GOVERNORS CAMP
The setting is magical. So much so that almost a century ago it as 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, its waters teeming with hippo and crocodile.
Some of the 36 tents line the riverbank, with uninterrupted views over the Mara River, others have views across the sweeping plains. Guests stay in well- appointed canvas tents, each with its own bathroom.
Evenings at Governors Camp are devoted to cocktails around a bonfire and dinner by candlelight. Each morning a breakfast feast is prepared over blazing coals: mountains of bacon, eggs the way you like them, fresh milk flown-in daily, hot-baked croissants, exotic fruits, and freshly-brewed Kenya coffee.
Lunch at Governors Camp, like breakfast, is a buffet, this time roast meats hot and cold, fresh salads and delicious desserts. Both meals are served on the shady riverbank with views across the Mara’s plains.
In our opinion although Governors is a superb and well run camp in a great location the smaller sister camps of Little Governors and Il Moran offer a more intimate and personal safari experience with the benefit of the same high standards and location
