About
Solio Ranch, is an electric fenced, protected area geared toward Rhino conservation. The private 17,500-acre Solio Game Reserve, 22km north of Nyeri, plays a major part in preserving and breeding black rhinos in Kenya. The Ranch also supports a very diverse population of raptors. The ranch still lies within a greater area of indigenous woodland that buffers the effect of man a perfect place for conservation efforts. At Solio the contrast in topography and wildlife in this 18,000 acre reserve is stunning. Huge stands of yellow acacia compliment the higher rolling plains whilst a bountiful marsh, Solio's lifeline, bisects the sanctuary. Over 120 black and white rhinos live here. Most of the plains species can be seen here, the predators, lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena, as well as two northern species, the reticulated giraffe and the beisa oryx. I really enjoyed visiting this place the last time i was here & got the close encounter with the Black Rhino an endangered species under CITES appendix one of the most vulnerable creatures that need urgent conservation initiative.
