Solio Ranch Conservancy

History

Solio Ranch Conservancy was originally a cattle ranch with an emphasis on rhino conservation. As a result, it was designated as a reserve in 1970. The Conservancy supplies rhinos to other reserves in East Africa, where they are part of a breeding program for black rhinos. It has a substantial population of white rhinos. The Solio Ranch Conservancy is tucked away in a valley between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains, about 110 miles north of Nairobi. It is located 24 kilometers away from Nyeri Town along Nyeri-Nyahururu highway.
