About the Private Lodge
Set within Kenya’s Borana Conservancy, Arijiju combines minimalist luxury with sustainable design. Inspired by Ethiopia’s rock-hewn churches, its architecture is crafted from local stone and timber, complemented by solar energy. The main house comprises three bedroom suites, a herb and lavender garden, generous living areas, a kitchen and a cinema. A terraced pool area with loungers and a pool bar invites long, languid moments of relaxation. Two additional private guest suites, together with a wellness centre featuring a gym, yoga platforms and a hammam, complete the lodge.
Kids & Teens
Children of all ages are warmly welcomed at Arijiju. The lodge team offers dedicated children’s safaris, nature explorations and creative workshops, allowing younger guests to experience the wonders of the African wilderness in a safe and engaging way. These family-friendly activities create unforgettable experiences for all ages.
Experiences & Activities
Arijiju offers an exceptional range of experiences, including game drives, bush walks, horse riding and yoga. Helicopter excursions can also be arranged for those drawn to adventure. Borana Conservancy is home to more than 300 elephants, 334 bird species and numerous endangered animals such as black rhino. Through their stay, guests actively contribute to the protection of these species, supporting elephant corridors and lion research projects while enjoying an intimate connection with unspoilt nature. Sustainability lies at the heart of it all — a philosophy that defines the magic of Arijiju.

Best time to travel
The best time to visit Laikipia in Kenya is between June and October as well as December and March, when the dry season offers optimal conditions for wildlife viewing. During these months, the animals are easy to spot and the weather is pleasantly warm. The months of April, May and November also have their own appeal, as the rainy season turns the landscape lush and green and the region feels quieter, although access to some areas may be limited by the weather.
The months of July to October are especially rewarding when the Great Migration is taking place in the neighbouring Masai Mara, while December to March is ideal for birdwatching and clear conditions. Laikipia is a fascinating destination year-round, with a moderate climate and distinctive experiences in every season.

Destination region
Laikipia
Kenya’s Laikipia region is home to one of East Africa’s most important conservation areas, stretching across a vast savannah landscape. It is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes and the rare Grevy’s zebra, as well as the black (“black”) and white (“white”) rhinoceros. Laikipia offers distinctive safari experiences, where visitors can enjoy both traditional game drives and walking safaris. Particularly memorable are experiences such as tracking lions with expert guides or visiting local villages to learn more about Samburu and Maasai culture.
For families, Laikipia is an exceptional destination, with special programmes such as the “Juneor Ranger” and interactive wildlife encounters that will captivate children too. For many, the highlight is the chance to stay in luxurious, eco-conscious lodges and watch wildlife directly from the terrace.
