overview

Sosian Lodge is an intimate luxury safari retreat nestled within a 24,000-acre working cattle and wildlife ranch on the Laikipia Plateau, approximately 80 km west of Mount Kenya. With only seven air‑conditioned en‑suite cottages and the historic 1940s Italian farmhouse at its heart, Sosian provides an exclusive, home‑style safari experience blended with wide-open wilderness and stunning views.

About

Founded in the 1940s and restored with local style and craftsmanship, Sosian embodies authentic safari hospitality rooted in conservation and community. As part of a private conservancy, it supports local ecosystems and rare species like wild dog and Grevy’s zebra, while offering guests engaging experiences—from wildlife drives to ranch life immersion—all delivered with warm, personal service and eco-conscious values.

Rooms

Accommodation includes seven individual stone-and-wood cottages set within lush gardens, including the unique Italian Cottage ideal for honeymoons and a connected Family Cottage for groups. Each cottage features en-suite facilities, private verandas, modern amenities, and interiors styled with Argentinian beds and elegant hardwood floors, reflecting the relaxed yet refined character of the lodge.

Dining

Dining is unhurried and congenial, using home-grown and locally sourced produce from the lodge’s organic gardens, ranch dairy, and local farms. Meals are served in settings ranging from the farmhouse dining room and pool-side to candlelit bush suppers or breakfast beneath acacia trees, all accompanied by fine wines and attentive, family-style service.

Activity

Sosian offers an exceptional range of experiences: guided game drives by day and night, horse and camel safaris, walking safaris with a tracker, river swimming and waterfall jumping, fly‑camp nights, archery, cultural visits to local Samburu, Turkana or Pokot communities, and facilities such as a tennis court, solar-heated pool, and stable of safari-trained horses.
