Borana Conservancy

Why visit Borana Conservancy?

Borana Conservancy is a private conservation landscape in Laikipia where wildlife protection, low-density tourism and broad views of Kenya’s central highlands come together. It is best suited to travellers looking beyond the standard national-park circuit for a quieter safari with a strong conservation focus and, where current operations permit, a wider range of guided activities. Borana forms part of a larger connected conservation landscape with neighbouring Lewa, creating space for wildlife to move across an extensive protected area. The terrain shifts between open grassland, wooded valleys, hills and rocky country, producing varied game-drive conditions and excellent photographic settings. The private-conservancy model generally allows more flexibility in how time is used than a fast-moving road circuit, so Borana works particularly well for travellers who prefer depth, guiding and time in one place. For Prince Safaris itinerary design, Borana Conservancy works best when the number of nights matches the size and style of the protected area rather than treating it as a box to tick. We connect it with complementary destinations in Laikipia & Central Kenya and beyond, balancing road or flight time with enough hours on the ground for wildlife, landscape and photography. Game viewing is always shaped by season, weather and natural animal movement, so our guides keep daily routes flexible instead of promising fixed sightings.
