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.
