Take a small boat across the Mara River to discover a tranquil camp teeming with wildlife.
If you are looking for a friendly tented camp that’s intimate in character and sits in one of Africa’s best wildlife viewing spots, this is it. Little Governors’ lies a small boat ride across the river from its sister camps. There’s no vehicle access, with safari vehicles left on the far side of the riverbank, so it remains quiet and undisturbed. In fact, the most commotion you’ll witness is if an elephant decides to wander through camp at lunchtime – that’s how close to the action you are here. It’s more than likely that you’ll hear hippos at night and get up close with the resident family of warthogs. A large bank of solar panels means that Little Governors’ can run on 100% solar power. Governors' recognises that local people must benefit directly from tourism, resulting in a 50-year commitment to local communities delivering genuine social and conservation results.
Why we love Little Governors' Camp
-
There's a high number of repeat guests who are drawn back to the magic of this wildlife-rich setting
-
The camp is set around a large natural watering hole and at night, you can often hear hippos grazing outside your tent
-
During the Annual Great Migration, you don’t have to go far to see thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River
-
The camp looks onto a beautiful marsh where elephants come to drink and buffaloes wallow
Rooms
There are only 17 tents, set around a large watering hole. Some are tucked away in the forest, while others sit further out towards the camp’s far boundary. Each tent has a double or twin beds, an en suite bathroom area, electric lamps, charge points for cameras and phones, and a deck that provides the perfect spot for relaxed wildlife viewing.
