THE PROPERTY:

This incredible property is located in Laikipia at the heart of Kenya’s 32,000 acre Borana Conservancy, the country’s newest and most successful rhino sanctuary. Nestled into a ridge with stunning views across the Laikipia plains and deep into the Northern Frontier, the property is a luxury home for up to 12 guests, offering sustainable travel and safari adventures in one of Kenya’s leading wildlife destinations.

The property features six beautifully appointed bedrooms within four cottages, which are situated apart from the main house. All rooms face East over the valley below, offering spectacular sunrise views. Fish Eagle and Goshawk are standalone double rooms, perfect for couples. The Upper and Lower Cottages work well for guests travelling with young children or couples on safari together, with the bedrooms leading off a shared sitting room that is found at the centre of the cottage.

All bedrooms are spacious with fireplaces or wood burning stoves for the cooler evenings, and have en-suite bathrooms with rain showers and freestanding copper bathtubs. Floor to ceiling windows provide majestic views of the undulating plains beyond, perfect for bathtub game viewing. The property is built with locally sourced materials and designed to blend in with the surrounding environment. Expertly crafted by local artisans, the house features beautiful exposed Kenyan timber work while stone for the floors and intricate design features were excavated from the site itself. The interiors are tastefully decorated in neutral tones with splashes of red in a nod to the owner’s Scottish heritage and that of their neighbours; the Maasai community.  The main house is central to the design with a large entrance hall leading to a study and dining room with two inviting fireplaces and an impressive vaulted ceiling. A covered veranda with a pizza oven is a delightful hub for al fresco breakfasts or sundowners under an African sky.

Enjoy unforgettable adventures in the Borana Conservancy - home to The Big Five, along with an abundance of other species of African wildlife. Working with the Conservancy, we offer a wealth of game drives and other safari adventures on land, by air and on horseback, along with hands-on conservation experiences, accompanied by your own private guide.

Whilst guests are encouraged to explore the many great safari adventures in the Conservancy, the property has a wide range of facilities to enjoy when you simply wish to relax and unwind at home. With a gym, billiards table, infinity pool, studio and pétanque pitch, and our wonderful in-house masseuse, this property is a peaceful refuge from everyday life.

All conservation fees paid by the property’s guests are invested into the sustainable conservation of land and wildlife, notably endangered black rhino and its habitat. On this luxury safari in Kenya, there is the opportunity to not only learn how Borana Conservancy supports the conservation of wildlife and the local community, but also to make a difference.
