Governors' Camp

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 teem with birdlife, hippo, and crocodile. It's 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 the comforts of a luxury hotel. Some of the 30 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest with uninterrupted views over the Mara River, while 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 veranda. There is a bar tent with a deck overlooking the Mara River and a dining tent with views over the plains. Please also enquire about our Spa tent, which offers a range of treatments, including facials, massages, manicures, and pedicures.

Governors’ Camp has been awarded a Silver Eco Rating from Eco-Tourism Kenya due to our sustainable tourism practices in place at the camp.
