Suswa is a small town along the main road from Nairobi to Narok town and at the foot of Mount Suswa in Narok County. Suswa is also a ward in Narok East sub-county. The Suswa sub-station is located just outside town and electricity that is generated at Lake Turkana Wind Power Station is transmitted here through the 428 km Loiyangalani–Suswa High Voltage Power Line.[1]

The town is a tourism hotspot due to its proximity to the Mount Suswa Conservancy[2] and the lava caves[3] on Mount Suswa.
