Borana Conservancy

A private ranch conservancy adjoining Lewa, with rolling hills and views of Mount Kenya, offering horseback and walking safaris.

Borana Conservancy covers roughly 130 square kilometers on the west side of Lewa. The fences between the two have been removed, creating a connected habitat for rhinos. The terrain rises and falls, with woodland and grassland alternating, and on clear days Mount Kenya can be seen in the distance. Besides game drives by vehicle, it is known for horseback safaris, walking and mountain biking. The few boutique lodges here operate on a full-board basis. Accommodation must be booked in advance. The drive from Nanyuki takes about 1.5 hours, or you can fly in by small plane.
