STAY with us at
Il Moran Camp
Il Moran is widely regarded as one of the premier camps in the Masai Mara, with the best game viewing right on your doorstep.
Il Moran is small and peaceful – the ideal camp for honeymooners, couples and solo travellers looking for an exceptional safari experience or even families with older children.
Nestled under the canopy of riverine forest are just ten tents hugging the Mara River’s winding banks. The unique setting, with dark chunky wooden tables, oversized blue couches, and a central, colorfully beaded chandelier, creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance. Tribal portraits and African artefacts add to the sense of adventure. Meals are served on the raised wooden decking of the main mess and dining tent, offering a bird’s eye view of the snorting hippos below. The main feature is a sunken fire pit, lit in the evenings, providing the perfect spot to relax with a cocktail of your choice.
We offer a range of massages using 100% natural products by The Wild Herb Company. These can be done from the privacy and comfort of your tent – please view the treatment list HERE.
Eco-Tourism Kenya has awarded Governors’ Il Moran Camp a GOLD rating for its sustainability efforts and environmentally friendly practices.
