A Bespoke Safari Experience Along the Mara River
Nestled within a lush riverine forest on a secluded bend of the Mara River, Governors' Private Camp offers an intimate and personalized safari experience in the heart of Kenya's renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Designed for those seeking exclusivity and immersion in nature, this camp provides a harmonious blend of comfort and wilderness, ensuring guests enjoy the rich biodiversity of the region in a serene and private setting.

Accommodating up to 16 guests across eight spacious tents, each positioned on elevated wooden platforms, the camp ensures both privacy and breathtaking views of the Mara River. The tents are thoughtfully designed to evoke the classic safari ambiance, featuring extended verandahs where guests can relax and observe the diverse wildlife that frequents the riverbanks. En-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, flush toilets, and showers provide modern conveniences amidst the wild.

Culinary experiences at Governors' Private Camp are tailored to delight the senses. Guests can indulge in a continental and full English breakfast buffet, while lunch offers a selection of fresh salads and local delicacies served al fresco. Dinner is a la carte, featuring a fusion of international and African-inspired dishes, enjoyed in the dining tent overlooking the river. Special dietary requirements are catered to upon request, ensuring a personalized dining experience.

While the camp does not feature a traditional spa, guests can rejuvenate with a range of massages available upon request, utilizing 100% natural products from The Wild Herb Company. These treatments can be enjoyed in the comfort and privacy of one's tent, enhancing the overall sense of relaxation and well-being. The camp's commitment to sustainability is evident through its eco-friendly practices, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint while providing exceptional comfort.
