Governors’ Camp occupies the best wildlife viewing location in the Reserve, nestled in the riverine forest along the banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with birdlife, hippos and crocodiles. The entire camp is under canvas with all of the comforts of a luxury hotel. Some of the 30 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest, they enjoy views over the Mara River, and others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. All tents are classic safari style with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah.
Tucked away on the tranquil northeastern coast of Zanzibar, Matemwe Attitude offers a barefoot-luxury escape where time drifts as gently as the tide. Opposite lies the island of Mnemba, home to some of the region’s most breathtaking snorkelling, while traditional dhows glide across the lagoon, their white sails catching the breeze like whispers on the horizon. The resort’s architecture blends seamlessly with its surroundings, using raw, natural materials that echo the rhythm of the landscape. Set along an unspoilt stretch of beach, 74 spacious villas are scattered across 80,000 square meters of untouched nature—each with a private pool, soft ambient lighting, and open-air design that invites in the ocean breeze.
Opting for a swim-up villa with all-inclusive service elevates the experience even further: begin your day with a dip from your terrace, enjoy fresh seafood and Zanzibari flavours served with handcrafted cocktails, and let the world slip away as you drift between the pool and a hammock under the palms. This is Zanzibar at its most intimate, natural, and effortlessly indulgent.

The setting is truly magical—so much so that nearly a century ago, it was reserved exclusively for Kenya’s colonial governors. Today, Governors’ Main Camp still holds that sense of seclusion and grandeur, nestled in riverine forest along the winding Mara River, where hippos, crocodiles, and vibrant birdlife thrive. Located in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve, it offers a front-row seat to one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife spectacles.
