Governors' Camp: video gallery


Governors' Camp: picture gallery


The location of Governors' Camp brings it year-round popularity.
The camp has a great location between the Musiara marsh (east of these tents)…
…and the Mara River – here looking south across the first loop south of the camp.
The central areas at Governors' include the main dining tent…
…and the bar tent and its deck, on the river bank.
The bar has a good atmosphere and is quite a sociable hangout.
Governors' Camp also has a small shop - adding more of a lodge feel than other camps.
With a formal reception area, Govenors' is an extensive setup…
…and guests are always coming and going.
The tents themselves are traditional in style…
…and quite functional…
…but a good size.
They're homely rather than luxurious, but quite comfortable…
…with large beds and electricity available until 11pm.
The tents also have a small writing table and chair.
At the back of each tent, there's a good-sized, well planned bathroom.
The bathrooms are smartly finished…
…quite informal in layout, with flush loos and plumbed-in showers.
The rather jungly environment of Governors' Camp can be felt in nearly all the tents.
