Settle into Governors' Camp
Governors' Camp is a permanent luxury tented safari camp in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, established in 1972 and remaining on its original site on the banks of the Mara River adjacent to the iconic Musiara Marsh. The entire camp is under canvas, with luxury tents overlooking the Mara River and five family tents offering views across the open plains, each with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah. Its placement within a non-fenced, wildlife-dense zone means frequent sightings of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and hippo in and around camp, with excellent positioning for the Great Migration. The camp now operates on 100% solar power, offers spa treatments and holds a GOLD rating from Eco-Tourism Kenya.
