This camp is used as the base for 'Big Cat Diary '. You sleep in huge army style tents with the luxury of a proper bed and shower . The camp is open , meaning that the wild life can come and go as they please, there are however armed guards just in case the wild animals venture too close.... More

We were a party of 7 and it was our first time in Africa and our first stop. The setting couldn't have been more lovely. Our tents looked out into a marsh that housed hippos, and a huge number of birds. There were resident wart hogs on the grounds that totally ignored us. Elephants, giraffes, impalas all graced the landscape... More

We stayed at Little Governor's camp for two nights and it was amazing. The location was stunning, the staff couldn't have been more friendly and the organisation was superb. Leonard our guide was polite, very knowledgeable and made the safaris very special. The food was of a very high standard. We hope to go back again in the future and... More

Recently stayed on a 3 night safari in April. It was a great experience and the camp is first class. From the time they pick you up at the air strip to when you leave they take care of everything. The staff is great, the food is excellent and there's plenty of it, the location is the best. My guide... More

Governor's Camp was absolutely stunning and I could not have imagined a more perfect vacation. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, and especially my guide Alfred who went out of his way to find a very special lion, Notch, for me. The manager James was delightful and visited with our little group every night by the camp fire. The... More

Having been to another camp in the Masai Mara and not enjoyed it I was a bit wary about the meeting being held here . From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we were welcomed and looked after like royalty- which is not easy when you have about 50 people from all over the world coming in... More

I'm the type of person who is happiest when doing my own kind of safari. I like to drive myself, cook for myself and make camp where and when I want. I was persuaded to go to Governor's camp because my friend's sister was heavily pregnant and didn't fancy 'roughing it'. I was impressed from the moment we arrived. Governor's... More

Having just returned from Governors Camp 2 weeks ago, after my 10th visit. I find it impossible to have one negative thought about this wonderful camp. All the "Mod Cons" luxury etc but still Rustic and nothing to spoil the magic of the animals.... even visiting at meal times.... when the staff and guests have to take cover and allow... More

Had a 3 night 4 day stay at Governors Camp, what an amazing place. 3 game drives a day in open backed vehicles was a great way to experience the Masai Mara, out early morning and back for breakfast around 9.00, mid morning until lunchtime, out again at 3.30 pm until dusk then back for the evening meal at 8.00pm...
