Borana Wildlife Conservancy

Borana Conservancy is one of the most important conservation areas in the Laikipia region. Together with its neighbor, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Borana is home to thriving populations of black and white rhino. There are no fences between the two conservancies, and they are also good for seeing predators. Borana has strong engagement with the local community, anti-poaching programs and sustainable safari practices. Borana Conservancy is dedicated to the conservation of land, wildlife and building local livelihoods

In 2013, Borana introduced 21 black rhino from Lake Nakuru National Park and the neighbouring Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Lewa and Borana cooperate closely on all conservation matters and have now dropped the adjoining fences between the two conservancies. This contiguous landscape now boasts 106 black and 98 white rhino, making it arguably one of the best places in Kenya to see rhino. Whilst a draw for many visitors, rhino are not the only big game you will find on the conservancy. All of the Big Five can be seen here. Borana Conservancy is also one of the best places for birdwatching in East Africa with close to 300 species of bird.

Borana offers some of the most thrilling, authentic and unique ways to encounter Kenya’s wildlife and wilderness thanks to our conservation efforts. The conservancy strives to retain this land as pristine wilderness that guests are able to enjoy first hand, be it walking through the bush, riding on ranch horses or mountain bikes, driving in the open-top safari vehicles, or lounging at the infinity pool and enjoying the view. Since Borana is a private property, there is guaranteed exclusivity, making every aspect of the safari experience personal, peaceful and uninterrupted - giving guests the rare opportunity to be totally immersed in nature. But don't let us hold you back - you can always go fishing, rock climbing or even paragliding, make the suggestion and we will try to make it happen.

Buggies & Quad Bike Safaris
Go on a day trip into the North on buggies and quad bikes with Jay and Amory Macleod. Driving on tiny tracks, unusable by conventional vehicles; visit ‘singing wells’, have a picnic by a remote riverbed with seasonal pools or just cover miles of country feeling like the genuine intrepid explorer. Returning to a comfy bed in the evening at the lodge or staying out under a mossie-net in the bush, listening to the sounds of an African night.
