About The Area

Borana Lodge is located at the foothills of Mount Kenya in Laikipia County, close to the Great Rift Valley.  This area is widely considered one of the best safari regions in Kenya due to the high populations of endangered animals and low tourist numbers. Borana Conservancy offers stunning views across snow capped mountain and is home to over 50 indigenous trees, over 300 bird species, and of course the big game.
