Governors Camp In Masai Mara Kenya

For millions around the world, the drama of the Masai Mara, the epic hunts of the Marsh Pride of lions, the solitary grace of the leopard, the lightning speed of the cheetah, was brought to life by the BBC’s legendary Big Cat Diary. For those who dreamed of stepping into that world, there is only one destination: Governors’ Camp. This is not just a camp in Masai Mara; it is the historic nerve centre and original filming base for the series, a hallowed ground for wildlife lovers, and indisputably one of the most iconic masai mara places to stay.

Location of Governs Camp

The reason Governors’ Camp Masai Mara was chosen by the world’s best wildlife filmmakers is simple,  its location is unparalleled. Nestled in a riverine forest on the banks of the Mara River, the camp provides direct access to the Musiara Marsh and its surrounding plains. This is the very stage where the stories of iconic big cats unfolded. A stay here means you are not just a spectator; you are exploring the territories of the famous prides and cheetah families, guided by experts who know their stories intimately. The year-round density of wildlife is staggering, offering a safari experience that feels like a living, breathing documentary.

Accommodation at Governs Camp

Your accommodation is a classic, spacious safari tent, offering an authentic “under canvas” experience that immerses you in the sights and sounds of the Mara. The camp features approximately 30 tents, including configurations for families and a luxurious safari suite. Each tent is a private sanctuary with an en-suite bathroom, hot running water, and a veranda offering magnificent views over the plains or the Mara River. It’s your comfortable and elegant backstage pass to the greatest wildlife show on Earth.
