Solio Lodge

Between the soaring peaks of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains lies Solio Lodge. As the only accommodation on the 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve, this exclusive lodge provides an unparalleled safari experience in Laikipia, Kenya. With full board service, enjoy exquisite cuisine inspired by local ingredients, with all meals and drinks included. The lodge features five private guest cottages, each offering expansive views of Mount Kenya through floor-to-ceiling windows. Relax on your private sundeck, listening to the sounds of wildlife as you soak in the serenity of the surrounding landscape.

The lodge’s history dates back to 1966 when it was established as a pioneering rhino breeding sanctuary, now internationally recognised for its conservation efforts. Today, over 200 black and white rhinos roam the 19,000-acre core conservancy. It’s not uncommon to witness large herds of rhinos grazing peacefully on the open plains, a sight both humbling and awe-inspiring.

Beyond the rhino encounters, Solio offers a wealth of outdoor adventures and each day at Solio is crafted to balance adventure and relaxation. Set out on thrilling game drives, capturing the magic of dawn or dusk as the conservancy comes alive with wildlife. Meanwhile, cycling and walking safaris offer a more intimate connection with the environment. At the lodge, unwind with in-room spa treatments or watch the wildlife gather at the nearby watering hole. Nature walks with expert guides provide insight into the region’s rich birdlife and ecosystems, while bush breakfasts and sundowners offer a truly authentic safari experience as you dine among the wildlife or sip cocktails as the African sun sets over the horizon.
