Discover the Magic of Kenya with Our Premium Lodges and Camps
Governors’ Il Moran Camp is small and intimate, with added touches that place this camp at the top of the safari accommodation range. This is the camp for those who want that extra bit of luxury.
Hidden under ancient trees deep in the forest, are just ten tents which line the winding banks of the Mara River. Hippos wallow in the river waters below, elephants wander through camp and the night time is punctuated by hyena whoops and lion calls.
Each tent enjoys a private location from which to enjoy the beautiful and serene setting. The rooms are expansive and furnished to a superior standard. Beautiful recycled old wood furniture and muted natural tones are a natural extension of the environment around. Each stylish bathroom boasts a Victorian style bath, while a large verandah at the front is designed for relaxing in comfort within the peaceful surroundings.
Meals are served on the raised wooden decking of the main mess and dining tent which offers a bird’s eye view of the snorting hippos below. The main feature is a sunken fire pit which is lit with hot coals in the evenings – the perfect spot to sit back with a cocktail of your choice. Tales shared around the campfire are not uncommon, but neither is escaping into your own intimate and romantic safari getaway.
We’ve kept Governors’ Il Moran small and intimate, with added touches that place this camp at the top of the safari accommodation range. You’ll be the personal guest of our manager who will look after all your needs.
Governors’ Il Moran Camp is small and peaceful – the ideal camp for honeymooners and couples who are looking for a very special safari experience, or even families with older children. This camp has been awarded a Gold Eco Rating by Eco-Tourism Kenya, for our sustainable tourism practices in place.
Governors’ Il Moran Camp has ten vast, luxurious tents that feature super ‘king size’ beds fashioned from ancient fallen olive trees, and Victorian style baths. Il Moran is an ideal camp for honeymooners and couples who are looking for a very special safari experience.
Il Moran combines the best location in the Masai Mara with the best-designed Landcruisers that seat a maximum of 4 guests and exceptionally highly trained and experienced guides to give our clients un-matched game-viewing and photographic opportunities in the world’s prime wildlife area.
We are in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Masai Mara. We take you out twice a day into the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve and surrounding areas. Our driver-guides are hand-picked and nurtured by us. They undergo a continuous guide training scheme mentored by experts in the field. Having operated in the Masai Mara for 50 years, our driver-guides have an un-paralleled knowledge of the reserve combined with a deep understanding and respect for the importance of this wilderness area, its flora and its fauna.
For those looking for an adventure of a different kind, we suggest a magical hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara.
The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a launch site just 15 minutes drive away. Guests assemble at the launch site for a briefing as the flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. As the dawn breaks, the hot air balloon fills and then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.
What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness – the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara.
After about an hour or so, your balloon safari finishes with a flourish. In the time-honoured tradition of balloon flights the world over, toast your return to earth with sparkling wine and enjoy a delicious breakfast that is set up and served at a very special spot. The experience ends with a game drive back to your camp.
For a very unique experience, enjoy the excitement of a bush dinner in the wild.
You will arrive at a special secluded location on the banks of the Mara river. A welcoming drink awaits by the warming campfire, followed by a delicious meal prepared by our Bush chefs, served under the stars, with the soft lights of safari lanterns and accompanied by the sounds of the African night and the grunting Mara river hippos.
Bush dinners are a non-inclusive activity. You can book these in advance or while staying with us. Bush breakfasts are also available.
