Wilderness Mara opens in Kenya
Wilderness Mara has officially opened in Kenya's Mara Triangle, replacing the former Little Governors’ Camp with a new 12-suite luxury safari destination. The camp emphasizes sustainable design and conservation, continuing a long-standing legacy of tourism in the region while supporting local ecological and community initiatives.
Why it matters
The opening represents a significant shift in East African luxury tourism, balancing high-end hospitality with modern, low-impact environmental standards in one of the world's most critical wildlife ecosystems.
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.
