UHF System
Suswa Conservancy was established 3 years ago and is manned by 4 community game scouts, who underwent a 3 months training at KWS Manyani Field Training School. The area is facing wildlife poaching for bush meat, environmental destruction through charcoal burning, prevalence of human/wildlife conflicts challenges among others. The scouts carry out anti poaching patrols, monitoring and protection of endangered wildlife and mitigate human/wildlife conflicts in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service, Forest Dept, Local administration, African Conservation Centre and any other conservation agency. Suswa is also visited by resident and international visitors who visit the caves and the calderas and do camping in the area.
Soralo has facilitated the installation of a Radio communication system and equipment at Mt. Suswa Conservancy on the 18th of June 2010 at Lkerengeti Base. The VHF Radio network will enhance tourist and wildlife security in the general Mt. Suswa conservancy. The radio network is also linked to kws stations in the area, Nairagie Nkare station which links to their other stations. This communication is intended to link Suswa conservancy with the already established conservancies like Shompole and Olkiramatian.
Eco-Toilets
The new Eco toilets built at the Suswa caldera view point site. Clients will now access sanitary facilities (bathrooms and toilets) that are in good condition. The Suswa caldera view point is scenic for both the outer and inner crater. The latter is a pristine forest composed of cedar trees and other indigenous species.
