Location
Nestled into a ridge with stunning views across the Laikipia Plateau and the Northern Frontier, Lengishu is located in one of Kenya’s leading wildlife destinations. In the foothills of Mount Kenya, the Borana Conservancy offers a variety of habitats and wildlife: arid landscape to the north and ancient indigenous forests to the south, with a thriving population of over 200 black and white rhino.
Blending seamlessly into its surroundings and built entirely out of sustainable materials, the house has been crafted by local artisans using Kenyan timber, stone excavated from the site itself, as well as earth from the hillside to clad the walls. Inside, the interiors are tasteful with a neutral color palette interspersed with splashes of red in a nod to the owner’s Scottish heritage and that of their neighbors, the local Samburu community.
