Located on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, Little Governors 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 Camp have wooden decks with large verandahs, and guests can enjoy the constant game activity around the marsh in front of the camp.
Little Governors’ Camp has 17 tents situated in a wide curve around a small marsh. The marsh acts as a magnet for game in the dry season and sitting in camp you can often see buffalo grazing or elephants coming to drink. Beyond the marsh, the plains stretch toward the escarpment.
Each tent is comfortable and has a covered outdoor veranda with two safari chairs and a small table. Inside, simple furnishings include twin beds, a wardrobe rack, a desk/dressing table, and safari chairs. The en suite bathrooms have hot showers and WC. Screened windows let in light and air during the day and are covered at night (although if you want the blinds left up to enjoy the stars and breeze it is possible).
Little Governors Camp runs on solar power and has been awarded a GOLD Eco-Rating from Eco-Tourism Kenya due to its sustainable tourism practices in the camp.
