Governor's Camp, Kenya

Sarah Fox

Governor's Camp is the largest of the four Governor's Camps in the Masai Mara. As always the experience is unforgettable, the guiding is excellent and the tents are luxurious. I am more than happy to recommend the Governor's experience to any of my clients.

Govenor's Camp has become synonymous with a fantastic safari experience, and it's the camp of choice for the BBC big cat diary team. Offering you 3 game drives each day gives you even more chance to experience the daily drama of life in the Masai Mara and take away even more fantastic memories. Situated in the Masai Mara National Park the camp is based in an area that was set aside for colonial governors and royal visitors back in the early days of safari. Governor's Camp offers luxurious accommodation under canvas and a social atmosphere, being one of the larger camps in the area, and is loved by its visitors for providing a first class unforgettable safari service.
