Lengishu

a very exclusive low-traffic location

Lengishu is located on the Borana Conservancy of northcentral Kenya.

The ranch has been owned by the Dyer family since pre-independence and it does feel very much like an owner-run estate. The atmosphere is intimate and relatively noncommercial, whilst also having the polish of a high-end facility.

The lodge is centred on a cluster of buildings, with lovely lounge and dining areas, leading out to a large swimming pool, with fantastic views of the surrounding hills.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Lengishu is in four detached buildings …

• Goshawk Cottage : one bedroom
• Lower Cottage : with two bedrooms
• Upper Cottage : with two bedrooms
• Fish Eagle Cottage : one bedroom

Activities

Lengishu provides the following guided activities, not all of which are necessarily included in the room rate …

• Horse-riding
• Vehicle safari
• Walking safari
• Rhino tracking safari
• Mountain-bike safari
• Cultural interaction
• Farm visits

Borana tends to feature in high end trips to Kenya, especially for guests who are keen on horse-riding.

The usual stay duration is 3-4 nights.

Seasonality

The best time of year to visit Borana is generally considered to be the Jun-Oct dry season, but there are good reasons to visit during other months.

Getting around

Borana is usually accessed by light aircraft from Nairobi.

It is also possible to connect by road from lodges in Lewa, other parts of Laikipia and as far afield as Samburu and Mathews Range.

a great equestrian option for high-end safaris
