Little Governors Camp
Little Governors’ Camp
In 1976 Little Governor's Camp was built around a small lake that teems with birds and wildlife in the Masai Mara National Reserve. The seventeen tents are reached by boat, across the Mara River, and the exquisite setting is serene and romantic. The serenity is only broken by visiting hippo, which graze here at night, and by the rich birdlife that lives near or by the river. It’s like Governors' Camp yet more intimate and entirely under canvas.
The tents at Little Governors' are very carefully positioned so that the private verandas overlook a water hole which is extremely popular with game, particularly elephant. Luxurious furnishings, private bathrooms, a fully stocked bar, wonderful service and a highly experienced French Chef ensure that travellers experience a true safari yet enjoy a high degree of comfort.
Masai Mara is one of Africa’s grandest wilderness areas and simply cannot be left out of a safari in Kenya. You will always see a wide variety of wildlife here, though the Big-5 and the migration are what most visitors come for.
