The 24,000-acre private, working ranch sits on the Laikipia plateau, 80kms west of Mt Kenya, offering pure wilderness, with more than 250 species of birdlife and an abundance of game species with four of the big five being found at Sosian Ranch, plus rare species such as Wild dogs, Jackson’s hartebeest and Grevy’s zebra.
Sosian lodge is a beautifully restored African ranch house that was built in the 1940’s by Italian artisans, and accommodates up to fourteen people in the atmosphere of a private home. Four cottages lie in the tropical garden overlooking Mt. Kenya and miles of unspoiled Africa, each with its own private verandah and ensuite bathroom.
As well as all the exciting safari activities on offer each day, the lodge has a swimming pool, tennis court and miles of wilderness to explore with our top guides. Sosian is well known for its delicious home cooking using fresh ingredients from the organic vegetable garden and for its warm and friendly hospitality.
Room
Guests are accommodated in an elegant 1940s farmhouse that has been beautifully renovated. The lodge sleeps 14 with more space for children if needed, in the family cottage, which has an interconnecting room to sleep another three children with their own bathroom. All the rooms are en suite with their own private verandas. There's also a larger and more private honeymoon cottage, known as the Italian cottage, built by Italian artisans post war.
Double Rooms
Sosian Ranch have 3 double rooms but can make more if necessary. All have en suite bathrooms and their own veranda.
Family Cottage
This cottage can either be a 2 or 3 bedroom unit, accommodating a family of up to 7 people. There is a double room with an interconnecting twin or triple, which has its own bathroom (with a bath). The double room also has an en suite bathroom (with a shower). There is also a twin en suite (with shower) room next door, with separate access through it's own door.
Italian Cottage
This is their honeymoon cottage, which is set in its own private garden area with extra privacy. It is the largest of all our rooms with bedroom, walk through closet and large bathroom with twin basins, shower and bath.
Twin Rooms
Sosian Ranch have 4 twin rooms. All have en suite bathrooms and their own veranda.
Dining
Sosian is well known for its delicious home cooking using as many local and fresh ingredients as possible, often home grown. After the mornings activities we tend to have big breakfasts or brunch on the riverbank or on the lodge veranda, enjoying the gardens. Lunch can be served either by the pool before an afternoon sunbathing or playing tennis, or otherwise in a nice shady picnic spot in the bush. Before heading out in the afternoons we have tea on the veranda and dinner either in back the beautiful lodge dining room or under the stars in the bush.
