The Experience

Truly something very special, the Governors' Private Camp is just that, ‘private’.   Set in the bend of the Mara River, this exclusive camp is catered for by an executive chef and relies on the highly specialised experience of Governor’s staff.

Revel in the luxury of space and peace in which you can watch, undisturbed, hippo laze in the water, birds flitting through the forest surrounding the camp and elephants bringing their calves down for a swim. The best guides and trackers are on standby to offer you their experience and knowledge of the reserve on game drives and guided walks.

You will stay in classic, traditional safari tents furnished with handmade beds, chairs and tables and the private bathrooms have hot bucket showers and flush toilets. Relax on the private verandas overlooking the river or in the communal area of the camp. The executive chef is open to tailoring the menu to suit your desires and your meals will be served up on fine china and the complimentary drinks in fine crystal.


Facilities

The exclusive Governors' Private Camp can only be booked by one group at a time thus ensuring that you receive a highly personalised experience. The eight tents are spacious and all have private bathrooms and verandas. The decor is traditional safari style with hand carved furniture and ethnic touches. Enjoy the his-and-her bucket showers with hot and cold water and there are flush toilets in all of the en-suite bathrooms.

Lighting is provided by gas and paraffin lamps adding to the romantic atmosphere as does the quality of the food served up by the executive chef. The open bar and dining room has spectacular views over the Mara River and for something special book for a bush breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are 220 volt plugs available at reception if you need to charge cameras.

The luxury Governors' Private Camp has gone to great lengths to ensure that you have a superlative traditional safari experience.
