Unbelievable rhino encounters, first class hospitality, exquisite cuisine and abundant outdoor adventures.

SOLIO LODGE

Solio is famed as a lodge in Kenya for its unique and mind-blowing rhino viewing experiences. Tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains, it is the only guest accommodation on the incredible 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve. 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.

LUXURY LODGE KENYA

This luxury lodge Kenya boasts a fantastic location in a fertile valley between the Aberdare Mountain Range and Africa’s second highest mountain, Mount Kenya. Both of these forest-covered mountains act as vital ‘water towers’ to the nation, generating and storing water like giant living sponges to be slowly released through their myriad of streams. Exciting and enriching excursions can be arranged to visit both areas of interest. By road, the entrance to the Aberdare National Park is just a short drive away from the lodge, making it a perfect day trip destination. Guests can also explore both mountain ranges in our private helicopter for an adrenalin-filled and unforgettable adventure.

Rich soils surround this luxury lodge Kenya in the valley bottom, meaning the landscape is dotted with forest and grasslands making it a haven for wildlife. It’s also ideal for agriculture and Solio Lodge offers a range of informative excursions to several nearby farms which use innovative sustainable practices we love to support. Tour a working coffee plantation to learn how your morning coffee is grown, harvested and processed; visit a family-run flower farm specialising in the most delightfully scented garden roses; take a tour around the farm which grows and makes all the natural, aromatic and deliciously fragrant products we provide for you in the rooms at our camps and lodges. More importantly, the productive soils enable us to grow an abundance of scrumptious fresh produce in our kitchen garden at the lodge for our guests to enjoy.
