Day 1

Solio Ranch

You've been dreaming of your safari for so long and now it's finally about to begin. You'll meet your guide who will tell you everything you need to know to get your safari started. We're as excited as you are to get your trip underway.

Located between Mt Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains (and with views of both), Solio Ranch is a wonderful safari experience. Solio is home to one of the most successful rhino breeding programs in Kenya, and there are dense concentrations of both black and white rhinos. Other wildlife is also possible here, including lion, leopard and cheetah, but the rhinos are the real stars.

It opened in 1932, and it was here in 1952 that the UK's Queen Elizabeth II learned that her father had died and she was to become queen. The lodge has a restaurant and a wildlife-viewing deck that overlooks a waterhole (as do many rooms) that attracts elephants.

Day 5 & 6

Masai Mara National Reserve

One of our favorite places to look for wildlife in Kenya is the Masai Mara National Reserve.
