Borana Conservancy

Borana Conservancy is one of Kenya's most distinguished private wildlife sanctuaries, set on the sweeping Laikipia Plateau in central Kenya at elevations of around 2,000 metres. Covering approximately 32,000 acres of rugged semi-arid savannah, rocky outcrops, and acacia scrubland, Borana forms part of the interconnected Laikipia ecosystem — a mosaic of private ranches and community conservancies that collectively protect Africa's second-largest population of black rhino and one of Kenya's highest concentrations of endangered wildlife species outside national parks. Borana's landscape is dramatic and varied, offering panoramic views stretching to Mount Kenya and the Northern Frontier. The conservancy's successful rhino breeding and protection programme has made it a key sanctuary for both black and white rhino, and its populations have contributed restocking animals to parks across Kenya. Unlike national parks, Borana permits off-road driving, night game drives, guided walking safaris, horse riding, camel trekking, and exclusive wildlife encounters tailored to individual guests. The property's single luxury lodge ensures a private, intimate atmosphere with highly personalised service.
