Governors’ Il Moran Camp is for those who want that extra bit of luxury. Il Moran is small and intimate. Added touches place this camp at the top of the safari accommodation range. You’ll be the personal guest of the manager who will look after all your needs. It is the ideal camp for honeymooners and couples who are looking for a very special safari experience. Or even families with older children.
It is widely regarded as the premiere camp in the Masai Mara, with the best game viewing right on your doorstep.
Dark chunky wooden tables contrast with oversized blue couches and a central, colorfully beaded chandelier. While tribal portraits and African artifacts are dotted around. Meals are served on the raised wooden decking of the main mess and dining tent which offers a birds eye view of the snorting hippos below. The main feature is a sunken fire pit which is lit 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.
A range of spa treatments can be done from the privacy and comfort of your tent.
This camp has been awarded a Silver Eco Rating by Eco-Tourism Kenya for its sustainable tourism practices in place.

Governors’ Il Moran Camp Accommodation
Hidden under ancient trees deep in the forest, are just 10 x 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.

Best time to visit Governors’ Il Moran Camp
Governors’ Il Moran Camp is open throughout the year. Really, anytime is great to visit. However, if you want to see the wildebeest migration, then between the months of July and October is best. Although, there is abundant wildlife all year. The rainy seasons transform the scorched landscapes into an immediate green flush. This makes it great for photography. Rivers and waterholes are full and there’s new life in the form of baby animals and migratory birds. Birding is great all year round.
The driest months are from late June to October. The long rains in the Masai Mara are from April to May. While November (and the start of December) is known as the short rains. The warmest month is February with an average maximum temperature of 28°C (82°F). The coldest month is July with an average maximum temperature of 24°C (75°F).
The climate in the Mara is slightly colder and wetter than might be expected this close to the equator. This is due to the altitude. Daytime is pleasant with temperatures in the mid to upper twenties, while it cools off significantly at night. Mornings are chilly.
