About the project

The JW Marriott Mount Kenya Rhino Reserve Safari Camp sits inside the private 45,000-acre Solio Game Reserve, a conservancy set between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range that is internationally recognized for its rhino breeding program. The all-inclusive camp holds 19 tented suites, each designed to blur the line between indoors and outdoors with private decks, plunge pools, indoor soaking tubs, and views of the surrounding savannah, mountains, and watering holes. A Spa by JW anchors the wellness offering alongside an outdoor pool and fitness center, while dining moves from the signature Mavuno restaurant to bush breakfasts and dinners beneath the stars. Guests explore the reserve on twice-daily game drives, guided walking safaris, and cycling safaris, with sightings of white and endangered black rhinos alongside leopards, cheetahs, and plains game, plus visits to the Solio Rhino Orphanage. The camp is operated under Marriott's JW Marriott brand and reached by air via the Nanyuki Airstrip.
