Tucked away in a quiet corner of Borana Lodge, The Wallow is a sanctuary of calm - a peaceful pause in the middle of the wild. Surrounded by birdsong, sweeping views, and the stillness of nature, our small spa offers a space to breathe deeply, let go, and truly reconnect with yourself.
After days of adventure - game drives, horse rides, bush walks - The Wallow offers a gentle counterbalance: time to rest, recover and be completely cared for.
Treatments Designed for the Wild
Each of our treatments has been thoughtfully created to complement your time on safari, using natural, nourishing products and techniques that restore and revive.
- Holistic Massage
A full-body treatment designed to ease tension and promote deep relaxation. Gentle, flowing strokes and focused pressure combine to bring your nervous system back into balance - perfect after long travel days or bumpy game drives. - Rejuvenating Body Polish
Using a natural exfoliant to remove dry skin and awaken the senses, this polish leaves your skin glowing and your body refreshed—ideal before a dip in the pool or an evening sundowner. - Arnica Massage Melt
A powerful targeted treatment for sore muscles and stiffness. Arnica and healing oils are massaged into the body, relieving aches and restoring movement. - Pressure Point Foot Massage
Deeply grounding and surprisingly restorative, this foot-focused treatment works on reflex points to rebalance energy, aid circulation, and calm the body from the ground up.
Products That Work in Harmony with Nature
We are proud to work with two local and African-rooted product ranges:
- Cinnabar Green – Our go-to for massage oils. We use both their energising and relaxing blends, which are made using essential oils grown on the foothills of Mt. Kenya. Pure, effective, and deeply aromatic.
- Jani – A natural skincare range formulated with care. Rich in botanicals, Jani products are kind to both your skin and the environment.
These products are selected not only for their quality and scent, but because they align with our values - organic where possible, small-scale, and proudly local.
