Nestled between the Ewaso Narok River and the slopes of Mount Kenya, Suyian Conservancy spans 17,806 hectares (44,000 acres) of prime wilderness in northwest Laikipia. Named after the African wild dog in the local Maa language, the conservancy forms part of a crucial wildlife corridor and connects to a wider mosaic of over 80,937 hectares (200,000 acres) of privately managed land. Once operating as a cattle ranch, the area has been transformed into a living conservation model, combining regenerative land management with meaningful community partnerships. The conservancy is home to more than 100 mammal species, including rare and elusive wildlife such as the black (melanistic) leopard and endangered African wild dog, alongside northern Kenya icons like Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, and reticulated giraffe.
Featuring sweeping grasslands, rocky kopjes, dense Vachellia woodland, and over 16 km (10 miles) of river frontage, Suyian Conservancy offers intimate encounters with nature and raw, untamed beauty, where every safari experience contributes to a greater purpose of conservation and wildlife protection.
