Little Governors Camp – Masai Mara

Little Governors Camp is located around a watering hole close to the Mara River, Masai Mara, Kenya and is open throughout the year. Casting its spell over all who visit, it has 17 tents tucked away amongst the trees. From every veranda the view changes constantly as giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze. Getting here is an adventure in itself. Firstly, you have to cross the Mara River by boat, then a short walk through the forest.

All the tents are comfortable and tasteful. Each with en-suite bathroom, hot running water, even bidets. In keeping with safari tradition lighting is by gas and kerosene lanterns, or by candlelight. As dusk falls, the flickering lights in the forest make the Camp a peaceful and atmospheric place. Meals are of a superlative standard, served, in style, outdoors during the day and by candlelight at night. Come the evening it’s time for chilled drinks and tall tales around the blazing campfire.

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 1.4 million wildebeest and zebra surge up from the Serengeti plains in their annual search for the seasonal grasses that sustain them. 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 vehicles, game walks or balloon flights over the wide plains of the Masai Mara.
