Shompole Wilderness

A secluded eco-camp on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River

Shompole Wilderness is an exclusive eco-camp nestled in the remote Shompole Conservancy in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Set along the lush banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River and framed by the dramatic Shompole Mountain, the camp offers a rare combination of privacy, wilderness, and cultural immersion.

With only a handful of spacious safari tents, Shompole Wilderness ensures an intimate and personalized experience. Each tent features comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas shaded by acacia trees, where guests can relax while listening to the sounds of the river and surrounding wildlife.

The camp is known for its unique off-the-beaten-track activities. Guests can enjoy guided game drives, birdwatching, and night drives, as well as scenic sundowners on the plains. Cultural visits to local Maasai homesteads provide authentic insights into traditional lifestyles. One of the most memorable experiences is tubing and swimming in the Ewaso Ng’iro River, a refreshing adventure in this wild setting.

Meals are freshly prepared and served outdoors, often by the riverbank or under the stars, adding to the camp’s rustic yet magical charm. With its eco-friendly design and focus on sustainability, Shompole Wilderness offers a deeply immersive stay that feels close to nature and far from the crowds.
