\nTo enhance and complete the services of Governors’ Camp in the Masai Mara Game Reserve,
\nwe are pleased to offer Governors’ Private Camp. As the name suggests, this camp is available for the exclusive use of individual groups. It is their own \u201cprivate camp\u201d.<\/p>\n\n Governors’ Private Camp has all the assets of an individually tailored mobile safari, with the added bonus
\nof the highly specialised experience and back-up of Governors’ Camp.<\/p>\n\n The professional and well-established infrastructure that operates behind the scenes makes it possible for us to offer the full services and facilities of Governors\u2019 Camp to Governors\u2019 Private Camp throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n Our Executive Chef is responsible for planning the menus at Private Camp and for ensuring that the food is of the highest possible quality.<\/p>\n\n We have gone to great lengths to maintain the traditional safari atmosphere and the comforts that have
\nbeen incorporated do not in any way detract from this concept.<\/p>\n\n Governors’ Private Camp can be booked by individual clients, or by small parties, who want the exclusivity
\nof a private safari camp without the daunting costs normally associated with this degree of luxury.<\/p>\n\n We cater for up to 16 people, in beautifully appointed and luxurious tents which we have developed through the years and now adapted, without any compromise, for our Governors’ Private Camp.<\/p>\n\n The Masai Mara is a unique area with a constant and unrivalled flow of wildlife throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n From July to October the Mara becomes a backdrop for one of the last great natural wonders of the world, when 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra surge up from the Serengeti plains in their annual search for the
\nseasonal grasses that sustain them.<\/p>\n\n The spectacle as the vast herds cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is punctuated by individual struggles with the predators, which are in turn drawn to take their part in this dramatic event.<\/p>\n\n Whilst the migration is spectacular, game viewing at all other times of the year remains almost unrivalled anywhere in Africa.<\/p>\n\n There are various activities on offer: game viewing excursions in open vehicles, game walks or balloon
\nflights over the wide plains of the Masai Mara.<\/p>\n\n Day excursions to the Lake Victoria are also on offer. We recommend that clients book this excursion well in advance and combine the Lake Victoria trip with an overnight stay at Mfangano Island Camp.<\/p>\n\n All meals, drinks (except champagne), three game viewing excursions daily, game walks as well as laundry
\nare included in our price.<\/p>\n\n Park entrance fees, as well as other activities (such as ballooning, the Lake Victoria excursion, a visit to a Masai village) are to be paid in addition to the rate.<\/p>\n\n Please announce special dietary requirements to us in advance.<\/p>\n\n Please note: luggage restriction of 15 kg on all domestic flights. Extra luggage can be left at your base
\nhotel in Nairobi.
