With a reputation for fantastic guiding, Oliver’s game drives take you to the heart of the action every time. Drives are offered twice daily in the cooler mornings and evenings. Most of our game drives make are in an open game-viewing vehicle – this lets you sit at different levels and gives everyone a ‘window’ seat. Our open vehicles have power points where you can recharge your devices, and are fitted with fridges to keep your drinks deliciously frosty. We do also have a closed game-viewing vehicle that may be used if available which is fitted with a cooler box for chilled beverages. Private vehicles are available at an additional cost. (Note that families with children under 12 must book a private game-viewing vehicle.)
There’s also the opportunity to see some of Tanzania’s famous ‘nightlife’, with unforgettable night drives permitted within Tarangire.
Walking is the absolute speciality of Oliver's Camp. The privilege of walking in these natural areas gives you an exhilarating feeling of adventure. Although you'll usually get close to large mammals such as elephant, giraffe, buffalo or even lion, walking safaris are very safe. The experienced guides at Oliver's Camp and an armed national park ranger will accompany you on every walk. Walking safaris can take an hour or a whole morning or afternoon.
You’ll find Oliver’s Camp in the remote south-eastern reaches of the Tarangire National Park. It’s perfect for families with a longing for adventure. Oliver’s Camp can accommodate a family of up to 4 with children 5 years and over. Your family will stay in a comfortable tent with en suite facilities and an outside bucket shower. Game viewing at Oliver’s is excellent and includes game drives (night and day) and walking safaris in the company of superb guides.
Experience the best game viewing activity from a bird's view. (additional cost)

Beat the Dawn, Own the Crater:
Wake before sunrise at Lemala Ngorongoro and experience the ultimate safari advantage! By 6:15am, you're descending our exclusive eastern crater access road while other lodges are still preparing breakfast. Within 15 minutes, you're on the legendary crater floor in magical golden light – first to witness lions prowling, elephants emerging from the mist, and hippos yawning in the morning glow.
Here's the insider secret: with only one entry point and hefty re-entry fees, the crater demands a full-day commitment for maximum value. But don't worry – we've perfected this experience!
Morning brings incredible wildlife photography opportunities as predators hunt and prey animals graze in perfect light. As the day warms, enjoy your picnic lunch at the scenic hippo pool or upgrade to our exclusive private hot lunch – a fully catered gourmet meal served al fresco on the crater floor with pristine white linens and crystal glasses, making you feel like African royalty.
While other visitors rush to exit by 6pm, you can linger until the very last moment, capturing spectacular sunset wildlife encounters that most never witness. Your proximity advantage means a quick 15-minute drive home to camp for sundowners and dinner.
During your stay, you will enjoy nightly sundowners around the campfire in front of the main lounge. Sundowners are more than just a happy hour. They are a very cherished African tradition and form an integral part of your safari experience. This special time provides an opportunity to relax, reminisce about the day gone by, enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine around the campfire with fellow travellers all while watching the sunset.
A walk in the magnificent Ngorongoro Highlands is a sensory adventure like no other. Accompanied by expert NCAA (Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority) rangers and authentic Maasai guides, you'll experience Tanzania's legendary landscape on foot – the most intimate way to connect with Africa's wilderness.
Your Maasai guides share centuries-old wisdom passed down through generations, teaching you to read the land as their ancestors did. Meanwhile, NCAA rangers provide expert wildlife knowledge and ensure your safety in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Follow ancient animal pathways as you identify tracks, learn about fascinating medicinal plants that the Maasai have used for generations, and spot smaller creatures and insects invisible from vehicles. Feel the electric thrill of tracking larger game on foot – there's no more authentic way to experience the African bush.
The rolling Ngorongoro Highlands offer breathtaking vistas across this ancient volcanic landscape, where Maasai cattle graze alongside wild zebra and gazelle in perfect harmony. Every step reveals new wonders, from colorful birds to unique highland flora.
Tanzania creates unforgettable family memories, with wildlife encounters that captivate children and create moments parents will treasure forever. The wonder in a child's eyes upon spotting their first lion, towering giraffe, or gentle giant elephant is truly priceless. Lemala Cubs provides specially designed experiences for our youngest explorers aged 12 and under, introducing them to the enchanting world of the African wilderness. These engaging, educational activities inspire the next generation of conservationists while demonstrating the vital importance of protecting Africa's magnificent wildlife. Meanwhile, parents can enjoy peaceful moments knowing their children are happily engaged in meaningful adventures that will shape their understanding of the natural world for years to come.
No Ngorongoro adventure is complete without indulging in the quintessential safari experience – a magical bush lunch on the legendary crater floor. This isn't just a meal; it's your personal "Out of Africa" moment brought to life.
After an exhilarating morning game drive, your expert guide escorts you to your exclusive dining location within the crater itself. Here, beneath the natural shade of ancient acacia trees, your dedicated team awaits to transform the wilderness into your private dining room.
Surrounded by the crater's breathtaking 600-meter walls and endless wildlife, you'll dine in complete seclusion while zebra graze nearby and flamingos dance on distant soda lakes. The only sounds are the gentle African breeze and perhaps the distant rumble of elephants.
Discover the living heart of Maasai tradition with an unforgettable visit to the nearby Irkepushi Cultural Boma, where authentic tribal life continues as it has for centuries in the shadow of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.
Step into a world where time stands still as colorfully adorned Maasai warriors and women welcome you with traditional songs and the iconic "adumu" jumping dance. Feel the earth vibrate beneath your feet as warriors leap skyward in displays of strength and grace that have captivated visitors for generations.
