Governors' IL Moran Camp  

Hidden under ancient trees on the winding banks of the Mara River in the Maasai Mara, this intimate tented safari camp sits a stone’s throw from the Mara Triangle. You're a short drive from Musiara Gate and the Maasai Mara National Reserve, with nearby light-airstrips for easy arrivals.

Just ten handcrafted tents line the riverbank, each with a private patio and river views. Interiors pair dark chunky wood with oversized blue couches, beaded chandeliers, tribal portraits and African artefacts. Meals are served on a raised wooden decking with hippo-watching below, and evenings revolve around a sunken fire pit. Small, peaceful and eco-conscious—this is a safari camp built for couples, honeymooners, or families with older kids.

World-class game viewing is effectively on your doorstep, with guided safari adventures offered. On-site highlights include a restaurant, bar/lounge, a massage room and transfers for guests. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily. There’s also free parking and a gift shop/newsstand — wake up to river-breeze mornings and the sounds of the Mara.

Practical services include dry cleaning and laundry, luggage storage and safe-deposit boxes. Wireless internet access is available to help you stay connected.

Dining is a highlight — meals served on the raised mess deck give a front-row view of the river and hippos. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM. The restaurant focuses on local cuisine, with limited-hour room service and an evening bar to cap the day.
