Governors Camps

Imagine getting married on the banks of the winding Mara River, home to the ‘big cats’ and an impressive selection of wild game. All this is possible with the world famous Governors’ Camp in the Masai Mara.

The Masai Mara is an extension of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and covers an area of approximately 1510 square kilometres. The word 'Mara' comes from the Masai people's and means 'spotted' or 'dappled' and refers to the acacia-dotted savannah of this area. The Masai Mara Game Reserve is arguably Kenya's most popular and famous game reserve because of the greatest wildlife spectacle that is enacted here each year. Beginning in June or July million of animals start their migration from the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania. The migration lasts for three to four months and reduces the Mara's plains grasses to the of a well mowed lawn. The herds then make their way south heading the hundreds of kilometres back to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro plains which have since been replenished by rains. It is here where the young are dropped in time to grow sufficiently strong to undertake the long march north six months later.
