Wilderness Celebrates the Opening of Wilderness Mara in Kenya
Wilderness has opened a new luxury safari camp, Wilderness Mara, in Kenya's Masai Mara ecosystem. The camp replaces the former Little Governors’ Camp and focuses on low-impact, conservation-led hospitality.
Why it matters
This development highlights the ongoing shift in the African tourism industry toward sustainable, high-end wildlife experiences.
The opening marks a new chapter in Wilderness’ East African journey, strengthening its presence in one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations.
Framed by the Oloololo Escarpment, the camp occupies a prime position for year-round game viewing.
Guests can encounter resident lion prides, large elephant herds and critically endangered Eastern black rhino, while the Great Migration brings more than a million wildebeest and zebra through the wider Masai Mara ecosystem in a seasonal spectacle of extraordinary scale.
Formerly Little Governors’ Camp, Wilderness Mara honours a safari legacy spanning more than five decades while embracing Wilderness’ conservation-led hospitality model.
“For over 50 years, Governors’ set the standard for authenticity, conservation and community in this 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 Chief Executive Officer.
