Formerly Little Governors’ Camp, this classic East African property is being completely rebuilt to offer a more intimate, lower-impact experience, with just 12 tented suites set along the edge of a thriving marsh ecosystem.

Wilderness Mara is all about access set in the Mara Triangle, it’s the only camp that allows guests across to both sides of the Mara River, opening up more space, more wildlife, and fewer crowds. This is classic safari territory: big skies, roaming herds, and raw drama at the river crossings. We’ve kept the camp true to its East African roots; elegant, grounded, and deeply connected to place, while adding just the right touches of comfort: a spa to unwind and a gym for the energetic. Children of all ages are welcome.

Namely, grassland plains (vital grazing for migratory plains game); thickets (secure habitat for smaller predators and birds); riverine forests (dense forests of evergreen trees along the river and streams); marsh (seasonal wetlands teeming with birdlife).

Framed by the Oloololo Escarpment and the snaking Mara River, the Mara Triangle is a sanctuary of staggering biodiversity: home to iconic African wildlife including resident black rhino, vast herds of grazers, and rarer species like servals and bat-eared foxes. Managed by the Mara Conservancy, this remote section of the Masai Mara is exceptionally well-protected, less crowded, and expertly managed. Here, the Great Migration reaches its dramatic crescendo: more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebra and countless gazelles surge across crocodile-filled waters. Yet even when the herds move on, the spectacle endures. Lions hunt the plains. Elephants stir the riverine forest. Birdlife dazzles. Notable bird species include martial eagle, blue swallow, grey crowned crane, rufous-bellied heron and Jackson’s widow bird. (Wilderness)
