Governors Camp Private Camp

Governors Camp is in a magical setting. So much so that almost a century ago, it was reserved exclusively for Kenya’s Colonial Governors and their Royal visitors. Now Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with Hippo and Crocodile. The tents are in the classic safari-style, spacious and tasteful. Some tents line the riverbank, others have views across the sweeping plains. Each has its own en-suite bathroom with constant hot and cold running water, flushing toilets, even bidets. Every morning a breakfast feast is prepared over blazing coals. Lunch is served on the shady riverbank. Miles away from civilization, Governors’ cordonbleu dinners, by candlelight under canvas, are a truly magical, unforgettable experience.

Little Governor's Camp

Set across the Mara River in an open glade with spectacular views of the plain's and Mara escarpment guests are accommodated in seventeen spacious walk in tents with en suite facilities. Friendly yet private with abundant wildlife often encountered wandering through camp. Balloon safaris launch from the camp each morning. Activities include game drives in the Masai Mara. The reserve is a major concentration area of migratory herbivores including approximately 250,000 zebra and 1.3 million wildebeest. There are also gazelle, elephant, topi, buffalo, lion (Kenya's largest population), black rhino, hippo, hyena, giraffe, leopard, and mongoose.

Mara Intrepids camp

The Mara Intrepids Club is located in the center of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, on the banks of the Talek River near one of the main migration crossings. With a maximum capacity of only forty-four persons, the accent is on exclusivity and comfort. Newly designed tents easily accommodate twin or full size four poster beds and include refinements not provided in other camps. The furnishings reflect the "Grand Safari" style of bygone days, coupled with modern amenities. The full bathroom, an integral part of each tent, includes private flush toilet, shower and electricity. The tents face the river and pathways lead from the rear to other parts of the camp, providing additional privacy. Gameviewing is provided in open four-wheel drive vehicles to enhance the experience. Drivers are well schooled in the art of avoiding high density mini-bus circuits and navigating the less accessible unspoiled areas of the reserve.

Mara Safari Club

The luxurious Mara Safari Club is set in the Ol-Choro Oiroua Conservation Area, bordering the Masai Mara Game Reserve, at the foot of the Aitong Hills. Surrounded on three sides by the Mara River, all tents have their own private river frontage, with four-poster beds, verandah, electricity, modern en suite facilities with hot and cold running water. The main building, with lounge, bar and dining room, is cantilevered over the river. Game drives, guided by our experienced "driver-naturalists", are by four-wheel-drive Land Cruisers. At the Club, the pool, al fresco buffet lunches and nightly activities of Maasai dancing, slide shows and talks on the Mara's ecosystem and Maasai culture, all add up to create a truly unique experience.

Mara Serena Lodge

No other lodge has such a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape or the game and birdlife that inhabits it. It is this very terrain stretching endlessly before the lodge where the annual migration takes place, when millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traverse the landscape to feed on the rich new grass and give birth to their young. Accommodations consist of seventy four twin rooms, all of which have private bath, shower, and toilet.
