Kenya's Governors Main Camp
Governors Main Camp
Once reserved exclusively for Kenya's colonial Governors and their royal visitors, the Governors Main Camp is today popular with both animals and their admirers visiting the Maasai Mara. The camp emphasis is on enjoyment of the wildlife heritage of Africa in the highest possible style. Situated along the banks of the Mara River in the west of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Governors Main Camp is an icon of standards in luxury tented camping, putting particular emphasis on comfort and a seamless service, all complimented by the sort of good food which would have been impossible to savor in the bygone days of the grand safari.
Maintaining these unique qualities as a tradition, the camp has been refined and improved over the years. The site and size of a safari camp is critical to its vitality. Governors' Main Camp with 37 tents set amongst the trees along the Mara river boasts of unrivalled views over the plains and is visited and re-visited every year by guests who find the continued excellence, personal style and family feeling quite reassuring. All guest facilities are under canvas and keep the authentic, traditional safari atmosphere. All guest tents have en-suite bathrooms with shower and basin, running cold and hot water as well as a flush toilet. Gas and paraffin lamps are used for lighting. The privately located Justus Suite is perfect for honeymoon couples, as is tent 37 which has incredible views over the Mara plains and its wildlife. The dining tent, our campfire and the bar tent are the centre of the camp. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style, alfresco. Dinner is served in the dining tent. For dinner the menu offers a choice of four courses, including a choice of main courses.
