  • Governors' Camp Collection is the oldest safari camp operator in whole Africa. After having an amazing weekend at Governors' Mugie House earlier this year, we decided to visit an other of their property, Little Governors' Camp in the Maasai Mara, Kenya.
    This safari camp offers an authentic safari experience. They have true canvas tents which are very cozy and the camp is completely unfenced allowing the animals, from warthogs to elephants to roam around freely. Seeing elephants walking between the tents truly adds to the experience!
    Otherwise, this camps offers everything you expect from a luxury safari camp like game drives in open vehicles, bush breakfasts, sundowners, 24/7 power and hot water, three course meals and FANTASTIC service.
    Get more info by visiting Governors' website:
