Visiting
the rhinos
Nestled on the Laikipia Plateau, in the shadow of its namesake, Mount Kenya, you’ll find the secluded haven of Solio Lodge.
This intimate lodge boasts just five stone cottages, each topped with a traditional thatched roof. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the Solio private conservancy, Kenya’s premier rhino sanctuary.
Each cottage features a spacious bedroom, an expansive bathroom with panoramic views, a private veranda, and a cozy courtyard. The family cottage offers two en-suite bedrooms, and a shared living area, providing ample space for both togetherness and solitude.
Servers present gourmet meals on the open-air terrace, allowing guests to savor the stunning scenery. The meals are crafted from the finest local ingredients and herbs from the lodge’s own garden.
The Solio Conservancy is renowned for its thriving rhino population; it’s not uncommon to spot up to 40 of these magnificent creatures at once. But that’s not all – the conservancy is also home to impalas, buffalo, giraffes, lions, leopards, and a host of other wildlife.
Solio Lodge’s prime location makes it the perfect launchpad for a variety of adventures. Guests can opt for a picnic in a volcanic crater, try their hand at trout fishing in Aberdare National Park, tour a coffee plantation, or embark on a mountain biking excursion. One of the most popular outings is a helicopter flight into the heart of northern Kenya, revealing the vibrant canyons and sand dunes of the Suguta Valley, the iconic Nabiyotum crater, and the thousands of flamingos that flock to Lake Turkana.
Settle in, raise a glass at sunset, and watch the rhinos graze.
It’s better to see it once,

Each hotel has its unique flair, ambiance, and charm. The wild African landscape surrounding these hotels offers a wealth of parks and activities. Don’t try to cram it all into one trip!
Solio Lodge offers an exceptionally personalized getaway with just five suites, each boasting a fireplace, private terrace, and expansive en-suite bathrooms. The small, private Solio Conservancy is meticulously managed by dedicated rangers, providing a sanctuary not only for lions, giraffes, and the usual savanna wildlife but also for an astounding number of rhinos. In the evenings, it’s not unusual to encounter a herd of 40—your driver will seek them out, and if the rhinos are in the mood, you might just find yourself sharing a sunset and a glass of wine with them.
Ol Jogi – Kenya’s largest private wildlife conservancy – 60,000 acres of pure, unadulterated wilderness, all for you. The exquisite interiors, impeccable service, and gourmet French cuisine are just the appetizers; the main course is the pristine, untouched African landscape, a sight found nowhere else on the continent. Part of the conservancy is a rehabilitation center, where you can get up close and personal with elephants, rhinos, and even a brown bear (the story of how that guy ended up in Africa is a Russian soap opera in itself).

We fell in love with Africa for its unique nature and people. The emotions we have experienced here are hard to convey but can be given, that’s why we have dedicated our lives to it. Each point of the route has already been tried by us personally, it remains to make an individual program for you personally.
