Solio is a modern style lodge with beautiful glass walled villa type rooms. While the reserve is fenced and you will see them as you drive along, the game viewing here is very good, especially for rhino, both black and white.

Solio Lodge is located on a private wildlife sanctuary, tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains, directly north of Nairobi. This intimate and luxurious lodge opened in August 2010 and remains the only guest accommodation on the incredible 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve.
The lodge has five contemporary luxurious cottages with private decks and panoramic views of the nearby hills and Mount Kenya in the distance. Each room has a private lounge area with open fire for cooler evenings, as well as large en-suite bathrooms with a double sink, bath and shower. Solio Lodge takes full advantage of its spectacular surroundings. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows frame distant Mount Kenya and outdoor sundecks afford panoramic views. One of our luxurious cottages can be turned into an interconnected family unit with two en-suite bedrooms, sleeping up to five guests. Dinner is often served outside under the stars and the chefs use fresh organic ingredients from Solio Lodge’s own vegetable garden.
The Solio Reserve is internationally recognized as the most successful private rhino breeding reserve in Kenya and visitors will find that sightings of up to 40 rhinoceros at a time are not uncommon. A wide range of activities including game drives, horse riding, a visit to a Kenya coffee plantation and birdwatching are offered. Back at the Lodge you can relax with the help from our massage therapists who are available for in-room treatments.
