About the camp

Nestled in a riverine forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, Governors’ Camp may have the best wildlife viewing location in the Masai Mara National Reserve. It is perfect for couples, families, and friends who want to enjoy a traditional safari experience in the heart of the action.

The entire camp is under canvas. Our classic safari tents overlook the Mara River, while the five family tents offer breathtaking views across the open plains. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah. There is also a bar tent with a deck overlooking the Mara River and a dining tent with fantastic views over the plains.

Our spa tent offers a range of massages using 100% natural products by The Wild Herb Company. Please take a look at the treatment list here.

Eco-Tourism Kenya has awarded Governors’ Camp a GOLD rating for its sustainability efforts and environmentally friendly practices.
