GOVERNOR’S CAMP Class ★★★★★

Governor’s Camps operates a number of properties in Kenya and Rwanda, and their flagship is the famous Governor’s Camp in the Masai Mara. This magnificent luxury tented lodge is situated perfectly on the banks of the Mara River, which is filled with bird and animal life. Hippos, crocodiles, and all manner of grazers and predators make their way down to the water at sunrise and sunset, only a stone’s throw away from the camp.

Directions

The easiest way to get to Governor’s Camp Kenya is to fly to Nairobi airport and then catch a scheduled flight by small aircraft, or book seats on one of the many chartered flights that go to the area.  Alternatively the drive is an incredibly scenic 630km, which is an incredible experience but will take most of a day.  A GPS device is recommended, as roads are not always well signposted.
