Step away from the safari vehicle to discover the sights, smells and sounds of Borana Conservancy on an e-bike ride, before returning to the lodge for breakfast and a late morning of leisure. Enjoy lunch at the lodge before departing on a guided bush walk enroute to the famous site that inspired the Lion King – Pride Rock – and take in panoramic views of Borana Conservancy during a traditional ‘sundowner’.

After a leisurely late-morning and afternoon at the lodge, set off to discover Naretoi Conservancy – away from the safari vehicle – on a mountain bike. Bikes give guests the opportunity to travel long distances at their own pace surrounded by nature, while hills and valleys provide the perfect terrain for adrenalin-fuelled adventures.

The Borana Education Support Programme promotes education and literacy in local communities and inspires young Kenyan minds to see the value of conservation and the environment. Visiting one of these schools gives beautiful insight into the lives of local children. While visiting a traditional village, a Maasai elder will give a tour and describe the history of the Maasai tribe, before members of the community demonstrate customary ways of life, traditions and dance.

Rise in the early morning for a once in a lifetime experience floating above the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon. Watching the wildlife wake while the sun rises over the plains is the ultimate safari experience, the landscape below a never-ending mixture of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments and rugged rivers.

Nestled on the eastern bank of the Ngare Ndare River at Borana Conservancy, Waitabit Farm is the largest Permaculture project in East Africa. Waitabit produces most of the fresh produce used at Borana Lodge as well as providing the anti-poaching team with fresh vegetables. Guests come away from a visit to the farm not only with a wealth of knowledge of its innovative systems but also a real appreciation of localised food production.

Spend three glorious days on one of Kenya’s most perfect beaches, exploring the spectacular marine life, snorkelling or scuba diving in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. For the adventurous, take to the waters on a kite surf, kayak or stand-up paddleboard. If you’re seeking quieter times just kick back and soak up the Kenyan sun on the white sand beaches or enjoy a spa treatment amongst the tropical gardens.
