About the lodge
About Elewana Kifaru House.
Kifaru House takes its name from the Swahili word for rhino, fitting for Lewa, which shelters about a tenth of Kenya's rhinos. With only five cottages, it feels like a private home.
Breakfast is served on a terrace above the waterhole, and an infinity pool looks out over the plains. Log fires warm the lounge and dining room in the evenings.

When to go
The lodge through the year.
Borana says its rains have usually come in March and April, as short, heavy showers. It adds that patterns are getting harder to predict.
Borana Lodge names these as favourite months, with clear, warm weather before the school holidays.
Borana's other usual rainy month, when storms can last longer, sometimes a whole day.
