Governors Camp in Kenya is situated on the banks of the Mara River in the west of the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Built in 1972, this game lodge in Kenya 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, Governors Camp has been refined and improved through the years. Special care has been taken to preserve an atmosphere at Governors Camp in which today's traveller can share the same elemental landscape that inspired Hemingway and magnetised adventurers the world over.

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. Witness this on your stay at Governors Camp.

The spectacle as the vast herds cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is punctuated by individual struggles with the predators, which in turn are 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, here at Governors Camp.
