Sosian

Location

Sosian is situated in the central area of the Laikipia Plateau on a private ranch. The drive from Loisaba airstrip is roughly an hours drive but what a beautiful drive it is, as the landscape changes from rocky hilltops, vast and extensive open plains, to a dense forest-like environment. With access to a huge area of land, Sosian has great game viewing options, including tracking the African wild dogs.

Sosian is a restored ranch house built in the 1940’s that now homes the communal area for guests. The lounge and dining are have a beautiful African feel, with art and decor keeping the history of the ranch visible. Everything has a story behind it, especially the striking elephant tusks either side of the large log fire! The lodge sleeps 14 with a few extra beds available in the family cottage. At the end of the garden lies a stunning pool, a pool table, an al fresco dining area and a well-kept tennis court.

Rooms

The six en-suite double/ twin rooms are arranged in three units, each with a shared wide verandah looking out to the garden. Additionally, the family cottage which has an interconnecting room to sleep another three children if needed. The rooms are simply furnished, with a traditional decor which is fitting with the ranch house.
