More than 350 species have been recorded across the wider Laikipia Plateau, and many of these are found on Solio Ranch. It’s a great birding destination with many north Kenya specials and a mix of habitats. Solio’s proximity to the Aberdares also adds further possibilities in the ranch’s woodland areas. Private game drives and guided walks can be arranged. Let the guide know if birding is your primary interest.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Solio Ranch offers good bird watching throughout the year. The best time for birders is from December to February when the migrants from Europe and North Africa can be seen. The migratory species are present from November to April, but it’s best to avoid periods of peak rainfall. This partly coincides with the Wet season (October to May) when many species in breeding plumage are nesting.
