GOVERNORS' CAMP:
-
Governors' Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya:
- 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.
- Governors' Camp have
taken special care to preserve an atmosphere in which
today's traveller can share the same elemental
landscape that inspired Hemingway and magnetised
adventurers the world over. The site and size of a
safari camp is critical to its vitality. Governors'
Camp, with its 37 tents set amongst the trees along
the Mara river, also has unrivalled views over the
plains and is visited and re-visited by guests who
find its continued excellence, personal style and
family feeling quietly reassuring. All guest
facilities are under canvas and keep the authentic,
traditional safari atmosphere. All guest tents have
en-suite bathrooms with shower and basin, running cold
and hot water as well as a flush toilet. Gas and
paraffin lamps are used for lighting.

Governors' Camp privately located Justus Suite is

incredible views over the Mara plains and its
wildlife. The dining tent, our campfire and the bar
tent are the centre of the camp. Next to the reception
is a small gallery with local paintings and handcrafts
as well as a small souvenir shop. Breakfast and lunch
are served buffet style, alfresco. Dinner is served in
the dining tent. For dinner the menu offers a choice
of four courses, including a choice of main courses. A
traditional campfire is lit at sunset every evening
and after dinner clients enjoy sitting around the
campfire, reminiscing about their safari in its
evocative light.

- The Masai Mara is a
unique area with a constant and unrivalled 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, when 1.5 million
wildebeest and zebra surge up from the Serengeti
plains in their annual search for the seasonal grasses
that sustain them. The spectacle as the vast herds
cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is
punctuated by individual struggles with the predators,
which are in turn drawn to take their part in this
dramatic event. Whilst the migration is spectacular,
game viewing at all other times of the year remains
almost unrivalled anywhere in Africa.

There are various activities on offer: game drives in
open Landrovers, game walks or balloon flights over
the wide plains of the Masai Mara. Day excursions to
the Lake Victoria are also on offer. However, we
recommend booking these excursions well in advance and
combining the Lake Victoria trip with an overnight
stay. All meals, three game drives daily as well as
laundry is included in our price. Park entrance fees,
drinks as well as other activities (such as walking,
ballooning, Lake Victoria excursion, a visit to a
Masai village) are to be paid separately. Please let
