The original ranch house was built in the 1940’s by Italian artisans. Since then, it has been beautifully restored and can house up to fourteen people. Accommodations at the lodge consist of four cottages set within a lush, tropical garden. Three of the cottages include two separate bedrooms each. For those traveling with children, a family cottage has interconnecting rooms and bathroom. All rooms are en suite and include a private veranda. For honeymooners, the Italian Cottage which was built by a post-war Italian artist, provides a large and private space for two.

Sosian Lodge is part of a private conservancy and working cattle ranch. It sits on the equator at 5700 feet high. Moreover, it is part of the beautiful Laikipia Plateau that stretches from the Great Rift Valley to Mt. Kenya. An area of abundant wildlife, it is home to buffaloes, lions, leopards, hippos, giraffes, as well as the more rare Grevy’s zebra, wild dogs, and Jackson’s hartebeest. A bird watcher’s paradise, there are more than 250 species of birds hereabouts. The diverse landscape varies between grass plains and thicker acacia woodlands, a favorite spot of the elephant herds, Laikipia ranks second highest in elephant populations in Kenya. As a successful cattle ranch, it thrives alongside conservation efforts and the neighboring wildlife. The ranch breeds Boran cattle and a small dairy herd to provide for the lodge.
