Little Governors’ Camp, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

A Tented Camp in Kenya

Camp Details

Little Governors’ Camp was the second camp to open in 1976, with its own independent character; it was built around a small watering hole that teems with birds and wildlife. The camp is reached by boat and the exquisite, romantic setting has a serenity all of its own. Little Governors’ casts its spell over all who visit, from honeymoon couples to Presidents.

Intimate in character, there are just seventeen tents tucked away amongst the trees. From every verandah the view changes constantly as giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze. Getting there is an adventure in itself. You first have to cross the Mara River by boat, then a short escorted walk through the riverine forest. All the tents are comfortable and tasteful. Each has an ensuite bathroom, hot running water, even bidets. In keeping with safari tradition, we have subtle safari lighting and candlelight.

As dusk falls, the flickering lights in the forest make the Camp a peaceful and atmospheric place. Meals are our usual superlative standards, served, as is our style, outdoors during the day and in our candle lit dining tent by night. Come the evening it’s time for chilled drinks and tall tales around the blazing campfire. Then finally a delicious dinner and a hotwater bottle to keep you warm in bed.
