Stay

At the heart of Borana Conservancy

Why stay in a luxury safari lodge in Kenya when you can enjoy the privacy and flexibility of an exclusive family home – with friendly staff to cater for your every need. Lengishu offers the freedom to choose your own itinerary, not bound by the constraints of other safari lodges.

Lengishu is built with locally sourced materials and designed to blend in with the surrounding environment. Expertly crafted by local artisans, the house features beautiful exposed Kenyan timber work while stone for the floors and intricate design features were excavated from the site itself. The interiors are tastefully decorated in neutral tones with splashes of red in a nod to the owner’s Scottish heritage and that of their neighbours; the Maasai community.

All bedrooms are spacious with fireplaces or wood burning stoves for the cooler evenings, and have en-suite bathrooms with rain showers and freestanding copper bathtubs. Floor to ceiling windows provide majestic views of the undulating plains beyond, perfect for bathtub game viewing.
