Governors’ Il Moran is one of a collection of ‘Governors’ safari camps located in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Il Moran Safari Camp is small, intimate and pleasantly plush. Located within the National Reserve’s Musiara Sector, the camp is surrounded by a steady stream of wildlife and scenic views. The camp’s ten very large luxury safari tents are tucked away amidst ancient trees deep in the forest lining the winding Mara River. The camp is traditional and permanent in nature, but blends in comfortably with its surroundings. Local wildlife is so at ease with the peaceful safari camp that you may occasionally see a giraffe or elephant strolling through camp. At night you’ll hear a local pod of hippo’s grunting in the darkness.
Il Moran’s ten spacious safari tents have recently been refurbished and have a noticeably light and airy feel to them due to the use of neutral tones of beige and greys. Each tent is furnished with a hand-carved king-sized olive-wood bed (made locally from reclaimed wood), a heavy wooden writing desk with copper lamp and a large comfy sofa. Floors are covered with heavy carpets and cowhides. The tents have large en-suite bathrooms separated from the bedroom by zip-up flaps. The bathrooms are equipped with twin washbasins, hot- and cold running water, lovely large walk-in showers and a freestanding claw-foot bathtub with shower attachment. The tents also have electric lamps, camera and mobile phone charging and plenty of African artefacts to enhance the safari atmosphere. The tents are set up upon large concrete stone plinths and fully mosquito proofed. On the front side of the tent lies a private verandah with wicker chairs and a hammock for lounging in. The tent has a generator that’s always running and which allows for charging of batteries and mobile phones.
