The professional and well-established infrastructure that operates behind the scenes makes it possible for us to offer the full services and facilities of Governors’ Camp to Governors’ Private Camp throughout the year.
Our Executive Chef is responsible for planning the menus at Private Camp and for ensuring that the food is of the highest possible quality.

We have gone to great lengths to maintain the traditional safari atmosphere and the comforts that have been incorporated do not in any way detract from this concept.

We cater for up to 16 people, in beautifully appointed and luxurious tents which we have developed through the years and now adapted, without any compromise, for our Governors` Private Camp.
