SHOMPOLE
Shompole Wilderness Camp is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River, on Shompole Community Land in Southern Kenya. The du Toit family and their local Maasai team manage the camp together. With just six tents and miles and miles of stunning land to explore, your stay here will feel both homely and wild at the same time. The Shompole region alone is home to 21 carnivores species, all the large mammal species with the exception of Rhino and, at our last count, 435 species of birds.
Plan your stay
We are located in an area that is known as the South Rift of Kenya in the Great Rift Valley (the largest valley in the world). The Rift Valley region of East Africa is not only famed for being the ‘cradle of mankind’ but it also holds the highest diversity of birds and mammals of any region in Africa. Shompole is nestled between the famed Maasai Mara National Reserve to the northwest, Amboseli National Park to the southeast,and the Kenya-Tanzania border just to the south of us. Shompole Wilderness is located on the community lands of the Shompole Maasai people.
