We stayed in September 2011 and had yet another memorable Safari and a wonderful time at Little Governor’s Camp. The Camp is surrounded by a Lake... More

Great Team, Great location. Peter who runs the place is extremely helpful and friendly. His team is excellent. The setting is awesome. They churned out whatever food we asked and we liked. Great place and fantastic wildlife. The hippos in the waterhole are too noisy. Hyenas howl the whole night. All this added to the camping experience. Joseph - our... More

I'd never done a safari and, after staying at Little Governors Camp, I don't know if I could do one anywhere else. The staff was ridiculously helpful and actually knew our booking better than we did (we thought we left a day earlier then we actually did). We arrived on the main camp side and since it was the rainy... More

We had been to Governors Camp earlier and we really keen to try Little governor's. We planned a family holiday with our two kids, ages 10 and 5. It was a great experience, the location is fantastic. The camp has only 16 tents and it is on the banks of a watering hole. We flew in from Nairobi on the... More

We had a wonderful experience at Little Governors: idyllic location around the water hole, with hippos, baboons, Blossom the elephant, warthogs wandering around (and through!). The tents were super, comfortable and not overly fancy. Great food, and we loved the fire at night. Our safari guide was very knowledgeable and responsive to what we wanted to see. The staff and...

Little Governor’s Camp We drove to the Masai Mara game reserve from Kisumu. Only one flat tire along the way, changed with the assistance of a local shepherd. Little Governor’s Camp was easy to find; the check-in was complicated a bit by a misunderstanding about our booking, but the staff were very accommodating and solved the issue for us. The... More

Stayed in Little Govs as part of our second Honeymoon in Feb '12 after spending a few nights at Loldia House by Lake Naivasha. Everything booked through Trailfinders in Dublin. To cut to the chase everything that the other reviewers say here about Little Govs is true. While this was our first time on safari there is no doubt that... More

This was our first trip to Kenya and we feel blessed. Stunning location: execellent service, food and accomodation with staff who not do more to make you welcome and comfortable. Our driver, Maina was superb and we were lucky enough to see all the big five; just wish we had booked longer at the camp and will certainly be returning.... More

We stayed at the Camp many years ago and were positively surprised that the standards had been kept at such a high level. The tents are very functional, the service is superb and the ambiance is great. Our safari driver found all the animals for us, and there was ample space in the vehicles. It was great to have pic...
