Serene, unspoiled…let the Little Governors’ Camp in the unrivaled Masai Mara cast its spell on you.

EXPERIENCE

Little Governors’ is intimate in character, with just 17 luxury en-suite tents tucked around a large watering hole that teems with both birds and wildlife. The camp in an exclusive and remote location as it is approached by a boat ride across the Mara River, then an escorted walk through the forest escorted by armed guards.

All the canvas tents are comfortable, tasteful and spacious. Each has an en-suite bathroom, hot running water, even bidets. In keeping with safari tradition lighting is by gas and kerosene lanterns, or by candlelight.

The guest tents at Little Governors’ have recently been renovated and now have great wooden decks with large verandahs for guests to enjoy the constant game activity that takes place around the watering hole at the camp. From every verandah the view changes constantly as giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze.

Wonderful locally made meals are served, as is our style, outdoors during the day and in our candle lit dining tent by night. At the Open Bar, there is a view over the waterhole, the open plains of the Masai Mara and the Oloololo Escarpment. Come the evening it’s time for chilled drinks and tall tales around the blazing campfire. Then finally a delicious dinner and a hot-water bottle to keep you warm in bed.

Many activities such as game excursions can be arranged to view the amazing Masai Mara landscape and its inhabitants. 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. Game walks with qualified guides, and a champagne bush breakfast with sundowners and canapés are a leisurely way to enjoy this compelling African landscape. Hot air balloon rides over the wide plains of the Masai Mara are especially riveting. Visits to a nearby Masai village, the local school and the nearby Lake Victoria can be arranged through the Camp.
