SOLIO

Tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains, the incredible 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve is internationally recognised as one of the most successful private rhino breeding sanctuaries in East Africa. Visitors will find that sightings of up to 40 rhinoceros at a time are not uncommon.

With over 200 black and white rhinos living on Solio Conservancy, spending time with such vast numbers of these majestic beasts and seeing them at such close range is fascinating and mesmerising. Four out of the Big Five can also be found in the reserve. There are no elephants at Solio as they have been purposely fenced out to preserve the vegetation for the endangered black rhino. Reticulated giraffe, eland, waterbuck, lion, leopard, cheetah and many other species can all be spotted.

Activities at Solio are diverse, with excursions and things to do for the whole family. Aside from game drives, guests can head out to encounter some of the wildlife on the ranch by foot, bicycle or even horseback. Epic helicopter excursions to Mount Kenya, the Aberdare National Park and flamingo filled lakes are on offer with the option of trout fishing for avid anglers.
