Overview
camp grounds

 Nestled in the serene Riverine Forest on the outskirts of Masai Mara Reserve, Little Governors’ Camp beckons with a unique charm. Positioned around a bustling watering hole and near the Mara River, it boasts stunning vistas of the Olololo Escarpment. Accessible via a short boat ride followed by a guided walk through the forest, the camp ensures a tranquil and undisturbed atmosphere – vehicles are left on the opposite river bank.

Intimacy defines this retreat, with just 17 luxury tents featuring wooden decks that offer front-row seats to constant wildlife activity. Here, guests indulge in a classic safari experience amidst excellent wildlife encounters right at their doorstep. This area of the Maasai Mara is renowned for its prime spots to witness the thrilling river crossings during the migration.

Operating solely on solar power, Little Governors’ Camp is celebrated by Eco-Tourism Kenya for its commitment to sustainable tourism practices. While luxurious, the camp exudes a subtle elegance through its simple and unassuming décor, allowing nature to take center stage.
