Guided Bush Walks
Borana Conservancy offers an excellent opportunity for guided bush walks. While the conservancy is home to the ‘Big Five,’ walking allows you to explore smaller animals and observe the rich birdlife up close. We recommend taking an early morning walk before breakfast, when temperatures are cooler, and our highly experienced guides can provide the whole family with insights into the local flora, fauna, and wildlife.
scenic safari & Helicopter Trips
A helicopter ride offers one of the best ways to experience Kenya’s stunning and varied landscapes. In just one day, you can take in snow-capped mountains, deserts, volcanic lakes, lush tropical forests, and expansive savannahs. Laragai House is ideally situated for helicopter excursions into the Great North, with access to the country's most experienced pilots.
Rest And Relaxation
After a game drive, indulge in a massage or unwind in the bath, where you can enjoy views of elephants and other large game, or simply take in the expansive vistas of the conservancy.
Ngare Ndare Forest
The Ngare Ndare Forest offers a fantastic day trip for guests staying at Laragai House. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the canopy walkway, which stretches 40 feet above the ground among the treetops. At the end of the suspended walkway, a platform provides a breathtaking view of a natural spring and the surrounding forest. The forest is also home to crystal-clear blue pools, fed by glaciers from Mount Kenya, making it an ideal spot for swimming and picnicking.
