Where in Africa shall we go?

A Secluded Safari Haven in the Heart of the Masai Mara
Tucked away on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, Little Governors' Camp offers a unique blend of seclusion and immersive wildlife encounters. Accessible only by a short boat ride across the Mara River followed by a guided walk through a lush riverine forest, the camp is entirely vehicle-free, ensuring an exclusive and tranquil atmosphere. The intimate setting, comprised of just 17 luxury tents, is arranged around a waterhole that attracts a constant procession of animals, allowing guests to enjoy unparalleled wildlife viewing directly from their private verandas.

Each spacious tent is thoughtfully designed to complement its natural surroundings, featuring polished wooden decks and expansive verandas overlooking the marsh. Interiors offer a blend of classic safari charm and modern comfort, with en-suite bathrooms featuring hot and cold running water, flush toilets, and safari showers. The emphasis on sustainable luxury is evident throughout, with the camp proudly holding a GOLD Eco-Rating from Eco-Tourism Kenya, underscoring its commitment to conservation and responsible tourism.

Dining at Little Governors’ Camp is an experience in itself. Breakfast and lunch are served al fresco on the deck, where guests can dine while watching elephants and warthogs roam freely. The camp’s chefs prepare exquisite meals using locally sourced ingredients, with menus that blend international flavors with an African touch. Dinner is a refined affair, served under canvas by candlelight, offering a serene and elegant end to the day’s adventures.

Beyond game drives, guests can indulge in in-tent spa treatments, featuring 100% natural, locally sourced products. The serene environment of the camp, combined with expert-guided game drives into the heart of the Masai Mara, creates an experience of absolute tranquility and world-class wildlife encounters.
