Governors' Camp

5 star5 star5 star5 star5 star

Governors’ Camp is Africa’s first permanent tented camp, remaining in its original site since 1972. It occupies the best wildlife viewing location in the Reserve, nestled in the riverine forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with bird-life, hippo and crocodile. It 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 25 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest they enjoy 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 deck overlooking the Mara River and dinning tent with views over the plains. Please also be sure to enquire about our spa tent which offers a range of treatments including facials, massages, manicures and pedicures.

Governors’ Camp has been awarded a GOLD Eco Rating from Eco – Tourism Kenya due to our sustainable tourism practices in place in camp.

Rooms

Classic safari tents (16 rooms)

The camp is located right in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Masai Mara. There are 16 'classic safari tents' (twins and doubles), all facing on to the Mara River. The tents are big, bright and allow in lots of natural light. All the tents have been designed in the classic safari style, each with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah.

Family Tents (8 rooms)

We have 8 family tents at Governors' Camp, all of these overlook the iconic plains of the Masai Mara. The family tents are the same as our classic safari tents except the family tents have an extra children's bedroom area on the front of the tent. There is a main sleeping area behind this and an ensuite bathroom with a shower at the back of the tent. There is also a private verandah overlooking the plains.

Justus Suite (1 room)

Perched on a bend of the Mara River, this is a lovely suite for honeymooners.

Wheel chair and disability friendly tents (6 rooms)

Five of our classic safari tents have ramps for wheel chair access. The flooring inside the tents is level and the tents are spacious enough to be able to manoeuvre a wheelchair around comfortably.

One tent has both a ramp and a specially modified bathroom to offer complete bathroom assistance.
