Located on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, the camp is accessed by a very short boat ride across the Mara River and an escorted walk through the riverine forest. Vehicles are left on the far river bank, and the camp is, therefore, quiet and undisturbed. The guest tents at Little Governors have wooden decks with large verandahs, and guests can enjoy the constant game activity around the marsh in front of the camp.

Breakfast and lunch are served in the open air, and the resident families of warthogs frequently wander past the main deck. Since our Mara camps are unfenced, all kinds of wildlife visit the camp, and guests may need to make way for elephants, who often visit during lunchtime! In the evening, a warming log fire burns in front of the bar tent, and a candlelit dinner is served in the dining tent.

We offer a range of massages using 100% natural products by The Wild Herb Company. These can be done in the privacy and comfort of your tent. Please take a look at the treatment list here.
