not only does Borana Lodge offer sweeping

of Borana’s landscape wildlife and building
local livelihoods. Borana Lodge is a certified
Global Ecosphere Retreat®.

champions a beyond-the-traditional-game-
drive approach. Guests are given a behind-
the-scenes
understanding

how
successful wildlife conservation area is run
through thrilling and authentic experiences
such as riding in the wild and bush walks.
Revenue contributes to core operational
costs, including a mobile clinic, training and
welfare for Borana’s 13-strong team of
rangers, and education, water safety, and
livestock programmes. This allows the
conservancy to continue on its sustainable
and regenerative journey and to secure the
integrity of Borana’s ecosystem in the
future.
