Governors’ Private Camp

One might regard Governors’ Private Camp as the jewel in the Collection’s crown, and with good reason. Picked on a pristine spot by the Mara River where animals come to drink and take cooling dips, a sublime safari adventure awaits. A personalised experience is the trademark of Governors’ Private Camp with a warm and friendly team on hand to see to your every need. The whole camp can be exclusively booked for a large family or travelling party and so is perfect for a cosy group setting away from the clamour of more crowded destinations. Governors’ Private Camp is a much sought out location by tourists and wildlife alike, a place where two worlds converge.

Rekero Camp

Rekero is a traditional and romantic tented camp deep within the Maasai Mara National Reserve. From the north banks of the Talek River, Rekero boasts splendid views of the Great Migration herds making their river crossing, but there’s plenty of wildlife to see no matter when you visit! Commonly sighted animals on and around the camp have included elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, lions, serval, caracal, and gazelle. Visitors need not even leave their tents to relish the full experience of the animal kingdom that the Reserve has to offer. The camp’s 9 chic tents are also mindfully placed above the river, perching in the balance between tranquil privacy and communal hospitality.

Naibor Tented Camp

Naibor Camp is nestled in a small, peaceful stretch of woodland on the banks of the Talek River, where you can forget all about the hubbub of modern urban life. Here, there’s just you and the untainted wilderness. Naibor is made up of three interlaced tented camps, (Main) Naibor Camp, Little Naibor and Naibor Wilderness. Each has their own styles and perks that can accommodate a variety of budgets, while still maintaining the Naibor trademark combo of luxury and tasteful elegance. Both Little Naibor and Naibor Wilderness can be booked on an exclusive basis to allow for a more intimate and personal safari experience.

Sarara Camp

Sarara is one of Kenya’s most luxurious and beloved safari camps, residing in an area of unchallenged natural beauty and guaranteed to inspire. 6 deluxe tents and the two-bedroom Loimugi House have been meticulously placed to augment the stunning views of the Matthews Mountain Range and the frequently visited animal watering hole. Visitors here will find anything they could ever dream of having in their safari experience – vibrant wildlife, gorgeous surroundings, a unique and dynamic culture, and the forging of memories that will last a lifetime.

Sala’s Camp

Sala’s Camp is renowned for providing an authentic and understated safari experience, where guests will discover a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Unlike many other destinations in the Maasai Mara, this tented camp has brilliant views of both the Mara plains and the Serengeti National Park, and guests will be among the first to witness the annual Great Migration as it arrives in Kenya from Tanzania. Sala’s Camp prides itself on its warmth and hospitality, with a phenomenal team, many of whom come from local Maasai communities and grew up in perfect harmony with the wilderness. Although small, Sala’s Camp makes big impressions. The Mara is teeming with wildlife all year round. Elephant sightings are best between December and March, while the Great Migration begins in June and lasts until September, and the Big Cats tend to have their cubs around June and July.

Sarara Tree Camp

Sarara Tree Camp embodies the same vibrant atmosphere as its sister, Sarara Camp. Located in a forest glade within the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, Sarara Treehouses combines luxurious accommodation with wild adventure as wildlife roams the forest floor below. While only an hour’s walk or a 20 minute drive from its sister camp, Sarara Tree Camp feels like a world of its own, nestled in a verdant forest instead of on more open plains. This off the grid hideaway is entirely eco-friendly, ‘with every precaution and expense taken to preserve the natural habitat surrounding it.’ But what really makes Sarara Tree Camp special is the sense of culture and connection with the local Samburu people.

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje Meru

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje is a timelessly elegant lodge in an equally spectacular location within the Meru National Park. The bond between the two is a special one – the National Park was popularised by George and Joy Adamson, who authored a book about their experiences rehabilitating lions; the book was made into a film entitled ‘Born Free’ starring Virginia McKenna, who became one of the lodge’s founders, and the revenue made by Elsa’s Kopje single-handedly saved the Park from quite literally disappearing off the map. Blending seamlessly into the slopes of Mughwango Hill, Elsa’s Kopje is blessed with cinematic views of the Meru plains that guests can relish from the decks of their luxury cottages. As one of only 2 lodges in the Meru Park, guests can have an exclusive safari experience among some of the most diverse wildlife practically all to themselves!

Mfangano Island Camp

Besides the waters of Lake Victoria, hidden away the world, Mfangano Island Camp is a tranquil and rejuvenating paradise, the ideal retreat from the hassles of modern life. This luxury camp mirrors the lake shoreline and is surrounded with lush lawns, flowerbeds and rock gardens, where birds and lizards like to bask in the sun. Wake up in one of Mfangano Island Camp’s 6 cottages each morning to this serene vista and the melody of birdsong. Whether if you’re looking to set sail in search of otters or recline by the horizon pool in the shade of the towering fig trees, this hidden gem is the perfect place to unwind, especially to finish off a thrilling safari adventure.

Governors’ Mugie House

On a sweeping hill, Governors’ Mugie House overlooks the colourful landscape of the Laikipia plateau – golden savannah plains beneath azure skies, scatterings of acacia trees and olive forests that are home to bountiful numbers of buffalo, elephants, big cats, as well wildlife endemic in north Kenya such as Grevy’s Zebra, Jackson’s Hartebeet and Reticulated Giraffe. This chic safari lodge offers a fantastic range of activities and amenities from game drives to golfing to guided nature walks, making it the ideal destination for a full 360 experience. Set in the private Mugie Wildlife Conservancy, Mugie House embodies the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity, and expands on the already diverse selection of exceptional wildlife locations that characterises the safari adventure at the Governors’ Collection.

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

Deep in the Laikipia region, Ol Pejeta Bush Camp sits quietly along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, a peaceful and warmly welcoming safari camp. With just 7 guest tents, there’s great flexibility that allows your stay to be tailored just for you and the team are well known for going that extra mile. Ol Pejeta is a fantastic safari for families with their creatively designed Junior Ranger Programme to keep children entertained while also meaningfully engaging them with things like wildlife protection and nature conservation. Because of its location within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, visitors will be privy to some truly exceptional and awe-inspiring safari experiences, first and foremost the chance to see the last two white rhinos in the entire world.
