The Soysambu Conservancy

The Soysambu Conservancy is part of the lands of Lord Delamere, one of Kenya's most prominent colonial figures. Formerly a cattle ranch, which includes the western shores of Lake Elmenteita, one of Kenya's most beautiful soda lakes, the land has never been open to the public.

Even today, access is strictly limited to the guests of the conservancy. Utterly pristine and hauntingly beautiful, Soysambu is one of only a handful of private conservancies in Kenya.

The Sleeping Warrior Camp Sustainable eco-tourism
The Sleeping Warrior Camp is committed to sustainable eco-tourism and shares certain wildlife and water management responsibilities with Soysambu Conservancy, a non-profit organization established to protect this 20,000 hectare-area. Guests are required to pay a Conservancy fee per 24-hour stay which goes directly to maintaining the environment and supporting local communities.

The Sleeping Warrior Camp also employs local Masai women to gather Leleshwa (wild sage) wood for water-heating purposes. Additionally, the camp is sponsoring five local children through school.
