Perfect for

Pure escapism. Shompole is remote, luxurious and tranquil. Unlike other lodges in Kenya, you won’t come across anyone else as the lodge is located in a private conservancy.

Where

High on the Nguruman escarpment overlooking the vast plains and volcanic hills of the Great Rift Valley, close to Lake Natron and the Tanzanian border.

Rooms at Shompole

Shompole Lodge has six spacious rooms overlooking the Great Rift Valley.  Each spacious and breezy room has a Zen-like feel as water flows through, collecting in private plunge pools.  For the ultimate privacy and pampering, stay at Little Shompole, perched high above the main lodge with breathtaking views of Lake Natron.  There are two vast suites, an infinity pool and a private butler and chef.

Food and facilities

Sample exquisite European cuisine with a Swahili twist.  Enjoy a private candlelit supper by the pool, under the stars and take in the sounds of the African bush around you.  Indulge in a massage on your private deck and listen to the waterfall cascading below.  The infinity pool overlooking Shompole Mountain is sensational.

Activities at Shompole

Walk with the Maasai guides to nearby Lake Natron, one of the least visited places in Kenya, with the largest flamingo breeding ground in East Africa.  Enjoy game drives in the private conservancy and enjoy a bush picnic.  You can take a mountain bike, go for a ride or canoe along the river and explore the wilderness.

In the know

Shompole is a hidden gem in one of the least visited regions in Kenya. You won’t meet anyone else apart from animals and Maasai tending to their herds. Shompole will give guests a taste of the real Africa, rarely experienced elsewhere.
