About Borana

Borana provides is a peaceful setting for any African Safari experience. Borana offers a panoramic view of Mount Kenya snow-topped peaks and glaciers to the south and desert to the north.

 

Residence to the Dyer family for three generations, Borana takes its name from the native Boran cattle kept on these arid grasslands. The ranch sits within a vast conservation area and the Dyer family is dedicated to working alongside its neighbours to preserve the natural environment and to promote economic and social improvements in the area.

 

Come to Borana and draw on the Dyer’s knowledge of this magical land to create the ultimate safari experience. Or just relax in the luxury and harmonious comfort of The Lodge or the discreet private residence Laragai House.

 

Wildlife

During a good afternoon in Borana Ranch, you might see 23 different kinds of wild animals. Around 300 elephants roam freely across the ranch plus a dozen matriarch cows with radio collars in the Laikipia area so that we can monitor their movements.

 

One matriarch took her extended family of sixty for 92 miles in one week. This research is of great importance to us in our search for a way in which they and we can continue to live together in the future.

 

As cattle raising farmers, the Dyers constantly seeking a way to live in harmony with Africa’s predators and monitor the lions closely to protect the cattle, camels, sheep and horses from their depredation.

 

The ranch still loses close to a hundred heads of livestock each year to lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and jackals.
