Wilderness Mara has opened its doors as a fully rebuilt safari camp on the site of what was previously Little Governors’ Camp in the Mara Triangle, Kenya.
“For over 50 years, Governors set the standard for authenticity, conservation and community in the region. Wilderness is proud to honour and evolve that legacy – blending classic East African safari traditions with a contemporary, low-impact approach to luxury,” said Hein Prinsloo, Wilderness Kenya CEO.
The camp comprises 12 tented suites, including a family unit, positioned along a seasonal marsh. Interiors by Chris Payne of White Elephant Trading Company in collaboration with Wilderness draw inspiration from the Mara featuring natural textures, locally crafted furnishings and sustainably sourced materials. The main area includes a wellness area with a spa and gym.
Set against the Oloololo Escarpment, the camp offers year-round game viewing of resident lion prides, elephant herds and black rhino while the Great Migration brings over a million wildebeest and zebra through the Maasai Mara ecosystem every year.
The camp supports initiatives such as Children in the Wilderness, the Maa Trust, the Pangolin Project and the Mara Raptor Project.
