Little Governor's Camp

On the edge of the Mara River, surrounded by visiting elephants, Little Governors’ Camp is one of only two places to stay in the Mara Triangle sector of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Getting to Little Governors’ Camp , ferrying thru a narrow river and 50 steps (even but rather steep) on each side of the river bank: this is not a camp for   those who would struggle with climbing three flights of stairs.

The camp’s central areas conform very much to the formula of the main Governors’ Camp, with large, canvas-sheltered lounge and dining areas featuring open sides and tiled floors. The 17 identical tents (in size and appearance) at Little Governors’ Camp stretch out along the edge of the marsh. The plinth of each tent is laid with polished floorboards, a covering that extends, with the odd rug, through the bedroom area. Like Governors’ Camp, the furnishings are simple – directors’ chairs, a folding veranda table, a luggage rack, a small dressing/writing table – and the furniture gives a more temporary impression than is warranted by the very permanent camp infrastructure, which has been here since the late 1970s.
