Governors Camp
Governors’ Camp Collection is the pioneer of the luxury safari experience, having created Governors’ Camp on the banks of the Mara River as early as 1972. You can rest assured that you are fully immersed in the heart of the action, in the best game-viewing areas of the Masai Mara, Laikipia and the Great Rift Valley in Kenya.

QUICK INSIGHTS

The location of the camp was considered so good that during colonial times it was reserved for the colonial Governors of Kenya, hence the name Governors’ Camp.
