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.
