In 1976 Little Governors' Camp, with its own independent character, was built around a small watering hole that teems with birds and wildlife. The camp is reached by boat and the exquisite romantic setting has a serenity all of its own.

Little Governors' Camp casts its 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 veranda, the view changes constantly as giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and warthog all come to drink or graze. Getting to Little Governors' is an adventure in itself if you choose to arrive by boat. You first have to cross the Mara River by boat, then a short walk through the forest escorted by guards.

Little Governors' Camp is located in the Masai Mara is a unique area with a constant and unrivalled flow of wildlife throughout the year. From July to October, the Mara becomes a backdrop for one of the last great natural wonders of the world, when over 1.4 million wildebeest and zebra surge up from the Tanzania's Serengeti plains in their annual search for the seasonal grasses that sustain them. The spectacle in the Kenya's Masai Mara as the vast herds cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is punctuated by individual struggles with the predators, which are in turn drawn to take their part in this dramatic event. Birds and butterflies abound, elephants wander through the camp at night, leopard's call nearby. Nowhere else can you get so far from civilization, yet stay in such style.

Accommodation
All the tents are comfortable and tasteful.

Each has an en-suite bathroom, hot and cold running water, even bidets. In keeping with safari tradition lighting is by gas and kerosene lanterns, or by candlelight.

All meals, three game drives daily as well as laundry is included in our price.

Meals and Relaxation
As dusk falls, the flickering lights in the forest makes the camp a peaceful and atmospheric place.

Meals are our usual superlative standards, served, as is our style, outdoors during the day and in our candlelight-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.
