Suyian Soul Camp Nanyuki Kenya is a simple earthy camp set in a scenic paradise next to a natural spring and salt lick on Suyian Ranch. The camp has a small human footprint with a view of minimizing environmental degradation. Suyian soul is nestled in the North East corner of Suyian Ranch which covers 43,000 acres of spectacularly beautiful scenery in northwest Laikipia. The property encompasses a series of dramatic escarpments, exclusive valleys and expansive grassland plains.
Within Suyian and stretching out into the wider ecosystem there occurs significant populations of elephant, reticulated giraffe, ostrich, hippo, Burchell's zebra, Grevy's zebra, buffalo, lion, leopard, African wild dog and occasionally cheetah, among many other species. The property is also home to rare and interesting species of plants. Anne's family the Powys's have operated a family livestock business on Suyian for nearly 100 years.www.crocodileracers.com
