Borana Conservancy lies at the foot of Mt Kenya, a few miles North of the equator at 6,500 feet (almost 2,000 meters) above sea level.
The Conservancy has a unique geographical situation which makes it a haven for a huge diversity of wildlife including black and white rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, Jackson’s hartebeest, buffalo and great herds of antelope in the plains; while the cooler forest and rivers shelter bush buck, otters and leopard.
Borana Lodge is a the heart of Borana Conservancy, with a fantastic view of Mount Kenya. The lodge is perched on a hillside above a damn, where herds of elephant regularly gather to bathe at lunch time.
