This luxury 4 Day Fly In Safari to the Masai Mara in Kenya, takes guests on an unforgettable safari to this world renowned game reserve. The Masai Mara, now the new 7th wonder of the world and 4th most preferred tourist destination in the world is a home to wildlife in such abundance and variety that is hard to imagine. The annual migration of the wildebeest and the zebras start from the Serengeti as they search for water and pasture while at the same time being followed on their heels by the predators of the savannah; lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures. It hosts over 450 species of animals which includes lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephants.

The setting is magical at the Governors Camp. So much so that almost a century ago it was reserved, exclusively, for Kenya’s colonial Governors. Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, it’s waters teeming with bird-life, hippo and crocodile, in the heart of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve.

Some of the 37 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest they enjoy uninterrupted views over the Mara River, others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. Created in 1972 Governors’ Camp set new standards in luxury for a tented camp. Today it’s still Africa’s best.

Everything is under canvas, all tents have en-suit bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flushing toilets. There is a bar tent with deck overlooking the Mara River and dinning tent with views over the plains.

Governors Camp has just been awarded a Silver Eco Rating from Eco- Tourism Kenya due to our sustainable tourism practices in place in camp.

Rain, when it falls almost always chooses the late afternoon or night. Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration is in the Masai Mara National Reserve, the sensation is unparalleled.

Weather

Kenya's weather and climate offer a diverse and captivating experience for travelers throughout the year. Located near the equator, the country enjoys a predominantly tropical climate, making it a year-round destination. Coastal regions, like Mombasa and Diani, boast warm and humid conditions, perfect for beach lovers, with temperatures averaging around 30°C (86°F). Inland areas, including Nairobi, experience a more temperate climate, characterized by cooler nights and pleasant daytime temperatures, often hovering around 20-25°C (68-77°F). The best time to visit Kenya's renowned wildlife reserves, such as the Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Park, is during the dry season from June to October when animals gather around water sources for prime safari viewing. However, those seeking lush landscapes and baby animals should consider the wetter months from November to May. Kenya's climate caters to a wide range of interests, promising a memorable experience for every traveler.
