Suyan Camp - Loliondo ::
No boundaries for the wild. Enjoy the wildlife in Loliondo Area
In intimate (5 guest tents) safari camp with wide and breathtaking views of the spectacular surroundings. Tents have comfortable en-suite bathrooms with portable flush toilets and bucket showers. After activities, guests gather at the fire place, sundowner spots and the common dining and library tents. Fly camping is an excellent option to explore the stunning, wild Loliondo land into great depth or to simply to enjoy a night of private camping under the Serengeti skies. .
The Serengeti ecosystem is much larger than the Serengeti National Park land and includes the game controlled areas bordering the parks.
Loliondo is the spectacular, wild, Maasai inhabited area east of Serengeti National Park and north of Ngorongoro. Animals roam around freely in this land due to the absence of fences between parks and bordering areas and the area is known for its spectacular natural beauty.
Suyan Camp operates in these areas through partnership agreements with the villages of Piaya (southern Loliondo from December 16 to March 31) and Soit Sambu (north Loliondo from June 1 to December 15).
Piaya:
Piaya is located in southern Loliondo, directly north of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and east of the Serengeti with easy access to Ngorongoro (access to Serengeti NP via Ngorongoro). The large concession area offers stunning landscapes with the Gol Mountains and the deep Sanjan Gorge, unspoilt Maasai culture, ancient rock paintings and excellent possibilities for walking. Parts of Piaya have good resident game and the Migration moves into the area when it rains. Lucky guests can encounter the rare wild dog ("Suyan" means "wild dog" in Maasai).
Soit Sambu:
Soit Sambu is a large concession located in the northern Loliondo area. Located some 30 minutes outside Klein's Gate, Suyan Camp in Soit Sambu has excellent access to the Serengeti. The view from the camp, overlooking the Serengeti is breathtaking. Soit Sambu's scenery is truly spectacular, with green hills, olive tree forests and small Maasai settlements. The area has good resident game and offers great opportunities for walking safaris, game driving and it offers the opportunity to learn about the intriguing Maasai culture.
Advantages of staying at Suyan Camp:

Wildlife is usually spotted on walking safaris and guests can learn about nature, animal tracks, wildlife behavior and Maasai culture. Walking can best be done in the morning and a typical walk can range from 30 minutes to 4 hours.
