Enjoy an exhilarating afternoon game drive starting around 3:30 pm, returning at dusk for drinks and casual conversation around the campfire before your dinner. Drift off to sleep accompanied by the enchanting night-time sounds of the Masai Mara at Little Governors' Camp.

For those seeking variety, a range of activities awaits – from game drives and visits to Masai villages to walking safaris. Alternatively, relish the wildlife unfolding by the river or indulge in our safari spa treatments at your leisure.
On the second day, elevate your experience with a truly unforgettable adventure – a hot air balloon journey with Governors' Balloon Safaris (please note that this is an additional cost) over the expansive Masai Mara plains. This enchanting journey commences just before dawn; depart from the camp at 5:15 am to reach the take-off site behind Little Governors' Camp.
The mesmerizing sunrise flight, lasting approximately one hour, provides unparalleled views, contingent on weather conditions. Upon landing, savour a delicious bush breakfast, freshly prepared on balloon burners amidst the vast Mara plains. Celebrate your return to Terra-Firma with your pilot over a glass of sparkling wine.
In the evening, return to your camp for a delightful dinner and spend the night at Little Governors' Camp.
