The setting is magical. So much so that almost a century ago, it was reserved exclusively for Kenya's colonial Governors and their Royal visitors.
Now Governor's Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with hippo and crocodile.
The entire camp is under canvas, with all of the luxuries of a luxury hotel. Some of the stunning new 38 tents line the picturesque riverbank; others have views of herds of elephant, zebra and gazelle grazing on the sweeping plains. All are in the classic safari style, spacious and tasteful, with en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, flushing toilets, even bidets.
Guests every whim can be satisfied, be it game drives, walking safaris or hot air ballooning with a champagne breakfast. The Mara is the most magnificent natural wildlife theater in the world, being home to prolific amounts of game, including the Wildebeest migration and the Big Five.
Each morning a breakfast feast is prepared over blazing coals: mountains of bacon, eggs the way you like them, fresh milk flown-in daily, hot-baked croissants, exotic fruits, and freshly-brewed Kenya coffee. Lunch, like breakfast is a buffet, this time roast meats hot and cold, fresh salads and delicious desserts. Both meals are served on the shady riverbank with views across the Mara's plains.
