Governors’ IL Moran Camp: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya Safari

Camp’s Quick Facts:

Governors’ IL Moran is for those who want that extra bit of luxury and comprises of just ten tents situated along the banks of the Mara River hidden in the shadow of ancient trees in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya. This exclusive camp was formerly known as paradise Camp and originally had twenty tents. The owner’s decision to reduce the size of the new camp is in direct response to their desire to preserve the surroundings and make a contribution to reduce the impact of tourists on the environment. This is probably the first time in the Mara that this has happened. The Camp is open throughout the year with following spectacular seasons: peak season months August and September and 15th – 31st December. High season months are, January – March inclusive and June, July, October, November and 1st – 14th December and green season being the month of – April and May respectively.

Each tent has a large, extended veranda designed so you can take dinner in private at your tent if you wish. The ten double suite tents with extra beds can be added on if necessary and en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs, large showers, twin basins, flush toilet, running cold and hot water showers offer guests comfort feel at home.

Masai Mara National Reserve in Brief:

The Masai Mara is a unique area with a constant and unrivalled flow of wildlife throughout the year. From July to October the Mara becomes a backdrop for one of the last great natural wonders of the world, when 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra surge up from the Serengeti plains in their annual search for the seasonal grasses that sustain them. The spectacle as the vast herds cross rivers and sweep through the golden grasses, is punctuated by individual struggles with the predators, which are in turn drawn to take their part in this dramatic event. Whilst the migration is spectacular, game viewing at all other times of the year remains almost unrivalled anywhere in Africa.
