Governors' Camp

Perfect experience in every regard. Highly recommend Eric as the driver-guide. He is patient, knowledgeable and has tailored the experience to fit our needs. We saw the migration river crossing, a live-kill, animals hunting and giving birth, and much more, due to his hard work. Areas of improvement: personally am not a huge fan of buffet dinners, wish there could be a la carte options.

We are a few weeks back now from visiting Governors and the heart still hurts with wanting to return. Having stayed in many camps across Kenya, SA and Tanzania Governors was still incredibly special. We travelled as a group of 6 with 4 adults and two children and flew in from the equally incredible Loldia House on the Governors plane. This alone is a great experience which only becomes better when you check in to camp. As always the staff play such a massive part in how you feel about a place and a very special mention to Paul, Gladys and Pesi for always looking after us be it at the bar, restaurant or not getting attacked by the cheeky hyenas on the way back to our tents! The kids just loved every second and the way the staff interacted with them being the only kids in camp was amazing and has shaped their views on safari for the rest of their lives. To our guide Kuluo just thank you! If you are lucky enough to get this gentleman as your guide then you are in for a treat! Kind, knowledgeable, humorous, patient, and with a real love of his job - he made our trip even more special and everyone of us was incredibly sad to leave. If you are halfway to booking a safari the chances are you are going to love it anyway but going with the two Governors Camps we were lucky enough to visit will guarantee you something even more special - a trip you will always remember with people you will always want to return to. Thank you from the Gordon / Rattue family and William And Eloise especially say thankyou

Fabulous place, fantastic guide, great experiences, wonderful food and so much more. We throughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend. Definately whetted our appetite to come back for more. Also loved our beach resort (Kinondo Kwetu) after the safari - again great food, lovely staff and fantastic beach

10 plus!!!! We could not have asked for more! Perfect in every way. The food was just fabulous, the guides constantly went above and beyond to make your time so special and the little touches every day were just so special; including the hot water bottles at night and the home made biscuits and hot drinks for your early wake up call. Finally, the Masai dancing was incredible. This was a true 5 star experience where you are transported to a magical place. Every day had wow moments and will give memories that will last forever. It feels an absolute privilege to have stayed here and met every one of the staff team. governor’s camp is what it is because of you all. We sincerely thank you so much. We will be back.

We had looked at other camps but decided to stay here and would recommend it.. it’s not luxurious but very comfortable. The tents are spacious and neat. We had ones overlooking the river and the grunts and noises from the hippo did not bother us. Tents get hot in the afternoons, so do ask for a fan. The bathrooms are huge and have hairdryers. We had 3 rooms and out of that, one had good shower pressure , one was ok and the last one was a trickle. The laundry service is good, which is useful as clothes get very dusty. Since they don’t allow plastic bottles, you are given personalised metal bottles to fill drinking water from the safe tap in the tents. All tents have flashlights, umbrellas and insect spray for the rooms The staff is excellent, they take care of everything. We decided to have a picnic, breakfast and lunch. The food and drinks were loaded into our vehicle before we had arrived to start the safari. We are all vegetarians and the chef was very happy to come out and talk to us about our requirements. Some dishes like the vegetable rice, dal, baked potato were excellent but others like the green risotto were ok. One dinner was local vegetarian food and it was delicious , especially the okra. Thank you chef. Our guide Dickson was very knowledgeable and patient. He knew all the good spots for viewing and even managed to show us a river crossing of the wildebeest! They keep raincoats and blankets in the vehicle for your use. We had a great time.

It was a great experience. The place was situated right in the middle of the Masai Mara with no fences, so you were part of the wilderness. With that said, there were many guards 24/7 protecting you, so even if a herd of elephants, hippos or warthogs showed up next to your tent, you do not have to feel concerned.
