Borana Lodge

Overview

With fabulous views across the expansive conservancy and majestic Mount Kenya, Borana Lodge’s hillside location on Laikipia Plateau is superb. This family-owned eco-lodge boasts a delightfully informal atmosphere where authenticity shines through its ranch-style design. This is a unique opportunity to experience Kenya’s newest and most successful rhino sanctuary.

Cuisine

A homely environment greets you from the main house where floor-to-ceiling windows, generous sofas and a huge fireplace fills the comfortable sitting room. After a sociable refreshment at the bar, a delectable three-course meal in the elegant dining room awaits. Delight in breakfast alfresco and a tasty array of fresh delicacies from the lunch pavilion boasting hypnotic views over the conservancy. With a farm-to-table approach, expect locally sourced ingredients from Waitabit Farm, Borana’s fascinating Permaculture project and now East Africa’s largest. Experience the farm first-hand, gain an understanding of the project and combine this with a wonderful riverbank lunch that’s fresh from the garden. 

Sustainability

Earnings retained through Borana Conservancy’s commercial activities support the increased costs of conservation. Each guest automatically makes a contribution to conservation, thus enabling Borana to continue along its sustainable journey. On top of this the majority of food served at Borana Lodge is sourced locally from Waitabit Farm, a large Permaculture project.

Borana has a holistic approach to sustainable conservation whereby neighbors and communities are involved in their mission to boost ecosystem integrity for critically endangered species.
