Kenya's Little Governors Camp
Little Governors Camp
Located around a natural water hole in the Maasai Mara game reserve in Kenya, the Little Governors Camp is accessible only by boat and so getting there 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. Vehicles are left behind on the far river bank, therefore making the camp quite, peaceful and undisturbed. The exquisite, romantic setting has a unique serenity. As dusk falls, the flickering lights in the forest make the Camp a peaceful and atmospheric place.
This camp casts a 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 across the plains changes constantly as giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze. Each luxurious tent has an en-suite bathroom with basin, shower, and flush toilet, hot and cold running water. In each tent there are gas and paraffin lamps giving you the true safari experience. However, 220 volt plugs are available from the reception. The spacious luxurious safari tents entirely under canvas, each with private verandah. 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.
