Governors Camp is probably the premium camp in the Mara. I have not stayed there but have safaried around it and the Serena.
Both locations are good for game viewing and access to the Mara River. The Serena is closer to the river but you will find hoards of mini buses at the Serena while Govenor's will be much less crowded.
I expect that Govenor's would be far more expensive too.
Our favorite camp in that area of the park is Mara Intrepids. Less expensive than Govenors but still a great location.
Governors camp is rated as one of the best and well reputed camp in the masai mara, not really luxurios but adventurers with modern facilities,it is in the same class with Mara intrepids Camp which has a great location also and Olare Safari Camp which is even more friendly, I have been been to all this places and like governors for game drives, Olare for hospitality and gamedrives as well and mara intrepids for being close to the animals,
