Governors' Camp

Governors’ was great as always. Wonderful guide and friendly staff. We were very happy that we had our own private vehicle for 3 days!

Situated in the Masai Mara National Reserve with views onto the open plains as well as onto the Mara River, Governors' is a great option for a Masai Mara experience, in particular during the annual Migration!

Just to say I had an amazing trip. All contacts made very well, flights and lodges, fantastic, as was the food at all times. The guides at each camp/lodge were great as was the jeep transport. The Big 5 I saw many times; also two migrations, one at Governor’s Camp by zebras mostly and one at Olakira Camp, thousands of wildebeest; hunting lions, a pride of 9 lions, leopard several times, cheetah several times including a chase, all other African wildlife, black rhino, hippos, crocs, birds. Monkeys, snake, giant lizard, tortoise and of course elephants, giraffes etc, so all in all everything I had looked for in this trip came true. Fabulous photography at all times. I make photographic books for each trip and to select from the thousand photos is going to be very difficult!

Yes, we are back. In one word, the vacation was “fabulous”, one of the best vacations we ever had. The chef at Governor's camp did not make any extra effort to make vegan meal, but nevertheless, there were enough items – salad, pasta etc. that we can eat. Also, they need to better take care of flies floating on the salad. I put a comment to that effect on their survey. Game drives were all excellent and exciting. The drivers in both the camps are very knowledgeable and made all the best efforts to make sure we see as many animals as possible. In Masai Mara we even got to see the migration and crossing of the rivers by Wildebeest. That was the highlight of the entire tour, as I was very excited about it. Thanks to our driver, who drove us 2 hours through treacherous trails to get to the crossing point. Of course, I insisted on going there.

At Governors’ the drivers could go off-road and drive within 20-30 feet of the animals. Can you tell that we absolutely loved the Masai Mara!

Wonderful people in the camps, the camps showed the different parts of the area and terrain. I was a little nervous going by myself but everyone was watching out for me. The managers at the camps were lovely to me and made sure I had everything I needed. Food was outstanding!!!

Very fine establishment. The service was excellent and the food and the fishing very good. Our fishing guide was great, showing us several fish eagles and throwing them fish so that they would swoop down to pick it up while we watched and photographed.

Everything was well organised and we had no problems. Accommodation was excellent and the food and service were both excellent. Safaris were amazing – got to see everything we wanted 🙂

This was amazing – the best service we ever experienced. The move to main Governors was very easy and not a big deal at all. I would say that I preferred the intimacy of Little Governors – the boat across to it made it seem very special indeed!!

This was absolutely outstanding. We’ve been to other camps in South Africa and this is in a different league – plentiful game, wonderful accommodation and excellent staff. The whole experience is going to be hard to beat!
