Silole Sanctuary
A rich landscape of rolling plains
Silole Sanctuary forms one of those less-visited havens but is only an hour’s drive from Nairobi, hence offering a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lying between deep gorges of the Embakasi and Kiserian rivers, this private sanctuary covers 400 acres of rolling plains, hence making it an ideal retreat for those who do not want to go too far. From the rich variety of habitats to outstanding riverine forests, sprawling grassland plains, and dense valley thickets, all these constitute the sanctuary’s varied landscape and contribute immensely to its biodiversity.
With over 60 species of mammals calling it home, Silole Sanctuary offers an unusual opportunity to see the animals in their natural environment undisturbed. It ranges from graceful antelopes and stately giraffes to many species of birds, while the flora ranges according to the ecosystem.
Additionally, the Sanctuary caters to the taste of all kinds of holidaymakers – from the true animal enthusiast, and nature lover to those who just want to go on a quiet retreat, experiencing the touch of tranquility and adventure. It is situated in a quiet environment, full of life and different landscapes that make it exceptional in beauty explorations of Kenya’s natural heritage, yet not far from the city.
