UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM · CULTURE & COMMUNITY · PHOTOGRAPHIC HIDE
Shompole Wilderness is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River, on Shompole Community Land in Southern Kenya. In this unique ecosystem, where rolling hills meet vast plains and the dramatic Loita Hills stand as silent sentinels, is a wilderness famed for being the ‘cradle of mankind’ and holds the highest diversity of birds and mammals of any region in Africa.
This intimate family operated camp is far from ordinary! With only six tents and miles and miles of stunning land to explore, your stay here will feel both homely and wild at the same time.

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.
