Overview of Little Governors’ Camp
Little Governor’s Camp is a secluded safari camp, accessible only by boat across the Mara River followed by a short scenic walk through the riverine forest. The 17 luxury tents are tucked beneath the foliage around a large watering hole that teems with wildlife.
Ideal for romantics who enjoy a bit of adventure, the camp offers a secluded and authentic African experience. Start your days at dawn, to appreciate this magical time of day and set out on open vehicle game drives, guided walks or balloon safaris to explore the vast plains of the Masai Mara. Evenings are spent around the campfire, sharing stories and getting to know the other guests.
Make a Positive Impact Through TravelGovernors’ Camp Collection has been working hand in hand with its community neighbours and local conservation organisations to protect the unique wilderness areas and the species that flourish within them in the diverse areas of operation. Together with guests and partners, they make life-changing differences for the better. |

Superior Tent
The safari tents are located in a fringe of forest and positioned to offer wonderful views of both the waterhole and surrounding marsh.
Each tent is spacious and has a private veranda from which you can see the resident warthog and elephant as they come to drink. Tents are tastefully furnished to create a comfortable living space and each has a large bed and en suite bathroom with hot and cold running water.
Other Room Types
Little Governor’s Camp offers one Honeymoon Suite. Although it offers exactly the same amount of space and comfort as the other tents, it is positioned on the furthest end, ensuring the most beautiful views and maximum amount of privacy.
General Facilities
The private verandas of each tent offer a wonderful place to relax with a drink after a day of exploration. They offer incredible views of the waterhole and the variety of animals and birds that come here to drink.

Dining
Meals at Little Governor’s are prepared by the talented chefs who are able to cater to all dietary needs. Breakfast is typically served in the outdoor dining area, where you can enjoy views of the marsh and perhaps be entertained by a wandering elephant as you tuck into warm delicacies, croissants and fresh fruit.
Lunch is also served in the outdoor dining area, and consists of a buffet of pastas, salads and delicious grills. The evening meal is an à la carte dinner served in the romantic, candle-lit dining tent and is followed by drinks around the crackling camp fire. For a truly memorable experience, request a bush dinner in the heart of the African wilderness.
