Stayed with family (6people /3 tents) for 5 days 4 nights in July. The best place we stayed in during our 3 week trip to East Africa. The camp manager Ms. Rachel, chef Sammy, Michael ( waiter) , Leah (front office) and our driver/guide Simon made our stay at il Moran unforgettable. Simon made sure we saw all of the big 5. Cheetah kill on the 2nd game drive was unbelievable! The tents have all the comforts of a hotel room, hot water bottles kept us warm at night( much appreciated). The food is great, we are vegetarians and chef Sammy prepared delicious meals for us( including the best picnic breakfast and lunch we have ever had) We would definitely return. Thank you all the staff who welcomed us and made our stay there memorable.

While staying in the Mara, our friend and guide, Mike Cheffings arraigned for us to have a breakfast away from our Mara accommodations at the Il Moran Camp on the northern end of the Reserve. And as we were driving in, we were seeing a large herd of elephants in the forest adjacent to the Camp and we discovered later that this herd had been inside the Camp overnight causing a bit of a dust-up there.
We were seated at a comfortable al fresco table among the trees and alongside the Mara River in the center of the Camp. Breakfast service was excellent and the breakfast of omelets, fried eggs, bacon, sausage fruits and breads was delicious. My omelet was the most perfectly prepared I have ever had at many breakfasts in the bush, so big kudos to the chef/cooks. If our breakfast is an example of the cuisine here at Il Moran Camp, then the other meals should be spot on!
Not only did we have a delicious breakfast, we were joined by Camp Manager Patrick, who delighted us with tale after tale of his experiences in the bush and concerns for the protection of the Mara ecosystem. I have no doubts that when Patrick’s carrier as a camp manager ends he will find full employment as a stand-up comic. What a delightful man and a dedicated man to this camp. It is obvious that his management of the Il Moran Camp rates it as 5-stars.

From the moment you arrive at the Il Moran camp Patrick and his team make you feel totally at home, nothing is too much trouble. I visited with two teenagers and husband and our tented accommodation was very tasteful and comfortable.
The food was just amazing and the camp which sits alongside the Mara river was incredible. We sat and watched the playful hippos as we ate lunch and went to sleep to the sound of their snorting and frolicking in the water. A truly special place!
Our game guide Enos was absolutely fantastic - he had a wonderful upbeat personality and showed us an incredible river crossing during the migration - spell binding. Nothing was too much trouble and he was a fantastic ambassador for the camp and it's wildlife.
