Borana Conservancy – Wildlife Conservancy in Nanyuki

Borana Conservancy is a 28,000-acre protected area on the northern slopes of Mount Kenya, on the Laikipia Plateau just north of the equator and reached via Nanyuki. It sits between drier country to the north and indigenous forest to the south, and is home to both black and white rhino as well as a wide range of other wildlife.

The conservancy describes itself as a management body committed to the conservation and regeneration of wildlife and rangelands, and to building local livelihoods through tourism, ranching and other enterprises. Rhino were reintroduced onto Borana in 2013, after earlier work on neighbouring Lewa. In 2022 Borana Ranch became Borana Conservancy and was formally recognised by the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Ministry of Tourism as a gazetted protected area. This listing is for the conservancy, not for Borana Lodge, which is one of the properties inside it.

The postal address is P.O. Box 137, Nanyuki 10400. Email conservancy@borana.co.ke or info@borana.co.ke. Background and visitor notes are on the Borana Conservancy website.
