Sheltering in the lee of the vast volcano known to some as ‘Delamere’s Nose’, and to others as ‘The Sleeping Warrior, lies a stretch of virgin Africa unchanged since the dawn of time. A lilting volcanic landscape that laps the shores of Lake Elementaita, this 48,000-acre private estate has remained as pristine as when it was first founded in 1906, by one of Kenya’s most colorful pioneers, the charismatic Lord Delamere, whose descendants still farm the land. At its heart, lies the 20,000-acre Soysambu Conservancy, which only opened to the public in 2008, thus allowing access to one of the last great Kenyan safari frontiers.
The plains, the acacia and euphorbia forests are home to many species of mammals including the endangered Rothschild giraffe and a wide variety of antelopes. Lake Elementaita itself makes a superb safari game drive venue and is also famous for its flamingo and great white pelican. Its shoreline is also grazed by zebra, gazelle, eland, buffalo and families of warthog.
At the Sleeping Warrior Lodge, they are committed to supporting and sustaining the wilderness and wildlife that provides both personal inspiration and commercial livelihood. The conservancy is also committed to ensuring that the surrounding community receives their proper share of the profits made. To this end the lodge support a number of local schools and have undertaken to finance the passage of a number of local children through school.

With a spectacular position overlooking the Chobe river floodplain, Chobe Elephant Camp takes full advantage of the land offering a fantastic feeling of wide open space from your very first step through the doors. Providing a simultaneously rustic and stylish feel, Chobe Elephant Camp was designed to minimize at best its carbon footprint, providing a genuinely eco-friendly gateway to the surrounding natural wonders.
The lodge boasts a large open-plan main area featuring a cozy arrangement of couches along with a bar, dining area and reading corner and opens up onto an inviting boma area.
Northern Botswana is home to the largest population of elephants in Africa, and the life giving waters and rich grazing on the flood plains of the Chobe River attract some of the largest concentrations of these magnificent giants of the bush.
Besides the elephants, the Chobe River and surrounding woodlands supports an incredible diversity of animals and has developed a reputation of being one of the great wildlife destinations in Africa. From large herds of elephants swimming in the Chobe river, zebra and buffalo grazing on the floodplains, giraffes feeding on the acacias trees and shy roan and sable antelope ghosting through the teak forests, there is always something of interest. Combine the above with some of the highest predator densities in Botswana (Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog and Hyaena) and it is clear why this is such a wildlife mecca.
