About the Resort
The only lodge on a 44,000-acre Laikipia conservancy
andBeyond Suyian Lodge opened in July 2025 as the only lodge on a 44,000-acre private conservancy in Laikipia, northern Kenya — and was named in TIME's World's Greatest Places 2026 within months. The single-lodge rights are the heart of it: game drives go off-road and after dark with no other vehicle in sight, across an unfenced former cattle ranch turned wildlife corridor on the eastern Rift Valley escarpment, with more than ten miles of Ewaso Narok River frontage and Mount Kenya on the horizon. This is among the best country in Africa for tracking the rare black leopard and the African wild dog, and the safari extends beyond the vehicle — on horseback, by camel, by helicopter, and walking with Samburu herders on a working-ranch conservation initiative. The fourteen suites, in grass-topped Afro-Wabi-Sabi design, each have a private plunge pool, outdoor shower and terrace; there is a hillside spa and an infinity pool. It is all-inclusive in the andBeyond way, reached by light aircraft from Nairobi — an off-the-beaten-path lodge for conservation-minded and repeat-safari travellers.

Kenya
Mahali Mzuri
Mahali Mzuri is Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Limited Edition camp, set on a hillside in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara. As one of only a handful of camps across the conservancy, it offers off-road and night game drives with barely another vehicle in sight — and big-cat country where lion-pride territories converge. Twelve design-led tented suites stand raised on private decks, with freestanding tubs and the rare luxury of in-tent air-conditioning. An infinity pool overlooks the plains, the Nasaro Spa tent handles the downtime, and the camp sits squarely on the Great Migration path.
Kenya
Angama Mara
Angama Mara — Swahili for 'suspended in air' — stands on the rim of the Siria Escarpment, a thousand feet above the Mara Triangle, the quieter and better-managed western sector of the Maasai Mara. Thirty glass-fronted tented suites, split between two intimate 15-suite camps, each carry a 10-metre wall of glass onto the plains, a private deck and Maasai-red accents. A rim-flow pool shares the view, a garden-to-table shamba supplies the kitchen, and guests picnic on the very kopje made famous by Out of Africa — watching dawn balloons drift past the glass.
Kenya
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club
The Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is a grand 100-acre country estate on the slopes of Mount Kenya — a 1959 club once frequented by Hollywood and royalty, with the Equator line running right through the grounds. Around 120 rooms, suites, cottages and villas spread across manicured gardens, many with fireplaces and mountain views, from the original manor's Equator-split Equatorial Suite to family villas with nanny rooms. An adjoining wildlife conservancy and animal orphanage sit on the doorstep, alongside Jack Nicklaus-designed golf, horseback Slopes Breakfasts and a colonial-glamour 'dress for dinner' tradition — a very different experience from a bush camp.
