Little Governor’s Camp
Little Governor’s Camp is one of the Governors’ Group of properties, well known for their exclusivity and quality of service. Access to the camp is in a small rowing boat, across a river, an exciting way to arrive at this superb little camp. The camp consists of seventeen large, airy tents each with their own en suite bathroom. Relax on your private verandah as wildlife makes it way down to drink at the small lake in front of the lodge. Your room steward ensures your comfort and every morning wakes you with tea, coffee, ginger biscuits and croissants to sustain you during your early morning game drive. Setting off at dawn you watch the mists slowly lift to reveal the rolling plains dotted with their wide variety of plains game and maybe a pride of lion or herd of elephant in the distance.
You may like to take a balloon journey over the plains at dawn from the launch site beside the camp. Float over the plains threaded with the dark green ribbon of the Mara River as game meanders in every direction below you. On landing a gourmet balloonist’s breakfast is served, cooked over the balloon’s gas burner, and washed down with champagne. Return to the camp with a game drive en route.
Breakfast awaits your return from game drives and is served under the trees on buffet tables groaning with platters of fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals and breads whilst the chef cooks your eggs to order. After this feast you can opt to go on another exploration in the reserve, where you have every chance of spotting the Big Five, or relax in camp and enjoy the amazing variety of birdlife before sitting down to an al fresco lunch.
Your afternoon game drive starts at approximately three thirty and continues until sunset, so spectacular in the Mara, and possibly longer if you are following some exciting action. Return to camp for a hot shower before sundowners around the campfire. A sumptuous four-course dinner served amidst the sounds of an African night rounds off a perfect day.
