Little Governors Camp-Masai Mara
In 1976 Little Governors' Camp, with its own independent character,
was built around a small watering hole that teems with birds and wildlife. The camp is reached by boat and the exquisite,
romantic setting has a serenity all of its own.
Little
Governors’ casts its spell over all who visit, from honeymoon couples to Presidents. Intimate in character, there are
just seventeen tents tucked away amongst the trees. From every verandah the view changes constantly as giraffe, elephant,
buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze. Getting here is an adventure in itself. You first have to cross the
Mara River by boat, then a short walk through the forest escorted by armed guards.
All the tents are comfortable and tasteful. Each has an en-suite bathroom, hot running water, even bidets. In keeping with
safari tradition lighting is by gas and kerosene lanterns, or by candlelight.
As dusk falls, the flickering lights
in the forest make the Camp a peaceful and atmospheric place. Meals are our usual superlative standards, served, as is our
style, outdoors during the day and in our candle lit dining tent by night. 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.
The Masai Mara is a unique area with a constant and unrivalled flow of wildlife throughout the year. From July to
October the Mara becomes a backdrop for one of the last great natural wonders of the world, when 1.5 million wildebeest and
zebra surge up from the Serengeti plains in their annual search for the seasonal grasses that sustain them. The spectacle
as the vast herds cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is punctuated by individual struggles with the predators,
which are in turn drawn to take their part in this dramatic event. Whilst the migration is spectacular, game viewing at all
other times of the year remains almost unrivalled anywhere in Africa.
There are various activities on offer: game
viewing excursions in open Landrovers, game walks or balloon flights over the wide plains of the Masai Mara. Day excursions
to the Lake Victoria are also on offer. However, we recommend booking these excursions well in advance and combining the Lake
Victoria trip with an overnight stay. All meals, three game viewing excursions daily as well as laundry is included in our
price. Park entrance fees, drinks as well as other activities (such as walking, ballooning, Lake Victoria excursion, a visit
to a Masai village) are to be paid separately. Please let us know special dietary requirements in advance.
Please
note: luggage restriction of 15 kg on all domestic flights. Extra luggage can be left at your base hotel in Nairobi. Safari
arrangements and bookings can be made through your local ground handling agent or directly with Governors’ Camp.
