LITTLE GOVERNORS' CAMP
MASAI MARA CAMP

"IN A WORD, SPECTACULAR!"
The Camp that Africa’s old hands swear by, Little Governors’ casts its spell over all who visit from honeymooning couples to Presidents. "Our favourite camp in the Mara" according to the guide ‘Kenya’s Best’. Intimate in character, there are just 17 tents tucked around a large watering-hole that teems with animal and bird life.

From every veranda the view changes daily: Giraffe and Lion, Elephant and Warthog. Getting here is an adventure in itself, you first have to cross the Mara River by boat, then walk a short distance, escorted by armed guards, through the forest. All the tents are comfortable and tasteful. Each has en-suite bathroom, hot water, even bidets. In keeping with safari tradition lighting is by gas and kerosene lantern or candlelight. As dusk falls the flickering lights in the forest make the camp a uniquely peaceful and atmospheric place.

The guide "Kenya’s Best’ adds: "There is something about this camp that is very friendly, yet private. Guests seem to enjoy mingling with the staff and each other, and because of the smallness of the camp, you really feel special." Meals are of our usual superlative standards, served, as is our style, outdoors during the day or in our candlelit dining tent. In any Governors’ Camp we’re happy to cater for all tastes or needs, just let us know. Come the evening it’s time for chilled drinks and tall tales around the blazing campfire. Then, finally, a delicious dinner and a hot-water bottle to keep you warm in bed.

Activities whilst on the Mara

PUTTING YOU AT THE HEART OF THE ACTION
The best location, the best guides, the best vehicles. We offer the best Kenya game viewing in the Masai Mara. All the Governors’ Camps are inside the Reserve.

GAME DRIVES There’s always excitement in the Mara, dawn as the animals wake, midday and the shimmering heat, or dusk, perfect for hunting: a pride of lion stalking zebra, a herd of elephant heading for the swamps, cheetah cubs playing in the shade. Sights you won’t forget. Our four-wheel-drive vehicles are built to our own specifications. Cut-away roofs give you better views. Our professional drivers will astonish you with what they find: a tell-tale vulture will lead them to a hyena kill, a warning cry from a mother wildebeest reveals a leopard stalking through the grass.

HOT AIR BALLOON SAFARIS For the experience of a lifetime, drift the dawn over the magnificant plains of the Masai Mara in a Hot Air Balloon. Then feast on a sumptuous champagne breakfast in the bush at the landing site', before returning to camp on a game drive.'

Hot Air Ballooning Costs £220.00 per person

WALKING SAFARIS Leave your vehicle behind and take a walking safari with one of our armed-guides for the true thrill of the bush. Down on the same level as the animals you’ll experience the untamed beauty of the Mara. You’ll track game, unsure what waits round the next corner, giraffe, buffalo, even lion. You’ll catch the scents and sounds of wild Africa. And at the end of it all waits a sumptuous bush barbecue complete with champagne.

Game Walk Costs £48.00 per person

MASAI VILLAGES Surrounding the Mara are the lands of the Masai tribe, a tall, proud race of warriors. Herding cattle and goats, they’ve lived among the animals for centuries. We’ll take you to Masai villages to see a way of life that’s survived almost unchanged for generations.
