Taking the Governors' tried, tested and truly excellent formula to the next level, Il Moran is the one for honeymooners, couples and anyone looking for a little piece of secluded privacy. In a quintessential and wonderfully romantic Mara picture, the 10 tents wind their way down a bend of the Mara River in the beautiful Musiara Sector of the reserve, shaded by the branches of ancient fig trees. With handsome Victorian bathtubs to fall into at the end of an active day and long, lazy candlelit dinners under a starry sky to look forward to, you might find yourself never wanting to leave.

Recently reduced from 20 to 10 to lessen the impact on the environment, the Meru-style tents are perfectly positioned along the Mara River for ultimate (and private) wildlife-watching. Relax in the hammock on the veranda or settle down in a chair and get serious with your binos for the perfect afternoon siesta. Inside, hand-carved, olive wood furniture is elegant yet functional and the bathrooms are enormous and come complete with delectable toiletries and vast free-standing bathtubs, as well as hot showers.
Cosying up in the super-king sized beds, or lounging in the enormous Victorian bath tubs and listening to the echoing calls of the Mara lion prides through the canvas walls.
Each tent comes fully stocked with beautiful handmade soaps and shampoo – all are entirely natural and refilled daily to reduce plastic waste, so forgo your own and get lathered up!
The game drive area around Il Moran is hugely popular and can get incredibly busy, especially during migration season – just as well you’ve got such a tranquil haven to retreat back to at the end of the day.
Moran Camp is owned by Governors' Camps, which collaborates with local communities and conservation organizations to protect wildlife.
