A stay at Borana is a unique opportunity for total immersion in the life and goings on of a working ranch where environmental and ecological considerations coincide with the needs of the neighboring community. This 35,000-acre ranch situated on the edge of the Samargua Valley provides stunning views of Mt. Kenya as well as Kenya's northern frontier. Learn first hand about the challenges of ranching in this harsh environment such as elephants in the vegetable patch, lions in the cattle boma, flood, draught and famine.

You can keep as busy or not as you like with game drives, bush walks, horseback riding and mountain bike riding. If you are interested in horse breeding, Borana breeds its own polo and children's ponies. A wide diversity of wildlife including lion, elephant, Jackson's hartebeest, buffalo, reticulated giraffe, Patas monkeys and great herds of antelope roam the plains while the cool forest shelters bush buck, colobus monkeys and leopard. For those wanting a more relaxing time you can always climb into a hide or tree house and wait for the wildlife to come to you.
