Lengishu House is a unique family home built to blend into its surroundings. Located at the centre of Borana Conservancy, it is surrounded by undulating hills and boasts breathtaking views of the Lengishu hills and across Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.
The large entrance hall leads to a beautiful vaulted sitting and dining room—this is the hub of the house. The study and an art room with floor-to-ceiling windows offer pretty secluded rooms to write or read in. A covered veranda with a pizza oven allows for outdoor luncheons or evening entertaining.
The six spacious bedrooms at Lengishu House, all facing east, offer breathtaking views of the valley below. Two of the cottages are stand-alone rooms with two bedrooms, perfect for couples or families. The rooms are designed for privacy and comfort, each equipped with a fireplace for cooler evenings. The en-suite bathrooms, with their luxurious copper baths, are strategically placed by floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring you never miss the stunning views.
Game drives, walking, and horse riding are the most popular activities, with night drives and mountain biking also possible. The house has a lovely infinity pool with a gym, billiards table, petanque pitch, and in-house masseuse.
Lengishu is reserved for exclusive use, sleeping up to twelve guests in six unique bedrooms.
About This Area
The Area
The Borana Conservancy is a non-profit conservation organisation dedicated to the sustainable conservation of critical habitat and wildlife.
Borana’s unique geographical location makes the 35,000-acre ranch a haven for a wide diversity of wildlife: elephant, buffalo, eland, Jackson’s hartebeest and herds of Grant’s gazelle, impala and plains zebra. Lion and cheetah sightings can be excellent here. Reticulated giraffes and the endangered Grevy Zebras are also residents. Black rhinos were reintroduced, and fences with neighbouring Lewa Wildlife Conservancy were dropped, making Borana part of a successful protected area for wildlife.
Due to its location, we can also access areas of great interest outside the private conservancy, such as the forests of Mt Kenya, Ngare Ndare’s magical Blue pools (both recognised as part of the UNESCO-designated Mount Kenya World Heritage Site in 2013), and the vast northern frontier district.
