Open-spaces, sunshine and fresh air is an excellent environment for avoiding Covid-19, making a safari one of the best activities to indulge in at this time.
At Governors’ we have assembled a Covid-19 Response Committee whose job it is to oversee our procedures, operations and the guest experience – ensuring health and safety are at the forefront. The team is headed by Dr Romi Grammaticas, Governors’ co-founder and UK-qualified GP, with representatives at all levels of operations and departments engaged to ensure smooth implementation in each property.
This document outlines the minimum of the policies and procedures we have in place for the safety of our guests and our staff. Please find a PDF version of the document here for download.
Our team and responsiveness is designed to be agile and adaptive, monitoring and working with the latest available information from the WHO and government authorities. As such, practices indicated below may be adapted and changed as the situation evolves, with this document live and subject to change.
