Child-Friendly Adventures
We understand that family safaris should be fun and educational for children too. That's why we've created the Borana Kid’s activity book. This special exercise book introduces children to the wonders of the African bush while instilling a love for wildlife and conservation guaranteed to keep them busy even throughout the heat of the day. Our knowledgeable guides will engage young minds with fascinating facts about the animals and plants they encounter both at the lodge and beyond. We also encourage all children to visit the Waitabit Permaculture Farm to get an insight into where food comes from and sustainable farming practices. This experience pairs perfectly with a picnic lunch in the shade of a fig tree followed by an exhilarating swim in the Ngare Ndare River.
Along with this we have a number of docile horses which can cater to all riding abilities and take our young guests on rides across the plains, an unforgettable experience for our younger guests.

Wildlife Encounters
One of the highlights of a family safari in Kenya is the opportunity to spend time with the "Big Five" – lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos.
