Virgin Holidays View
Almost a century ago, the Governors' Camp location was reserved for Kenya's colonial governors accommodation and their royal visitors. Today, it's known as the home of the '
Big Cat Diaries', a first-class destination, setting new standards in luxury and enjoying a magical setting on the Mara River, teeming with hippo and crocodile. Spend your day in the reserve spotting the 'Big Five' and evenings sipping cocktails around the campfire and dining by candlelight.
