A Wild and Remote Safari Escape in Laikipia
Laikipia Plateau, Kenya
Set within 17,806 hectares of protected wilderness in Kenya’s Suyian Conservancy, andBeyond Suyian is one of the most exciting luxury safari lodges in Laikipia. Remote, adventurous, and deeply connected to the landscape, the lodge offers a safari experience that feels wonderfully untamed while still delivering the refinement and hospitality that andBeyond is known for.
“This is a lodge that you’ll never want to leave,” Kyle said shortly after arriving during his recent Kenya safari. For both Kyle and Leah, what stood out most was how effortlessly the lodge balances adventure with comfort, with beautiful spaces throughout the property designed for guests to slow down and fully appreciate the landscape.
The suites feel expansive and private, designed using natural materials and earthy textures that blend beautifully into the surrounding environment. Large outdoor decks, plunge pools, open living spaces, and panoramic views create a strong connection to the wilderness, while thoughtful interiors keep the lodge feeling warm and inviting rather than overly formal.
Wildlife viewing at Suyian is varied and rewarding, with the conservancy protecting species such as African elephant, African wild dog, black leopard, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and gerenuk. Beyond traditional game drives, the lodge offers one of the most activity-rich safari experiences in Kenya, including horseback safaris, camel treks, guided walks, helicopter excursions, and cultural visits.
We would strongly recommend spending at least three nights here, although four nights is the ideal way to fully experience the lodge, the diversity of activities, and the wider Suyian Conservancy.

Why We Love andBeyond Suyian
What stands out most to us is the balance between wilderness and comfort. You can spend the morning horseback riding through the conservancy or tracking wildlife on foot, before returning to beautifully designed suites and quiet spaces that encourage you to completely slow down. Leah especially loved how many places around the lodge invited you to simply pause and take in the landscape.
Suyian is also one of the few lodges in Kenya where the activities feel just as important as the game drives themselves. Combined with strong conservation work protecting wildlife corridors across Laikipia, the experience feels adventurous, meaningful, and genuinely difficult to leave.
Insider’s Tip: Leave enough time in your itinerary to enjoy the lodge between activities. From private decks and plunge pools to spa treatments and fireside evenings, Suyian rewards travellers who embrace a slower pace alongside the adventure.
