Governors' Camp

5 star5 star5 star5 star5 star

Governors’ Camp is Africa’s first permanent luxury 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, hippos and crocodiles. 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 24 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.

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

Family Tents (5 rooms)

Quad/Family

We are delighted to share an early preview of our new family-style accommodation at Governors' Camp (ready by the 1st of June this year). Shaded by riverine forest and offering spectacular views across the open plains, five spacious tents will replace the original eight with enhanced privacy and comfort. Two units are wheelchair friendly, with a ramp and supporting grab rails for guests with mobility challenges.

Each family tent features a (fixed) double bed on one side and a twin on the other, with the option to add a third single bed for larger groups. The twin room can also be converted into a double - perfect for two couples sharing. A central living area seamlessly connects the two bedrooms, while a wide verandah with outdoor furniture ensures you stay close to the action at all times. Please note that the interiors and colour scheme are for guideline purposes only.
