What you need to know:
The Maa community called it Mt Oldonyo Nyoike, which means the mountain of red and yellow ochre — the mud paste which the Maasai morans use to decorate their bodies.
Sirikwa, an extinct sub-tribe of the Kalenjin, once settled in the area after following their southeastern migratory route from Rongai in Nakuru county.
The town was used as a political launching ground by former veteran Maasai politician William ole Ntimama during his hey days.
Suswa Town is often associated with fatal road accidents which over the years have claimed many lives, livestock and even wild animals.
But this does not deny the small, dusty and scenic town on Mai Mahiu-Narok Road with a population of about 4,000 people its attraction.
