More than 350 species have been recorded at Laikipia Plateau – it’s a great birding destination with many north Kenya specials. There has been little research done on bird species and populations in the area, so there might be more species present. Solio Ranch isn’t really set up as a birding destination, but private game drives and guided walks can be arranged.

Best Time for Bird Watching
The Laikipia Plateau and Solio Ranch offer good bird watching throughout the year. The best time for birders is from November to April when the migrants from Europe and North Africa can be seen. This partly coincides with the Wet season (October to May) when many species in breeding plumage are nesting. Solio Lodge is closed in November.
