Borana Wildlife Conservancy

The Borana Wildlife Conservancy sits on 32,000 acres of virgin wilderness in northern Kenya. Arguably among the most successful conservancies in Kenya, it is an international beacon for wildlife conservation. The recent partnership with the Lewa Conservancy has ensured dividing fences have been pulled down and created a habitat that is as big as it is unbroken, teeming with life.

It is now home to 106 black rhinos and 98 white rhinos across this same landscape, and Borana is considered one of Africa’s premier rhino-viewing destinations. Along with the rhinos, there is an opportunity to see all five members of the famous “Big Five”-lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinos in their natural habitat. Unbelievable animals roam free over the rolling savannahs and lush woodlands, home to unforgettable safaris.

It is also taken as a haven for bird enthusiasts since Borana has over 300 species of birds. Because many raptors and vibrantly colored bee-eaters make it a premier destination, the conservancy is taken as one of the prime destinations in East Africa for birding. The variable biodiversity and teeming ecosystems attract visitors from every corner of the earth for the mystique of Kenya’s untroubled beauty.

It also forms a part of community development and sustainable tourism, other than its wildlife. Activities within the Conservancy are done in close liaison with the local communities so as to ensure that there is not only environmental protection but also regional prosperity.

Whether it is wildlife viewing, bird viewing, or just nature’s sceneries that intrigue you, a trip to Borana Wildlife Conservancy is one of those lifetime memories.
