An Intimate Safari Experience on the Mara River

Tucked beneath a canopy of ancient trees on the edge of the Mara River, Governors’ Il Moran Camp is one of the Maasai Mara National Reserve’s most exclusive safari camps. Enjoy an intimate, low-impact stay in one of Kenya’s best wildlife-viewing areas – ideal for couples, honeymooners, solo travellers and families.

From the nearby Musiara Airstrip – just a 45-minute flight from Nairobi and a short drive to camp – you will head out on up to three game drives per day, occasionally to the Mara Triangle. The region around the camp is known for its resident Big 5, abundant birdlife and its location on the route of the Great Migration (July to October). Optional extras include hot air balloon safaris, bush breakfasts and visits to nearby Maasai communities. Il Moran is proudly Gold Eco-Rated by Ecotourism Kenya for its strong commitment to sustainability, responsible tourism and positive local impact, making this camp ideal for travellers looking to experience the Maasai Mara in comfort without compromising on authenticity or proximity to nature.

Each spacious tent features a super king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom with a standalone bathtub and shower and a private veranda with river views – perfect for watching hippos and other wildlife right from your doorstep. In the heart of the camp, you’ll find you easily sink into the stylish oversized sofas as you unwind after a day of adventure. Meals are served on the raised wooden deck overlooking the river, and evenings are best spent around the sunken fire pit with a cocktail in hand. In-tent spa treatments using 100% natural products offer a further touch of indulgence.
