Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest on a site originally reserved exclusively for the colonial Governors of Kenya (hence the name). Half the tents look out over the rolling grasslands of Masai Mara and the rest line the banks of the Mara river. The decked bar is right on the waters edge, the perfect spot to watch wallowing hippo or a crocodile guarding its eggs. Governors concept “Here time is gauged by sunrise and sunset, the unchanged vistas stretch far into the distance while elephant, warthog and hippo stroll close to your tent. Days are spent exploring the herds which roam free and the predators which stalk them, evenings around the campfire and gourmet dinners by candlelight, before retiring to a comfortable bed in your spacious and luxurious tent to the sounds of the African night. No electricity, no cell phones, and no tethering to the hectic rush of life” And I have to say after staying there this trip (Dec 2009) I have to whole heartedly agree that this is an amazing camp in a fabulous location and with a real safari atmosphere. Highly recommended!
