Borana Lodge in Kenya operates as a wildlife conservancy, situated on the edge of the Samangua Valley, offering panoramic views of Mount Kenya and the Northern Frontier of Kenya.

Borana Lodge, located in Laikipia, Kenya, spans a vast 35,000-acre ranch just 17 miles north of the equator, at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This remarkable destination serves as a sanctuary for a diverse array of wildlife, including Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Monkeys, and large herds of Antelope that traverse the plains. Meanwhile, the cooler forest areas provide refuge for Bushbuck, Colobus Monkeys, and Leopards. Borana serves as a sanctuary for rhinos, providing conservation initiatives such as daily rhino tracking to monitor each individual rhino every morning.
Borana is a sustainable safari lodge located in Kenya, established in 1992 by skilled local artisans. The construction utilized exclusively local building materials and dead wood sourced from the ranch. The outcome is an exceptionally comfortable and luxurious lodge that harmoniously integrates with its surroundings; it appears to have naturally emerged from the rocks upon which it was constructed.
Borana Lodge, situated within the Borana Conservancy in Kenya, offers a view of a dam that collects floodwater cascading from the adjacent hills. The location serves as a vital resource for local wildlife, ensuring a continuous array of activity for guests to observe. A game blind is situated directly on the edge of the dam, allowing visitors to observe the activity up close. Elephant swimming is a particular highlight.
