Borana Lodge

The impact of your stay:

• Guests staying at Borana Lodge contribute 24% of their nightly rate towards various conservation initiatives. These efforts encompass a wide range of projects, including a mobile clinic, a dedicated team of over 130 wildlife rangers, a water safety program and an educational programme featuring a children’s breakfast club.
• Beyond traditional game drives, guests have the opportunity to explore conservation efforts firsthand, including visits to the operations room, rhino tracking with experienced rangers, farm and headquarters tours, and solar energy demonstrations.
• In collaboration with Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to the East, Borana dropped its fences in 2013 to create a continuous rhino habitat covering 92,000 acres. This vast area is now one of East Africa’s largest continuous rhino habitats, providing sanctuary to over 250 black and white rhinos. The revenue generated from tourism supports a team of more than 130 wildlife rangers who diligently safeguard nearly 10 critically endangered species within Borana Conservancy.
• With an impressive local employment rate exceeding 80%, Borana Lodge demonstrates its commitment to community involvement. Nearly half of its employees are women, and the lodge actively promotes training and skills development, fostering internal growth.
