The rooms all have their own living area complete with a roaring log fire and a huge bathroom. Each room is designed individually so no two are the same.

While at Solio, your activities include day and night game drives in the company of your expert guide, morning bird walks and sundowner walks, horse-riding, mountain biking, helicopter trips and fishing trips to Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains.
Solio Camp works particularly well in combination with its sister-camp in the Mara, Sala’s Camp – please see our suggested itinerary for more details, and call us to find out more!
