Our take
Laragai House is an exclusive-use eight-bedroom home on Borana Conservancy in Laikipia. A staffed household, private pool, tennis court and varied conservancy activities make it a spacious base for families or friends travelling together.
Laragai is a private family home within Borana Conservancy, with views across Laikipia and a staff team looking after one group at a time. The house offers a drawing room, dining room, bar, television room and games room, alongside a pool house and gardens. Its character is more that of a hosted country house than a tented safari camp. Guests can divide their time between wildlife activities and an unhurried day at home.

01
Accommodation
Laragai has eight bedrooms sleeping up to sixteen guests. Accommodation includes double and twin configurations, with rooms arranged to suit adults and children within the private house. Bedroom furnishings and outlooks vary, rather than following an identical hotel-room design. For a family or mixed group, the exact bedroom and bathroom allocation is an important part of planning the stay, particularly when children need to sleep close to their parents.
02
Food & drink
The house is staffed and catered for a private group, with meals in the dining room or outdoor settings according to the day’s plans. A whole-house stay allows the programme to reflect the group’s preferences. Dietary requirements, children’s meals and celebration arrangements are best discussed together with the room plan before arrival.
03
What to do
Day and night drives explore Borana Conservancy. Guided walks and ranger-led rhino tracking provide a different perspective, while horse riding is available for a range of experience levels. Mountain biking and paddleboarding on the dam add variety. At the house, guests can use the infinity pool, tennis court, gym and games room or arrange a massage. Ngare Ndare Forest and helicopter outings are optional excursions that need additional time and planning.
Planning your stay
An exclusive booking gives families shared living spaces and flexible days. Bedroom and bathroom arrangements need to be agreed for the particular group, especially with young children. The swimming pool, riding and dam activities each require appropriate supervision and age-sensitive planning.
Laragai combines a substantial private home with Borana’s wildlife and conservation setting. Its tennis court, gym, games room and pool complement safari activities, giving a mixed-age group options without everyone needing to follow the same programme all day.
Borana is a Laikipia conservancy, not a Mara camp. Ranger experiences, riding and excursions depend on suitability and availability. Arrange bedrooms around the needs of the group, particularly where children need adjoining accommodation or guests prefer fewer steps.

Allow enough nights to balance Borana’s wildlife with riding, walking and time at the house. Laragai pairs naturally with a Maasai Mara stay for contrasting scenery and wildlife. For a larger party, plan transfers and vehicle numbers around the whole group rather than only the house capacity.
