Below the lodge is a dam where elephant gather to bathe; lion and leopard move through the area at night. In 2014, Borana and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy removed the fence between them, forming a single landscape of ninety-two thousand acres. That landscape holds over one hundred black rhino and ninety-two white rhino — fourteen percent of Kenya's total rhino population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has eight rooms across six cottages. Four stand-alone cottages are built into the hillside, each with a fireplace, en-suite bathroom with both shower and bath, and a verandah facing the valley. Two further cottages are configured for families, each with a double and a twin room sharing a sitting room and minibar; the most recent of these also has a private plunge pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActivities are run by trained Kenyan field guides and conservancy rangers. Game drives go out morning, afternoon, and after dinner. Each morning, rangers are required to locate every individual rhino on the conservancy; guests can join that tracking exercise on foot. Horse riding is available from two sets of stables — ex-polo ponies for experienced riders, quieter horses for beginners — and mountain bikes are available for the hills. Guided bush walks, anti-poaching deployment visits, and a trip to the Ngare Ndare forest on the southern boundary are all options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has a pool, a spa, and communal dining.

Cottages come in one- or two-bedroom layouts, each with an en-suite bathroom, a lounge and dining area, and a verandah running the width of the building. The two-bedroom version sleeps up to six, beds arranged as a king or as single beds across the rooms. Meals are cooked to order, from breakfast to sundowners, and served wherever the group chooses to eat that day. Mount Kenya rises beyond the flat Laikipia plateau, visible from the cottage decks on a clear morning. Game drives, night drives and guided walks run daily, tracking rhino, elephant and the birdlife that moves through the riverine bush nearby. It is a quiet, family-run base, built by safari veterans who have spent decades running camps across southern and East Africa.
