• Up & Away - watch the plains come to life on a dawn balloon safari.

• Bush Cuisine - the camp is known for delicious breakfasts, buffet lunches & four-course dinners.

• Fantastic Wildlife - the Mara is home to Africa's 'Big 5' & the extraordinary annual migration.

Governors' Camp has a peaceful setting in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, in the northern Masai Mara. The camp was established in 1972, and combines a traditional safari feel with a touch of luxury. Being an unfenced camp, it is common to see hippos grazing on the lawns, while crocodiles bask in the river below.

The Masai Mara is a unique area with a constant flow of wildlife throughout the year. From July to October the Mara becomes a backdrop for one of the last great natural wonders of the world, the great migration of thousands of wildebeest in their journey to find better grazing and water. Governors' Camp offers a perfect setting in which to witness the migration, as well as spotting other wildlife that hunts and resides in the surrounding area.

The guides are both knowledgeable and entertaining, and you have the choice of three game drives per day, as well as guided bush walks. Hot air balloon safaris are well worth the extra expense; consider floating in the quiet dawn above the Mara plains, ending with a delicious champagne breakfast in the middle of nowhere.

Governors' Camp is a superior safari camp situated in the northern Masai Mara, Kenya.

• 24-Hour Room Service

Governor's is known for its bountiful spreads of delicious food, and the dining tent, campfire area and bar tent are the focal point of the camp.

Each day begins with a breakfast buffet cooked over coals, as well as hot-baked croissants, exotic fruits, and freshly-brewed Kenyan coffee. Lunch is also buffet style, this time roast meats, fresh salads and delicious desserts. Both meals are served on the shady riverbank with views across the Mara's plains.

Dinner is served in the candlelit dining tent, and the menu offers you a choice of 4-courses, including a selection of main courses. After dinner you can sip cocktails around a bonfire, and chat about your day's sightings.

Governors' Camp has 37 tents set amongst the trees. Some have views over the Mara River, while others have views across the plains.

Tents are comfortable and clean, and each has an en-suite bathroom with a hot shower and flushing toilet. There is no electricity in Governor's Camp, but gas and paraffin lamps add to the traditional safari atmosphere.
