A UNIQUE AND QUALITY KENYAN SAFARI EXPERIENCE
Comprising an eight-bedroom safari lodge and working cattle ranch, Sosian promises a unique and quality Kenyan safari at the heart of Laikipia.
Encompassing a sitting room, dining area, bar and billiards room, the original ranch house is now the focal point of the homely Sosian Lodge. An expansive wraparound veranda commands gorgeous views across the beautiful landscape, with the Ewaso Narok River running through the southern section of the ranch. The eight cottages are scattered throughout the gardens, and offer plenty of privacy and comfort. Each has a veranda furnished with cedar-wood lounge chairs, where tea or coffee is laid out each morning.
As well as its own livestock, Sosian supports a wide diversity of wildlife and birds including lion, giraffe, zebra and elephant. In addition to riding safaris on well-schooled horses, you can explore on day and night game drives, bush walks, camel rides and fly camping excursions. Fishing, kayaking and river swimming are also on the menu, as well as cultural visits to neighbouring villages. Sosian’s heated pool is a popular retreat between activities, with lunch and evening BBQs often laid out under the shade of the large pool house.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
