Governors Camp
Governors' Camp is situated on the banks of the Mara River in the west of the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Created in 1972, it set new standards in luxury as a tented camp, putting particular emphasis on comfort and service, complimented by the sort of good food, which would have been impossible in the bygone days of the grand safari. Maintaining these unique qualities as a tradition, the camp has been refined and improved through the years.
Almost a century ago this site was reserved exclusively, for Kenya's colonial Governors and their royal visitors. Now Governors' Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River.
