Governors Camp

(Masai Mara National Reserve - Kenya)

General Description
Governors Main Camp (one of several award-winning properties in the Governors' portfolio) is situated on the Mara River in the Masai Mara National Reserve. To one side of the camp is the Mara River, and on the other, the sweeping plains the Serengeti is named after; during the wildebeest migration guests can quite literally spend a day game viewing without ever needing to leave camp. Game viewing is particularly good here with a good variety of wildlife,  including a healthy population of cats. In fact the BBC’s Big Cat Diaries were filmed here. The bush lands around Rhino Ridge are also good areas for spotting one of the Masai Mara’s 20 or so black rhinos.

Accommodation
Governors Camp has 37 comfortable tents (24 Twins, 12 Doubles & 1 Suite) which are spacious, luxurious and entirely under canvas, each with private verandah, ceiling fan, and safe. The tents have en-suite bathrooms, hot running water and flush toilets. 

Dining
A decked bar is right on the rivers edge and most meals are buffet style under the open skies or in the large thatched dining area.
