Wilderness Mara

Wilderness Mara – formerly Little Governors' Camp – is set to open in early 2026. Located in the heart of the Mara Triangle — one of the most wildlife-rich and visually arresting areas of the greater Masai Mara National Reserve — Wilderness Mara offers guests unrivalled access to both sides of the Mara River. This unique position offers access to a rich diversity of habitats, expanding game-viewing territory while ensuring fewer crowds and deeper, more meaningful wildlife encounters.

Destinations

Wilderness Mara

Where spreading plains rise to meet the Oloololo Escarpment, the Mara River carves a timeless path through this ancient earth, and a wedge of wilderness beckons: the Mara Triangle. This section of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve is celebrated for its extraordinary wildlife density, particularly during the Great Migration. Here, timeless wilds meet bold conservation. Fewer vehicles, fewer voices, and yet more life, more tension, more drama. Crocodiles drift unseen in the Mara River, where the brave must cross. Lions watch from the tall grass, still. And when the thunder of hooves begins, the land holds its breath.
