{"product_id":"governors-camp","title":"Governors' Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four canvas tents sit on the Mara River inside the Masai Mara National Reserve, with hippos and crocodiles in the water below the verandahs year-round. The river draws game to it continuously, and the camp has occupied this site since 1972 — the earliest permanent tented camp of its kind established in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tents divide across three categories. Nineteen luxury tents — twins and doubles — look directly over the Mara River, each with an en-suite bathroom and a private verandah. Five family tents sit back in the riverine forest with views across the open plains; each connects a double room and a twin through a central living area. The Justus Suite occupies a bend of the river and is configured for two guests. A bar deck and dining tent look out over the same water and plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuides take guests out twice daily in custom-designed vehicles. The camp sits inside the migration corridor, so wildebeest, zebra and gazelle cross the Mara River during the annual movement between the Serengeti and the Mara. Hot-air balloon flights depart before dawn from a launch site behind the adjacent Little Governors' Camp. Bush dinners are served on the riverbank; sundowners are included in the nightly rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEco-Tourism Kenya has recognised the camp's sustainability practices with its Gold rating. Visits to community projects — including Mara Rianda Primary School and Mara Rianda Medical Centre — can be arranged at no additional charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- plk-tmpl-cb 2026-07-31T09:26:40.150Z --\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43528655339579,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/154131773046392001elephants-in-camp-3jpg_37168ab8-3a74-4a5c-b153-0175bcc9f54a.webp?v=1779181746","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/products\/governors-camp","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
