Is the Governors' Il Moran Camp for Me?
Il Moran Camp sits shaded by riverine forest along the banks of the Mara River in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. This intimate camp, with just ten luxury tents, creates a sense of seclusion while offering spacious interiors, elegant furnishings, and ensuite bathrooms with standalone bathtubs.
The main mess tent opens onto a raised wooden deck where you can watch hippos wallowing in the river below while enjoying freshly prepared meals. In-tent massages using natural products add a restorative touch to your stay, while the surrounding forest ensures peace and privacy. Other activities include bush breakfasts, picnic lunches, cultural visits to local Maasai communities and evening bush dinners.
Days are spent exploring the Mara on expertly guided game drives, where sightings of the Big Five and the seasonal wildebeest migration are frequent highlights. A bar, lounge area, reception, gift shop and a central sunken fire pit provide communal space for relaxing in the evenings.
Il Moran Camp is well suited to couples, honeymooners, and solo travellers seeking a secluded riverside retreat that combines comfort, attentive service, and extraordinary wildlife encounters.
