Life in Camp
Solio Lodge is the sole accommodation within the 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve, a sanctuary celebrated for its successful rhino breeding program. The lodge features five contemporary cottages, each designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding wilderness. There’s an abundance of wildlife, including both black and white rhinos, lions, leopards and a great variety of antelope species. Beyond the traditional safari activities there’s horseback riding, cycling and guided walks, all that offer unique perspectives of the Laikipia landscape. For those seeking something slower after their game drive there are spa treatments and some delicious gourmet dining to enhance your stay. Solio Lodge seamlessly combines conservation efforts with luxury, providing a meaningful and memorable safari experience.
Timing Your Trip
Solio Lodge offers remarkable experiences throughout the year. The dry seasons, from January to March and June to October, provide optimal conditions for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. For Will the key months are March and November, as clouds gather and the perfect stormy backdrop comes together for your images.

Will's Ideal Pairing
"If you're on Solio then you're likely a photographer as this is rhino photography heaven. The best pairing would likely be Amboseli in this instance, where you can swap rhinos for elephants and Mt. Kenya for Mt. Kilimanjaro."
