Governors' Il Moran Camp

Location

Governors' Il Moran Camp sits high along the top banks of the Mara River, tucked away in the natural thicket. The Governors' Camps arguably have the best location in the Mara, as there is an abundance of game all year round, heightened in the late summer months as the Great Migration pass through these plains and cross the infamous Mara River.

Layout

Tucked away in the shaded forest are Il Moran’s 10 tents, spread generously along the winding banks of the Mara River. The central area of Il Moran Camp consists of a cosy lounge area, a roaring campfire and more often than not, a beautiful white linen table set up for alfresco dining under the twinkling stars. The staff are extremely welcoming, and when its dark in the evenings, they will personally escort guests back to their tent.

Rooms

Il Morans' tents are very spacious, homing a stunning ‘super king’ wooden bed, a desk, an open wardrobe and a small day bed. The en-suites are truly enormous, connected to the bedroom with zipped flaps. They each have an open walk-in shower, a vanity unit with twin washbasins and a freestanding bronze bath, to give it the ultimate vintage touch.

Activities

The Governors' Camps combine the best locations, vehicles and guides to give the best game viewing experience in the world’s prime wildlife area. As an additional activity, the Governors Camps also offer their very own hot air balloon rides, which take off from the plains behind the camp. Taking off just before the sunrise, the balloon carefully hugs the meandering banks of the Mara River, with exceptional views over the Mara plains, the escarpment and the Serengeti in Tanzania.
