Shompole Wilderness Camp

Experience & Activities  

Shompole Wilderness is a small, tented camp located deep in the south of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Situated between Amboseli National Park and the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, guests have access to over 350,000 acres, in an area with very few other tourists.

The camp is family and owner run and can only be booked on an exclusive use basis. This ensures that your stay is personal, private, and entirely at your own pace! There is a pool and plenty of space to relax and enjoy your surroundings in camp, as well as a wide range of activities on offer to keep the whole group entertained.

Shompole offers the chance to experience nature both in and out of a safari vehicle. Activities include day and night game drives, bush walks and runs, tubing, kayaking, and fishing. It is also one of the few places in East Africa where you can walk with habituated baboons.

Community and conservation are a huge focus and interactions with the local Maasai are extremely genuine. You may find yourself helping them herd their cows or even trying your hand at milking! Scenic helicopter flights also come highly recommended … low-level, doors-off flying over the lakes is an experience you’ll never forget!

Accommodations

Exclusive Use – Six Luxury Tents: The camp comprises of six, raised tents – each with views of either the river, plains, or forest. Each tent is totally private and designed to keep you as cool as possible, whilst maintaining that feeling of truly being in the bush.

The accommodation is simple, stylish and comfortable, with large double beds, fans, and ensuite bathrooms, as well as a huge veranda from which to enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush.
