9 Days Governors Experience

On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you will be warmly welcomed by a member of our team, who will transfer you to Macushla House and assist you at check in. The rest of your day will be spent at Leisure. All meals will be provided at Macushla House.

Macushla House is a delightful, good-value guest house, in a very quiet, pleasant location, and has been popular with our travellers for many years. The house having only six rooms makes it easy – if you're a solo traveller, or just like mixing – to meet others and share experiences. The pool is lovely on a hot afternoon and the always-open bar and excellent menu of snacks and main dishes are fine assets. Similar to its neighbours in the Karen area, this hotel benfits from being closely located near the main attractions such as the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum, which relates the escapades of this famous author.

After breakfast, you will be transferred via road to Mugie Wildlife conservancy in Laikipia region. Upon arrival you will be assisted with check in procedures into Governors Mugie House. Set on a private conservancy, Governors’ Mugie House offers a myriad of activities by which to explore and enjoy Laikipia’s vast open landscapes and rare northern rangeland species. Perched on a hill are eight stone cottages, each with sweeping views of the Laikipia landscape. A large main house with open log fires hosts guests for relaxing cocktails and scrumptious meals, prepared from a creative menu with ingredients sourced from own vegetable garden. An infinity pool offers lovely shaded areas and a casual alfresco dining area, while a waterhole set in front of Governors’ Mugie House attracts a variety of wildlife that comes to drink. Guests can also make the most of Mugie Conservancy’s nine-hole golf course, which is perfect for enjoying a round between travel companions or alongside other golf-loving enthusists. When you're ready for adventure, there are guided bush walks to spot reticulated giraffe and sundowners on the plains - and you'll be pleased to know that the wildlife sightings are always astonishing and action-packed.

After your early morning bush breakfast, you will be transferred via road to Lake Naivasha. On arrival you will be transferred to Loldia House - With stunning views of the dormant Mount Longonot volcano and the sprawling landscape of the Great Rift Valley, Loldia House offers the perfect setting to embark on a quintessential Kenyan exploration. Beautifully-appointed ensuite rooms are housed in an old family home or in quaint cottages scattered on the grounds. The main house boasts four ensuite rooms, while the three cottages vary in their room offering and location; from a garden or lakeshore setting to high on a hillside.

Adventures abound at Loldia House. Guests can enjoy a variety of cultural and traditional safari activities such as twice-daily game drives, boating safaris on Lake Naivasha, nature walks, community trips and a visit to the Joy Adamson Museum.

After an early breakfast, you will hit the road as you leave the picturesque rift valley and head out to the world famous Maasai Mara. On arrival, you will check into the Little Governors Camp. Little Governors’ is intimate in character, with just 17 luxury en-suite tents tucked around a large watering hole teeming with both birds and wildlife. Located on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, the camp is accessed by a very short boat ride across the Mara River, then an escorted walk through the riverine forest. Vehicles are left on the far river bank and the camp is therefore quiet and undisturbed. The guest tents at Little Governors’ have wooden decks with large verandahs for guests to enjoy the constant game activity that takes place around the marsh in front of camp.

Breakfast and lunch are served in the open air, and the resident families of warthogs frequently wander amongst the tables. Since all Governors’ properties are unfenced, all kinds of wildlife visit the camp and guests may need to make way for elephants which often visit during lunch time! In the evening, a warming log fire burns in front of the bar tent, and a candlelit dinner is served in the nearby dining tent.

After breakfast and morning activities, guests are transferred by road back to Nairobi airport in time for their onward travel arrangements.
