Being a 24,000 acre wildlife ranch, Sosian Lodge pride themselves on managing a unique blend of tourism, conservation and traditional cattle ranching in Laikipia’s highlands.

The original ranch house was built in the 1940’s by Italian artisans and has been beautifully restored to accommodate up to 14 people (and more on request).  Four double cottages are dotted throughout the gardens, against a back drop of Mt Kenya with views for miles over the Laikipia Plateau. This is true unspoilt Africa.  The lodge has a beautiful swimming pool, plus a tennis court, organic vegetable garden and a stable yard of 30 safari horses.

The list of safari activities available is extensive - horseback riding, mountain biking, walking safaris, camel treks, tennis - and the ranch lies at an altitude of 5500ft, which makes for a perfect climate, with no record of malaria.

Horses

The horses are a mixture of Percheron-Boerperd, Friesian-Boerperd, Arab-French-Somali crossbreds, Appaloosas and thoroughbreds, ridden English-style in general-purpose and French cavalry saddles. They are used to living at close quarters with wild animals and are familiar with being amongst big game. Each horse is schooled for the sole purpose of carrying guests safely through the African wilderness.

Riding Level

All Levels Welcome

For beginners and non-riders, there are activities available onsite which cater to all levels.

Tack and Terrain

English tack (general purpose saddles) or French cavalry saddles.

Terrain consists of open, grassy plains, hills, rocky outcrops, rivers, and mountains. Enjoy exploring the differing topography of the area: open bush, wooded riverine areas, wetlands, and strange rock formations home to large baobabs.

Accommodation

The original main house provides classic elegance with a dining room, sitting room, bar and billiards room.  Four cottages are then spread across the tropical gardens offering 6 en suite rooms, plus a family cottage, each with their own private verandas.  The beautiful swimming pool and pool house provide welcome refreshment after a day out in the bush and for those with the energy, a 'Kenya style' tennis court has held many a fine tournament!

Dining

All meals are taken family-style. This adds to the family feel that makes guests feel so welcome and at home here.
