Lengishu

Lengishu is an exclusive-use family home in Kenya's 32,000-acre Borana Conservancy, built for large families or groups travelling together. Six bedrooms across four separate cottages sleep up to 12 guests, each built from local stone with teak and gum-pole beams, fireplace or wood-burning stove, and a freestanding copper bathtub. In the standalone Master and Goshawk rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows are angled so you can watch wildlife on the plains below while you bathe.

Track black rhino across the conservancy, home to a population reintroduced in 2013 as part of one of Kenya's most successful breeding programmes. Warm up by the fire on a cool Laikipia evening, or take a soak in the copper tub while the light changes over the valley. At 2,000 metres, Lengishu sits above the malaria line too.
