Solio Lodge | Laikipia, Kenya

Spectacular place to arrive in Kenya - a simply unique environment rich in white and black rhinos. Our guide (Jonathan) was first class (in fact, he's applying to be one of only 30 gold rated guides in the whole of the country). He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of flora and fauna and very happy to answer all of our questions. Within 10 mins of arriving at the property we came across a pride of 16 lions lazing around a buffalo carcass. They have over 100 rhinos in the conservancy and it's an amazing opportunity to see rhinos up close - in other parks you only see them through the binoculars. The lodge itself is also incredible - beautiful, spacious rooms and the best food we had anywhere on safari. The "Bush Breakfast" is a must do!
