Governors’ Camp is one of the oldest and most iconic safari camps in the Masai Mara, ideally situated along the tree-lined banks of the Mara River inside the Mara Reserve. Established in 1972, it pioneered the classic luxury tented safari and remains a favorite among wildlife filmmakers, photographers, and safari enthusiasts from around the world.

The camp offers 37 classic-style canvas tents, all carefully positioned to maximize privacy and uninterrupted views—some overlook the river where hippos and crocodiles bask, while others offer vistas of the vast plains dotted with wildlife.

Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment, each tent is spacious, en-suite, and features a private verandah. The camp retains an authentic safari charm while offering modern comforts. There are no fences, so wildlife frequently passes through—providing a truly immersive bush experience.

Governors’ Camp is famous for its prime location during the Great Wildebeest Migration, with easy access to the Mara River crossing points, making it ideal for witnessing dramatic predator-prey action. It also offers balloon safaris, walking safaris, and game drives led by expert guides.

This camp is perfect for travelers seeking a classic safari experience with a deep sense of history, conservation, and exceptional wildlife viewing.
