Fires were lit for our return, which make such a fabulous welcome after a full wildlife excitement.
We spent 2 nights in Solio Laikipia, so as to write a great review of the Solio Game Reserve in the Mount Kenya area of Kenya.
Solio is a special privately held sanctuary sandwiched on the Laikipia Plain, between the Abedares and Mt Kenya.
All Solio Ranch Lodges are private, modern, roomy and ecofriendly with breathtaking views.The apartments at Solio Lodge also have unique lavatories (bath and rain showers) have fires lit for your return, which are such a wonderful welcome after a full wildlife adventure.
The Lodge has an amazing fusion of first class 5 star accommodations in a private wildlife sanctuary. I’m not sure it gets any better than the personal game drives followed by good food, service, folk and rooms.
The accommodation, the hospitality and the game experience were impeccable. The staff were incredibly accommodating, warm and amiable. The food was the most incredibly healthy, tasty and divine food, I have ever experienced on my many trips. You couldn’t ask for a better 5 plus star experience.
While at the Solio Ranch the staff kindly told us about the new Lily Pond Arts Centre on the equator in Nanyuki.
The workers at Solio were adamant that we made a trip to the massive art studio, as it displays affordable contemporary art from East Africa’s top contemporary artists, away from the hustle of city life.
You can opt to either sponge up the atmosphere of this calm and special African arts place, or meet the “Artists in Residence”. The Art Studio houses art graduates from art colleges in Nairobi, Kenya who are on full time, long term placements at the arts centre, producing and showing new reasonable art works.
This new art gallery in Nanyuki, intends to operate as a springboard for young artists to launch their art careers, whilst permitting safari visitors to buy original pieces of art.
We also enjoyed a good lunch on a deck, overlooking a large lily pond.
With the great Mount Kenya Mountain as a backdrop, we also loved watching the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pond!
What we found fantastic is that the equator slices clean thru the middle of this Arts Centre. This indicates that you can view inspiring African art in both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere!
This new Arts Centre in Nanyuki, has just installed a new equator sculpture, the Wish World, which is installed exactly at 0000000. Everybody writes down their wishes and then hangs them onto the “Wish Globe”. Guess what I wished for?
The arts centre has a unique shop stocked with hand- made African gifts such as beaded sandals, recycled flip flop toys, African masks, Glass chimes, Kenyan metal geckos and lots more unusual African gift ideas. That was most of our vacation money gone!
Solio and the Lily Pond Arts Centre offer provoking modern African art, gifts and healthy lunches. Find out today, what the Solio Lodge offers in Nanyuki, the Mount Kenya region of Kenya.
