Experience luxury befitting Kenya’s colonial governors when you stay at Governors’ Camp. Established in 1972 as a place for local leaders, it is still the accommodations’ standards that all others are measured by.
Named after the Maasai people who inhabit the area and the Mara River, which flows through this great reserve, the Masai Mara National Reserve is a land of breathtaking vistas over endless game-filled plains. Contiguous with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, it is known the world over for the awe-inspiring spectacle of the annual Great Migration over the golden savannahs. While the migration is spectacular, the Masai Mara offers a constant and unparalleled flow of wildlife throughout the year.
Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with birdlife, hippos, and crocodiles, in the heart of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve.
Some of the 37 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest to enjoy uninterrupted views over the Mara River. Others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. Created in 1972, Governors’ Camp set new standards in luxury for a tented camp. Today, it remains one of Africa’s best.
Everything is under canvas. All tents feature en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flushing toilets. There is a bar tent with a deck overlooking the Mara River and a dining tent with views over the plains.

Seamless, Stress-Free Safari Planning – An Unforgettable Experience
From the moment I sent an enquiry, Kim Abraham made the entire process seamless and effortless. Her replies were fast, thorough and incredibly helpful. She provided excellent recommendations and even secured a hold on the hotel we were interested in before we booked it, as there was only one room left (I did check directly with the hotel and was told they were fully booked!). Kim arranged every detail of our safari - flights, accommodation, park fees, everything - and the entire trip ran flawlessly. Entim Mara (the camp she recommended) was absolutely incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip and provided the most magical experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kim and would book another trip with her in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Experience
Very nice experience at Kapama River Lodge, the view is stunning and we are super close to wildlife animals on safari game drive. We are very lucky that all the BIG FIVES have been sighted during the 2-day stay. Accommodation is luxury and you can have good rest and fun after safari game drive. All of there wonderful things are based on Kim Abrahams's perfect work and her recommendation. Great thanks to Kim Abrahams, she is very patient and professional and always provides the best offer.
