Rhino Photography Tour - Solio, Kenya

Expert-led rhino photography tour to Solio

Solio Ranch is one of Africa’s most exclusive rhino photography safari destinations, renowned for its thriving population of over 400 black and white rhinos. Located in central Kenya, this private conservancy offers unmatched access for ground-level wildlife photography, making it a dream for photographers who want to capture intimate and powerful compositions of these prehistoric giants.

With flat open plains, limited vehicle access, and a carefully managed ecosystem, Solio allows you to get close — without the crowds. Whether it’s a rhino silhouetted against a moody sky, dust rising at sunrise, or a mother and calf sharing a moment, every frame becomes a unique conservation story through your lens.

While rhinos take center stage, Solio is also home to lions, buffaloes, zebras, and giraffes — offering a diverse canvas to refine your craft in one of Kenya’s best-kept photographic secrets.
