Light aircraft from Nairobi Wilson (~1 hr flight) to Suyian private airstrip or to Loisaba (~1 hr flight), then ~15–30 min by road from Suyian airstrip or ~60–90 min from Loisaba airstrip to the lodge, private charters welcome.
Suites oriented to sunrise over the Ewaso Narok valley feel most cinematic, while those tucked nearer the Rock Sanctuary offer dramatic granite foregrounds and calmer breezes, the Family Suite adds a second bedroom and rim-flow pool and is the go-to for families wanting space without losing those big-sky views.
A relaxed, farm-to-table rhythm led from the home-style chef’s kitchen and courtyard firepit, menus change daily with highland produce and herbs from the lodge garden, think chapati hot off the pan, Swahili-style coconut curry nights, and Laikipia beef on the coals, with private terrace dinners and boulder-boma set-ups when the wind drops.
Warm layer for cool Laikipia nights, breathable long sleeves for sun and dust on open plateaus, closed shoes for rocky paths, a headlamp for starlit walks to dinner, swimwear for your plunge pool.
Pre-book a golden-hour camel walk from the escarpment, ask to join the chef in the kitchen garden before dinner for a harvest-to-plate tasting, and schedule one night drive for a chance at aardwolf or that headline black leopard.
Suyian is a conservation-ranching landscape where wildlife corridors, Grevy’s zebra and wild dog recovery sit alongside low-impact tourism and carefully managed cattle, with &Beyond operating under a long-term lease that funds protection and habitat restoration.
