Solio Ranch

Solio Ranch is Kenya's original and most successful private rhino sanctuary, nestled in the highlands between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range. This working cattle ranch turned conservation powerhouse has bred over 200 rhinos since the 1970s, supplying rhinos to restock parks and sanctuaries across Kenya and beyond. Covering 70 square kilometres of open grassland at around 2,000 metres elevation, Solio is home to both black and white rhinos in one of the highest densities anywhere in Africa. The backdrop of Mount Kenya's snow-capped peaks and the Aberdare forests makes for spectacular photography. Despite its importance, Solio remains relatively unknown to mainstream tourism.
