It was a bit overwhelming trying to pick a camp in the Masai Mara for a first time visit. Browsed many web sites and read many trip advisor reviews, not to mention a few travel forums. Well, I can honestly say that I am very happy that I picked IL Moran. From the time we stepped off the plane, where... More

I was here as part of our honeymoon and stayed for 3 nights/4 days. It was a fantastic stay. There are only 10 tents here, and I think it is more suited to couples as it is a really intimate experience. Our tent could barely be called that, it was just fantastic, double carved bed, hammock, comfy seats inside and... More

We were at Il Moran for 3 nights. Everything is as described on their web site. A really intimate safari experience. Our driver was very good, and even in the short amount of time saw the big 5, Masai tribe, and did a balloon safari (stunning). Wake up calls with biscuits and fresh Kenyan coffee, drinks on games drives (there's... More

This is the lovely camp which is set in the perfect location for viewing in the Mara. The tent's are roomy and comfortable and having a bath is a real treat. There is also plenty of access to electricity for charging camera batteries. The camp has a relaxed atmosphere and the food is excellent. Our guide, Enos, was very knowledgeable... More

This year the Governors team very kindly offered us an upgrade to the Il Moran camp in the Mara (along the Mara river,... More
