EXPLORE ONE OF KENYA'S MOST BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS
Mount Suswa is a spectacular double-crater volcano located at the very the heart of the Rift Valley. Since 2005,
the Mount Suswa Conservancy offers visitors a chance to explore the area, hiking along the beautiful crater and venturing inside its stunning network of lava caves.
The Conservancy is entirely run by the Masai community that lives inside Mt Suswa. This means that all camping fees go towards preserving, not just the park, but the lifestyle of those who live in it.
SO MUCH TO DO
"I've been to Suswa three times already and every time I find something new to do -- whether it's exploring the caves or hiking around the volcano. It's like a great, green, playground."
/ Laura - Spain
FAMILY FRIENDLY
"We visited Mount Suswa with our three children and had a great time! We explored the caves, saw many animals and roasted marshmallows over a camp fire. They loved it."
/ Kristen & Wawa - Kenya
TRULY WILD
"I've camped in many places around Kenya but nothing quite compares to Suswa. It's quite close to Nairobi but still feels truly untouched. I'm definitely coming back."
