We stayed for 4 nights at Governors' Main Camp and had a great time, but it took a while to get used to the size of the camp. We are more used to (very) small safari camps and in comparison, Governors' is huge with some 37 tents! Arriving from the airstrip, you immediately see the parking lot filled with safari... more

Arrived at end of Sept 09 for a 3 night stay and after reading a few critical reviews we were very pleasantly surprised. Of course the tent is not hi tech luxury, it would lack atmosphere if it was. We had tent 27 on the river, patio with lovely view with chairs and table and lantern for nights, near amenities... more

During our trip to Kenya, we stayed at Aberdare Country Club and on the grounds of Lewa Conservatory, but Governor's Camp was the most amazing part of our trip. The service and food was good, and the game rides delivered all that was promised and more. I would also highly recommend the hot air balloon excursion, a spectacular view and... more

We had an amazing time at Governors. Saw all the big 5 (leopard at Crater Lake) and many more. Watched a crossing and literally saw 100's and 1000's of wildebeasts. The tents are amazing and the staff fantastic. We were treated to a Masai Blessing for our 25th anniversary - felt so privileged. Thank you to all at Governors -... more

Pros - sensational food (the best that I had in 2 weeks of safari), in general very professionally and smoothly run, great location within Masai Mara, hippos/elephants right outside our tent at night, very good service from general/waiter/housekeeping staff, comfortable accommodation, management was mostly good, I think it was good value as they had a special on (25% off). Cons... more

A friend who is working in Nairobi recommended the Governors Camp as he said 'when the BBC are filming in the area, that's where they stay'. It was a great choice. The food was ok, but not great and the tent (en-suite with proper beds) was a little past its best, but we were there to see the wildlife. We... more

We were 3x couples who stayed in Governors for 4 nights...what an experience! From our arrival up to leaving we had a fantastic time. The tents are basic but very clean and well maintained considering it's in the heart of Africa! Don't expect the Hilton, it's a tented camp and nature will make up for the lost detail.. The satff... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the Governors Camp for my brothers wedding, the attention to detail was amazing, they couldn't have done any more for us. The staff are fabulous and friendly, guides are very knowledgable and the game drives were superb. Elephants strolling through the tents at nights, crocs in the river, hippos keeping us awake at night,... more

Was here for one night before transferring to Il Moran. It's hard to fault the camp: the tents are clean, the location within the park is excellent, the staff is helpful, the food is ok. However, it is rather large (37 tents) and so it can be a bit of a zoo: service is not particularly customised, there's very limited... more
