Sosian Lodge

A fantastic original Kenyan farmhouse, offering a peaceful environment. Sosian Lodge lies in 24,000 acres of unrivalled and breathtaking terrain spanning across the heart of the Laikipia plateau, stretching from the Great Rift Valley to Mount Kenya. Laikipia is not a national park or reserve however is now a thriving success story in terms of conservation. This beautifully restored African ranch house was built in the 1940’s. The lodge itself now functions simultaneously as a luxury safari lodge and a cattle ranch. Ideal for those looking for a unique and intimate bush experience.

The lodge sleeps 14 people with more space for children if needed in the family cottage, with interconnecting rooms to sleep another three children with their own bathroom. The rooms are all en-suite with their own private verandas. The cottage, known as the Italian cottage was built by Italian artisans post war. The main lodge has a beautiful swimming pool, plus a tennis court, organic vegetable garden and a stable yard of 30 safari horses.

The lodge has a herd of Boran cattle that guests are encouraged to interact with. Guests are able to be involved with the day to day duties of ranch life if you wish. Sosian offers a huge range of activities including walking, horse-back safaris, camel safaris, game-drives, night-drives, fishing, archery, tennis and swimming in the waterfalls behind the lodge. Sosian camels are friendly and at times can be overly affectionate! Camel riding is a fun activity and typically a ride will last 40 minutes or so and allows you to see the bush from a great vantage point.
