On the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Elmenteita lies a vast, extinct volcano. Seen from the distance, its time-eroded crater suggests the profile of a massive Maasai warrior, resting in peace until the end of time. On the slopes of the volcano, surrounded by 20,000 hectares of the private Soysambu Conservancy, nestles an exclusive tented camp, The Sleeping Warrior Camp.
Ecologically-conceived, the Sleeping Warrior Camp consists of four, widely-spaced, and traditionally-presented safari tents. Linked by winding lava-stone paths, each tent has a locally-thatched roof, a private bathroom, which is partially open to the wilderness, and its own private veranda.
Each tent is secluded within its own Leleshwa grove
