Borana Lodge

Overview

Borana Lodge puts conservation first and everything else second. Opened in 1993 at the foot of Mount Kenya, it was one of the country’s first eco lodges, and it still runs on solar power, a zero landfill policy, and meals prepared farm to fork. Stand alone cottages, including family cottages, look over the valley, while the main house and pool are where guests and guides swap the day’s stories.

Local employment is central, and as a member of The Long Run, Borana follows the 4C framework of Community, Culture, Conservation, and Commerce. Most of the money you spend goes back into the land, its people, and its wildlife.
