Borana Conservancy lies on the slopes of Mount Kenya which is on the equator at 6,500 feet above sea level. Borana Lodge was established in 1993 and was the first property to be built in the conservancy. In 2007 the owners, the Dyer family, made a conscious decision to commit all the profit from the commercial activities on Borana to supporting conservation. By staying at Borana as a guest, you are making a direct contribution to helping the conservancy on its sustainable journey, ensuring any profit go back into the eco-system and protecting it for generations to come.
