Borana Conservancy is found on the foothills of Mt Kenya, a few miles north of the equator. It is one of Kenya's most successfull rhino conservation areas home to The Big Five and more.

Location

Borana Conservancy is dedicated to the conservation of land, wildlife and building local livelihoods

In 2013, Borana introduced 21 black rhino from Lake Nakuru National Park and the neighbouring Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Lewa and Borana cooperate closely on all conservation matters and have now dropped the adjoining fences between the two conservancies. This contiguous landscape now boasts 106 black and 98 white rhino, making it arguably one of the best places in Kenya to see rhino. Whilst a draw for many visitors, rhino are not the only big game you will find on the conservancy. All of the Big Five can be seen here. Borana Conservancy is also one of the best places for birdwatching in East Africa with close to 300 species of bird.
