Governors' Main Camp

Governors’ Camp is the Masai Mara's most established safari camp and has a location that is hard to beat. On the banks of the Mara River it witnesses some spectacular river crossings during the wildebeest migration between July and October.

Wildebeest Migration

A rotating swarm of millions, The Great Migration, a year long journey instinctively made by wildebeest following Africa’s rains to graze on the new grasses it leaves behind. Get the timing right and you’ll witness an astonishing spectacle.

The thundering mass of wildebeest, bounding across plains and rivers dotted with the more than occasional zebra, gazelle and eland is awe-inspiring. The sheer volume attracts countless predators on the hunt for the young or injured; lions, hyenas, wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs and crocodiles are often nearby. Exploring both Serengeti and Masai Mara, home to giraffes, buffalo, rhinos and hippos this is an incomparably bountiful safari adventure.

We can advise on every aspect of your trip. From most helpful guides to how long to stay (which by the way is as long as possible).

Challenge an Africa specialist to design a bespoke wildebeest migration safari holiday with you in mind.
