Solio Lodge offers a range of informative excursions to several nearby farms that use innovative sustainable practices. Tour a working coffee plantation to learn how your morning coffee is grown, harvested, and processed; visit a family-run flower farm specializing in the most delightfully scented garden roses.

During your game drives, spot a diversity of animals from lions, leopards, and cheetahs to zebra, giraffes, and a whole range of antelope species, to name but a few. Or go on a walking, cycling, or horseback safari.
