How Long Should We Stay at Sosian?
We recommend a minimum of 4 days at Sosian in order to enjoy the area and all the different activities, to allow yourself time to relax and be on holiday rather than endless packing and unpacking and trying to cram in too much each day. Often our guests return for a second visit to Sosian, but always for much longer as there is so much to do so do try and allow yourself 4-5 days, especially if travelling with a family.
How do we book a safari?
If you would like us to recommend a tour operator in your country to assist you with putting your holiday together, please contact us. If you are travelling independently, Offbeat Safaris is our booking office and can plan a safari around Kenya for you including the Masai Mara, Meru National Park, or a dedicated horseback safari in the Masai Mara and at Deloraine House. Offbeat can also include a week at the coast, accommodation in Nairobi and all internal flights and transfers including someone to meet you at the international airport. The company has been operating for 25 years and is very well known both in Kenya and internationally.
