Borana Lodge

Descriprtion

Borana Lodge is located at the heart of Borana Conservancy, with a fantastic view of Mount Kenya. The lodge was built entirely from local materials by local craftsmen and the Dyer family. It is perched on a hillside above a dam, where wildlife regularly gathers.

Borana Lodge is family-friendly, yet romantic for honeymooners and special occasions.

We offer a wide range of activities for traditional safari goers as well as intrepid travellers. As we are small and exclusive you are encouraged to treat Borana as your home.

Rooms

Each cottage at Borana Lodge is built around the main house which houses a comfortable sitting room, bar and dining room. Further along the ridge line you will find a horizon pool looking onto the Hyena Valley Dam below, which allows for poolside game viewing. The lunch pavilion is set above the pool house and boasts wonderful views over the entire conservancy.

Borana Lodge has four stand-alone cottages with exceptional views. Each of these cottages are unique, designed with the hillside in mind, not forgetting the finer details which make for true comfort.

Two further cottages provide the perfect refuge for families; a sitting room is shared between a double and a twin so parents can rest assured their children are safe in the room next door.

Four rooms have large double beds and four have queen-size twin beds.

Each cottage is built out of rock and cedar with a thatched roof. They all have open fireplaces, lit each evening with a basket of sustainably sourced firewood nearby along with verandas with breath-taking views. The bathrooms are spacious and have both baths and showers which look out over the wilds of Africa.
