Day 1. Nairobi to Mount Suswa Conservancy
We will pick you up in Nairobi at around 9am this morning and make the scenic drive through the Rift Valley for a few hours to our campsite in Suswa Conservancy. Mount Suswa is a stunning double crater shield volcano and the conservation area is managed entirely by the local Masai community. This is a beautiful and unique but rarely visited area of Kenya due to it’s poor access roads and lack of infrastructure. This afternoon you will have a chance to visit the villages of the local Masai who run the conservation area and see the unique ways in which they have learnt to survive and harvest water in such an undeveloped area. This evening you can enjoy a drink at camp as the sun goes down before dinner. L,D
Day 2. Mount Suswa Conservancy
Today it’s time to hike! After an early breakfast, before the sun gets too hot, you have the opportunity to hike up to the highest peak of Mount Suswa with a summit height of 2356m. The hike up to the summit and back to the campsite is around 14km and takes approximately 4 hours. For those who would like a bigger challenge it is also possible to hike the whole way around the crater rim today which is around 22kms and will take most of the day. You will be rewarded with some stunning views and will get plenty of interesting information from your local Masai guides who have grown up in the area. This afternoon we will do a BBQ at camp where we will roast meat on sticks in the traditional Masai way for dinner. B,L,D
Day 3. Mount Suswa to Nairobi
This morning you will have the opportunity to explore the underground lava cave networks, home to bats, baboons and sometimes patrolled at night by Leopards at night! After lunch we will head back to Nairobi where we will arrive in the afternoon. B,L
