Suyian Lodge
Blending seamlessly into the rock formations which surround it, Suyian Lodge is a safari lodge like no other, situated in the private Suyian Conservancy, Laikipia in Kenya.
Suyian Lodge enjoys an unparalleled location anchored by the Rock Sanctuary, a dramatic formation of ancient granite boulders. Positioned on the edge of the escarpment, the lodge overlooks sweeping plains dotted with granite kopjes, with views stretching to the Ewaso Narok River and distant Mount Kenya. Sheltered and serene, the lodge offers breathtaking sunrises and a deep connection to its remarkable landscape.
Inspired by the surrounding rock formations and resilient plant life, the lodge’s curved design blends seamlessly into the environment. Its organic form mirrors the undulating ridges beyond, while interiors reflect an Afro Wabi Sabi aesthetic that celebrates natural textures, impermanence and understated luxury. Subtle cultural elements inspired by local semi nomadic communities and tones referencing iconic wildlife complete the sense of place.
Guests can tailor each day with immersive experiences including twice daily game drives, guided nature walks, horseback safaris, camel walks and working ranch tours. Cultural village visits, outdoor yoga, scenic helicopter flights and wellness treatments further enrich the experience within this conservation haven.
Family friendly in design, the lodge offers a two bedroom Family Suite with a shared lounge and private plunge pool, as well as a Triple Suite. Communal dining spaces and flexible safari activities ensure meaningful experiences for guests of all ages to enjoy together.
