GOVERNORS’ IL MORAN CAMP
Governors’ Ilmoran is for those who want that extra bit of luxury. The camp comprises just 10 tents situated along the banks of the Mara River in the world famous Masai Mara, Kenya. Each spacious tent has a very private location and is furnished to a superior standard.
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.

Governors’ Ilmoran Camp Description
Ilmoran is hidden in the shadow of ancient trees. Each room is furnished to a superior standard. Stunning beds are handmade from specially selected wood taken from ancient olive trees. Large en-suite bathrooms have flush toilets, a lovely big shower with piping-hot water, and a Victorian bath where you can soap the day’s dust away. Every tent has an extended veranda. They’re designed so you can take dinner in private at your tent if you wish. Or just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds. Birds and butterflies abound, elephant wander through the camp, at night leopard call nearby.
During the day meals are served under the giant trees. There’s fresh fruits, cereals and hot-baked breads together with a cooked breakfast barbecued before your eyes. For lunch a buffet that’ll satisfy the hungriest appetites. Deep in the bush, our cordon-bleu dinners by candlelight are a truly unforgettable experience. Nowhere else can you get so far from civilisation, yet stay in such style.
Activities and Wildlife
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.
There are various activities on offer at Governors’ Ilmoran Camp: game drives in open Landrovers, game walks or balloon flights over the wide plains of the Masai Mara. Day excursions to the Lake Victoria are also on offer. The thrill of a brush with Africa’s big game is what brings people to the Masai Mara. Get up close to the big cats on a game drive in a custom-built four-wheel-drive vehicle. Come face to face with nature in the raw on a walking safari. Or see life in a traditional Masai village.
For the experience of a lifetime, drift with the dawn over the plains on a hot-air balloon safari then feast on a champagne breakfast in the bush. Just 40 minutes flying time from the Masai Mara, at Lake Victoria, you can try to catch one of the biggest fish you’re ever likely to land, take a dip in at the source of the Nile, see the lake’s wonderful bird life, and explore the beautiful island scenery.
