Our 4th time to this camp, and each time it never fails to amaze, 4 days in january 2012. A new manager makes sure everyone of the staff is on their toes to ensure the best possible service, plus, always have time for a friendly chat. Julius Nzumbi of JT Safaris arranged our trip, he sorted the best viewing tent,... More

We arranged a one night stay at Governor's Camp through JT Safaris, flying from Diani Beach. The whole trip was superb, from the time JT picked us up from our hotel at 7.15am until the time we returned 4.30pm the next day. On arriving at Governor's we had lunch, time to check out our tent and freshen up and then... More

We stayed at the camp in December 2011 for 4 nights. They have absolutely everything you need to enjoy your safari experience. The laundry is f.o.c. which is done everyday. The staff bend over backwards to help, they played with the boys (6yrs and 8yrs) and were always smiling! The guide I would recommend is "Alfred" who is young, extremely... More
