Borana Lodge
Laikipia, Kenya · Independent · High Luxury
The Dyer family's eight stone-and-cedar cottages sit at 6,000 feet on a hillside inside Borana Conservancy, looking across a wildlife dam toward Mount Kenya. Open corridors to adjacent Lewa create a combined rhino sanctuary where guests walk with rangers to track black rhino, and the family's Riding Wild operation runs horseback safaris across the Laikipia plateau. The lodge opened in 1993 on ancestral ranchland the Dyers turned into a working conservancy.
