We’re thrilled to announce that Mount Suswa will soon be home to a new camp operated by Kambu Campers, in partnership with the local Maasai community.
Nestled within the awe-inspiring outer caldera of Mt. Suswa, this upcoming camp will sit on a 5-acre site, just a 20-minute walk from the main community campground—right where most hikes into the crater begin. The location offers easy access to lava caves, the ring trench, and panoramic rim trails, while also maintaining a sense of remoteness, peace, and raw natural beauty.
This initiative is more than just accommodation—it’s a community-powered experience. By collaborating directly with local landowners and guides, Kambu Campers is supporting sustainable tourism, conservation, and local livelihoods in one of Kenya’s most geologically unique destinations.
Kambu Campers initially approached a few landowners with land near the Conservancy-run campsite. The initial discussion to incorporate the accommodation within Mt. Suswa Conservancy’s current revenue-share structure fell through, and Kambu Campers resorted to purchasing land to operate the camp.
Kambu Campers was chosen for its success in establishing another camp adjacent to two conservancies in the Masai Mara. We felt the community would benefit in several ways from having a reputable tour company operate an accommodation facility next to the conservancy.
Stay tuned for updates on the launch of Suswa Camp, and get ready to experience Mt. Suswa with us—where lava caves, steam vents, and big skies meet comfort, culture, and conservation.
