overview

Borana Lodge is located at the heart of Borana Conservancy on the foothills of Mt Kenya. With an arid landscape, ancient indigenous forests and high altitude moorlands, Borana is in a prime location for both wildlife and breathtaking scenery.

The lodge was built entirely from local materials by local craftsmen and the Dyer family who are still on site and actively involved. Borana is also home to Kenya's newest and most successful rhino sanctuary.