Explore traditional "manyatta" huts constructed entirely from natural materials, witness age-old customs of cattle herding that define Maasai identity, and learn about fascinating traditions from community elders eager to share their rich cultural knowledge. Watch skilled artisans create intricate beadwork and traditional jewelry using techniques passed down through countless generations.
This isn't a performance – it's a genuine cultural exchange where you'll gain profound insights into Maasai philosophy, their harmonious relationship with wildlife, and their deep spiritual connection to the land. Children will delight in learning traditional games while adults discover the complex social structures that have sustained this remarkable community.
his is a truly authentic and unique way to get a glimpse of the way of life in Tanzania. You will meet Sunday, a local hero to many, who has a great story to tell. You will be guided throughout, enjoying a cultural experience in the village of Mto wa Mbu on the border of Lake Manyara National Park, and home to banana plantations growing tens of varieties - including the sweetest red bananas! You will spend a few hours exploring the villages using the favoured mode of transport in the area - local tuk tuks - designed to give you a birds eye view as you meander around the narrow streets. You will see the rice fields and learn how it plays such a vital part in the food of Tanzanians, meet the Makonde carvers, watch the colourful Tinga Tinga painters - and try your hand yourself, visit a local primary school which we support, and before finishing up with a scrumptious Tanzanian lunch in the shade of the famous banana trees.

Governors’ Camp properties combine the best locations in the Masai Mara with the best-designed vehicles and exceptionally highly trained and experienced guides to give our clients un-matched game-viewing and photographic opportunities in the world’s prime wildlife area.
We are in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Masai Mara; we take you out twice a day into the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve and surrounding areas. Our driver-guides are hand-picked and nurtured by us. They undergo a continuous guide training scheme mentored by experts in the field. Having operated in the Masai Mara for 50 years, our driver-guides have an un-paralleled knowledge of the reserve combined with a deep understanding and respect for the importance of this wilderness area, its flora and its fauna.
Game drives are included in the accommodation rate.
For those looking for an adventure of a different kind, we suggest a magical hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara.
The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a launch site behind Little Governors’ Camp. Guests assemble at the launch site for a briefing as the flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. As the dawn breaks, the hot air balloon fills and then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.
What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness – the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara.
After about an hour or so, your balloon safari finishes with a flourish. In the time-honoured tradition of balloon flights the world over, toast your return to earth with sparkling wine and enjoy a delicious breakfast that is set up and served at a very special spot. The experience ends with a game drive back to your camp.
There is an extra cost for a hot air balloon safari and the price depends on the time of year.
For a very unique experience, enjoy the excitement of a bush dinner in the wild. You will arrive at a special secluded location on the banks of the Mara river. A welcoming drink awaits by the warming campfire, followed by a delicious meal prepared by our Bush chefs, served under the stars, with the soft lights of safari lanterns and accompanied by the sounds of the African night and the grunting Mara river hippos.
Bush breakfasts and bush lunches are also available. Please try to book bush meals in advance. Costs: bush breakfasts and lunches USD $75 per person, bush dinners USD $92 per person
After your late afternoon game drive, end the day with a 'sundowner' at our very special spot on the banks of the Mara River. Our team will have set up a traditional 'safari bar' ahead of your arrival.
Sundowners are included in the nightly rate but premium drinks are extra.
The Masai people of East Africa are a striking image, synonymous with safari. A proud people with many traditional practices still very much alive in their culture. Visit a local Masai village and learn about who they are in their own words.
Entry to the Maasai village is currently USD $40 per person and is paid directly to the community.
Since the beginning of the 20th Century the cheetah population has fallen dramatically from 100'000 individuals to 7'500 individuals with human activity a major cause. It is therefore important to understand the cheetah-human interface, which is one of the key works of the Mara-Meru Cheetah Project, led by Dr. Elena Chelyseva.
Our Governors' Guides play a critical role in the data collection for Dr. Elena and her team, reporting through sightings and behaviour observations of cheetah spotted. Dr Elena enjoys sharing her expertise on the cheetahs in the area with our guests through talks or by accompanying guests game drives.
Please let us know if you would like to pre-book a talk or a guided game drive with Elena when booking your safari. There is a minimum donation requirement of USD $500 for a presentation in camp.
Visits to our responsible tourism projects can be organised from camp. Mara Rianda Primary School and Mara Rianda Medical Centre are two inspirational projects supported by Governors’ Camps.
There is no extra charge for this activity but donations to any of the projects are welcome.
On arrival at Governors’ Camp, you will notice our numerous little furry friends - the dwarf and banded mongoose - who are well-loved members of our famous "cast of characters"! We wanted to celebrate these entertaining critters by naming our kid’s club after them, so the Governors’ Mongoose Club was formed.
The idea behind this club is to educate and inspire our youngest visitors in ways they would never have access to in their mainstream schooling systems abroad. Game drives are, of course, extraordinary experiences in themselves to be shared with family, but there is so much more for your children to take away from their Kenyan safari.
The activities are designed to be fun and informative; we know these experiences will provide your children with lifetime memories. You, as the parents, can take some well-deserved timeout, enjoy a spa treatment, read a book, or have a siesta while our friendly team keeps your children as entertained and educated as they would like to be, whilst, of course, ensuring their complete safety at all times. Please note that the Mongoose Club is only available at Governors’ Camp.
