Solio Lodge – A sophisticated enclave and one of the best places to see black and white rhinos in all of Africa Neatly tucked away in between the majestic slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdares Mountains, Solio Lodge offers the exclusivity of a private ranch and an awe-inspiring wildlife experience. This modern and exciting lodge is the only property in the 19,000 acre Solio rhino sanctuary, which is set within the 45,000 acre Solio Ranch. This was one of the first private conservancies in Kenya and is today one of the country’s best-kept secrets. With more than 200 endangered black and white rhinos living in harmony alongside other African wildlife – such as leopards, lions and a wide variety of birds – the location offers an intense wildlife experience. Diverse activities are available for guests of all energy levels. Soaking up the magnificent beauty of Mount Kenya is definitely an option, but so are walking and mountain-biking, horseback-riding, and a 4WD safari in the rhino sanctuary. The lodge is also an excellent starting point for scenic helicopter flights up Mount Kenya, and it offers easy road access to Aberdares National Park. The lodge has just six luxurious rooms. Each has a private lounge area warmed by a corner fire, as well as a large ensuite bathroom with double sink, bath and shower. And the ensuites feature enormous windows that allow you to take in panoramic views of the landscape, including Mount Kenya. The guestrooms are designed for both warmth (Solio is high in altitude and can be cold at night) and outdoor living, with each having a deck in front for relaxation during the day. You will also find some of the most mouth-watering food in all of Kenya at Solio Lodge. Savor these wonderful meals in the bush, on the deck, in the main dining room or privately in the comfort of your cottage. Map ref: 153
