Little Governors Camp

We just loved this amazing property in the heart of the Masai Mara National Park. The tents were extremely comfortable and very clean - It had every amenity and the staff were just exceptional. The manager Hillary and his team Helen, Stella, Geoffrey, Monica were just fabulous and took care of us like family. Our safari guide Jackson was extremely knowledgeable, we saw the Big 5 with him and he also organised our picnics like no other!…Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and our memorable stay!

We stayed at Little Governors for a week, which some people may think is too long but I’d have happily stayed for much longer. After a delay leaving Edinburgh, we were 24 hours late in arriving but it was absolutely worth it. Hillary greeted us on arrival, where we were also give a much needed welcome drink and our Governors Camp water bottle. It was straight to tent number 1 before heading off to meet our guide for the week as we ventured on our first afternoon game drive. We were with Koros for the week and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We saw everything, including the black rhino and elusive serval cat. . He is so knowledgeable, patient, and great company. I will definitely be asking for him again when we go back. We had Duncan and Felix as our waiters for the week too who were both wonderful and very friendly. Nothing was too much for them. The food was incredible, catering well for both vegetarian and carnivores. I did ask for smaller portions towards the end of the week as I was struggling to eat everything. The choice and quality of the wine on offer was great, the rose wine in particular is delicious. The tent was very comfortable and well equipped. It was Valentine’s Day and my Birthday when we were there, both marked by lovely little gestures including flowers, love heart chocolates, and a cake for my 40th. We also had a massage, which was lovely even if the warthogs were having a noisy squabble nearby but it’s all part of the experience! You can safari on both sides of the river, which gives you plenty options and area for finding wildlife. I couldn’t really say which was better for sightings, they each have their benefits. Overall, our stay was superb. You’ll never go wrong staying at Little Governors, it was somewhere I’d been looking at for a long time before we eventually decided to book and I’m so glad we did. It was the holiday of a lifetime and one we’re looking forward to repeating in future.

Felt like home. From the warmest welcome and the biggest smiles, to the sweet wake up calls, it was a perfect experience. The staff was exceptional, and the camp is stunning. I enjoyed a massage on my porch with Catherine one afternoon with elephants looming in the background. MAGIC. The food was divine, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. They have a fire pit social hour at sunset, and it was a fabulous way to meet others enjoying a safari from all over the world. My sweet tent was simply perfect- and they place a hot water bottle in your bed at night so you melt right into the bed. Without a doubt, I will be coming back and I highly recommend this place. Ask for Jackson for your safari guide! In love with this place.

Everything we experienced while at Little Governers' was amazing! The hospitality was exceptional! They treated us all in a way that made us feel so special. The children loved their experience as well as the adults! I would highly recommend Little Governers' to anyone looking to do a safari.

The Masai Mara is beautiful and teaming with incredible wildlife but what makes little governors so special is the warm welcome afforded by the staff. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and kind and can’t do enough for you, particular shout out to our waiter George and to the security guards who get you safely from a to b. Our guide Jackson was also incredibly knowledgeable and made the drives so interesting. We would highly recommend.

Loved it all. Kenyan staff so warm, smart and friendly. Entire experience, incredible all around. I went with my friends and my son. We enjoyed each other wonderful stories around delightful dinner. Incredible game hunting and very knowledgeable drivers and guides. I’ve been on a balloon in the past, but this was unbelievable. We saw 12 lion resting in the sun, one cub bothering everybody.
