Governors' Camp
Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
About This Property
The Experience
Governors' Camp is a tented camp on a forested bend of the Mara River beside Musiara Marsh, in the northwest of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. Opened in 1972 on a site once reserved for Kenya's colonial governors, it describes itself as Africa's first permanent luxury tented camp. It has 24 en-suite tents, five of them family tents, with river or plains views. The camp is unfenced, so elephants and hippos regularly pass through. There is a riverside bar and deck, a dining tent, a spa tent and a shop, and Musiara Airstrip is a short drive away.
