Lengishu

Lengishu

Lengishu is an exclusive-use family home offering unparalleled luxury accommodation in Laikipia at the heart of Kenya’s 32,000 acre Borana Conservancy, the country’s newest and most successful rhino sanctuary. We consider this property one of the best luxury safari lodges in Kenya.

Nestled into a ridge with stunning views across the Laikipia plains and deep into the Northern Frontier, Lengishu is a luxury home for up to 12 guests, offering sustainable tourism and safari adventures in one of Kenya’s leading wildlife destinations. The house features six beautifully appointed bedrooms within four cottages, each situated apart from the main house. All rooms face east over the valley below, offering spectacular sunrise views.

Fish Eagle and Goshawk are standalone double rooms, perfect for couples. The Upper and Lower Cottages work well for guests traveling with young children or couples on safari together, with the bedrooms leading off a shared sitting room that is found at the center of the cottage.

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.

Lengishu is situated on Borana Conservancy—home to The Big Five, along with an abundance of other species of African wildlife—brings you to the heart of the action. Working with the Conservancy, they offer a wealth of game drives and other safari adventures on land, by air, and on horseback, along with hands-on conservation experiences, accompanied by your own private guide.
