised and Ethical Safari Experience

Governors’ Camp is committed to low-impact tourism and supports wildlife conservation in the Masai Mara. With a strong presence in the region for over 50 years, the team ensures each Masai Mara safari is not just immersive but also meaningful.
