Governors’ Camp - Masai Mara
Place:
Masai Mara, Kenya
Placemakers:
Aris and Romi Grammaticas
Ethos:
The first and original permanent, luxury tented camp in Africa.
Deliberately unfenced so as to create no barrier between the camp and the wildlife, Governors’ Camp is nestled in the riverine forest along the winding banks of the Mara River. If you want to experience the best of what a safari in the Masai Mara has to offer, this place is for you. With spectacular scenery and thrilling animal experiences, Governors’ Camp is revisited by guests who find its consistent excellence, incredible location, personal style, and family atmosphere a ‘home’ to return to, again and again.
All guest tents are canvas, preserving the authentic, traditional safari experience. Daily meals are enjoyed al fresco under the shade of the forest trees. And at night, guests are treated to the orchestral sounds of the bush, while grazing animals brush up against the tents.
This camp has been awarded a GOLD Eco Rating by Eco-Tourism Kenya for their sustainable tourism practices in place.
