Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River

Established in 1972 as the first permanent tented camp in the Maasai Mara, Governors’ Camp is steeped in history and remains one of the most sought-after safari experiences in Kenya. Nestled along the Mara River, the camp blends luxury with an authentic bush atmosphere, offering spacious canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas overlooking the river or plains.

The location is unparalleled, sitting in a prime wildlife area within the Mara Reserve, meaning guests are constantly surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild. Game drives here offer exceptional predator sightings, and during the Great Migration (July – October), thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, sometimes right in front of the camp. Guests can also enjoy hot air balloon safaris, Maasai cultural visits, and bush dining experiences under the stars.

What Makes Governors’ Camp Special?
• Prime Maasai Mara Location: Unrivalled game viewing in one of the best wildlife areas.
• Historic Safari Camp: The first permanent tented camp in the Mara, offering a classic safari feel.
• Luxury Tented Accommodation: Spacious, well-appointed tents with stunning views.
• Front-Row Seats to the Migration: Watch wildlife from your tent or enjoy up-close encounters on game drives.
• Diverse Activities: Hot air balloon safaris, cultural visits, and bush dining for a complete experience.

Governors’ Camp is ideal for first-time safari-goers and seasoned wildlife lovers alike, offering an unbeatable combination of luxury, history, and wildlife immersion in the Maasai Mara.
