Hakuna Matata – it means no worries, especially on safari! Our time in Kenya gave us our very own Lion King moments, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. From breathtaking landscapes to intimate wildlife encounters, here’s why Borana Lodge should be at the top of your safari bucket list.
🌄 Getting There: A Scenic Journey
Your adventure begins with a stunning flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Lewa Downs Airstrip. Flying over Kenya’s sprawling landscapes is like stepping straight into Pride Rock! The views from above—rolling plains, majestic mountains, and lush valleys—are enough to take your breath away. Trust us, this is one journey you’ll never forget.
🏡 Where We Stayed: Borana Lodge
Nestled in the heart of the Samangua Valley, Borana Lodge is pure magic. The cozy cottages come with private verandas overlooking the wild, making it the perfect retreat for couples, families, or groups. Each space is designed to connect you to the natural beauty around you, blending rustic charm with luxury. Waking up to the sounds of nature and sipping coffee as the sun rises is an experience like no other.
🐘 Safari Adventures: Choose Your Wild
Borana Lodge offers a variety of safari activities to suit every kind of traveler. Game drives happen twice a day, giving you a chance to spot Kenya’s iconic wildlife, including lions, rhinos, elephants, and giraffes. For something more active, try rhino trekking, e-biking, guided walks, or even horseback riding through the savannah. Prefer something slower-paced? The lodge’s pool and spa are perfect for relaxing after an exciting day.
🥭 Food & Drinks: A Culinary Delight
Food is an experience in itself at Borana Lodge. Everything—yes, even cocktails by the pool—is included. Breakfasts on the veranda were our favorite, especially the mango French toast that was absolutely drool-worthy. Pro tip: Ask Jack the barman to whip up a custom cocktail or mocktail—you won’t regret it.
🌱 Sustainability: Luxury with a Purpose
Borana Lodge isn’t just about luxury; it’s a shining example of sustainable travel. The lodge runs on solar power, uses sustainable water sources, and actively supports local wildlife conservation efforts. Every stay contributes to the preservation of Kenya’s incredible biodiversity, making your visit meaningful and impactful.
Why Borana Lodge is the Ultimate Safari Destination
Kenya offers countless opportunities for incredible safari experiences, but Borana Lodge stands out for its perfect balance of adventure, luxury, and conservation. Whether you’re exploring on game drives, savoring world-class cuisine, or simply soaking in the views from your veranda, every moment feels like a scene from The Lion King.
