Governors’
IL Moran is for those who want that extra bit of luxury. The camp
comprises just 10 tents situated along the banks of the Mara River.
This exclusive camp was formerly known as Paradise Camp and
originally had 20 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.
IL Moran is hidden in the shadow of ancient trees. The camp
recreates the atmosphere of the original hunting camps. Each room is
furnished to a superior standard. The beds have been hand carved
from specially selected wood from fallen, ancient olive trees. The
interior of each tent also includes a Victorian style bath, flush
toilet and double basins. Each tent has a large, extended verandah
designed so you can take dinner in private at your tent if you wish.
You will be the personal guest of manager, Patrick, who has a wealth
of experience of the African bush. Game drives and game walks are
included in the rate and complimentary wine is served with dinner.
During the day, meals are served outdoors amongst the trees. For
breakfast there are fresh fruits, cereals and hot-baked breads
together with a full, cooked breakfast prepared before your eyes.
For lunch, a buffet that will satisfy the hungriest appetites. In
the evening guests can enjoy cordon-bleu dinners by candlelight,
deep in the bush. These are truly unforgettable experiences.
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.
