About the camp

About JW Marriott Mount Kenya Safari Camp.

This camp opened in 2026 in Solio, a 45,000-acre private reserve in Laikipia known for its work with rhinos. Suites look out to Mount Kenya, the Aberdares, waterholes or open savannah.

Game drives run at sunrise and in the late afternoon, with night drives, walks, cycling and visits to the Solio rhino orphanage. Resident photographers can join guests in the field.

When to go

The camp through the year.

July to March

The high season in KWS guidance for Kenya's parks, when shorter grass can make wildlife easier to see. Sightings are never guaranteed.

April to June

The long rains. KWS says most park roads may need four-wheel drive at this time.

All year

KWS describes Kenya's central highlands as cool and the north as hot and dry, so pack for warm days and cool evenings.
