The Mara
Governors' Camp
is situated on
the banks of the
Mara River in
the west of the
Masai Mara Game
Reserve. Created
in 1972, it set
new standards in
luxury as a
tented camp,
putting
particular
emphasis on
comfort and
service,
complimented by
the sort of good
food, which
would have been
impossible in
the bygone days
of the grand
safari.
Maintaining
these unique
qualities as a
tradition, the
Mara governors
camp has been
refined and
improved through
the years.
The Mara
Governors' Camp,
with its 37
tents set
amongst the
trees along the
Mara river, also
has unrivalled
views over the
plains and is
visited and
re-visited by
guests who find
its continued
excellence,
personal style
and family
feeling quietly
reassuring.
All guest
facilities are
under canvas and
keep the
authentic,
traditional
safari
atmosphere. All
guest tents have
en-suite
bathrooms with
shower and
basin, running
cold and hot
water as well as
a flush toilet.
Gas and paraffin
lamps are used
for lighting.
Mara Governors'
camp privately
located Justus
Suite is perfect
for honeymoon
couples, as is
tent 37 which
has incredible
views over the
Mara plains and
its wildlife.
The dining tent,
campfire and the
bar tent are the
centre of the
camp. Next to
the reception is
a small gallery
with local
paintings and
handcrafts as
well as a small
souvenir shop.
Breakfast and
lunch are served
buffet style,
alfresco. Dinner
is served in the
dining tent. For
dinner the menu
offers a choice
of four courses,
including a
choice of main
courses. A
traditional
campfire is lit
at sunset every
evening and
after dinner
clients enjoy
sitting around
the campfire,
reminiscing
about their
safari in its
evocative light.
There are
various
activities on

excursions in
open Land
rovers, game
