Shompole's 6 rooms (4 doubles and 2 twins) all are en-suite, are constructed with naturally occurring white quartz stone and pale thatch. With privacy, comfort and relaxation in mind, each room consists of a cool-pool and informal sitting area, a bathroom with a view and a specially designed tent bedroom that includes vast windows and a high-canopied roof. The main lounge and dining area are of a high thatch roof overlooking Mount Shompole and the Great Rift Valley. Five minutes walk away further up the hill, Little Shompole has 2 executive suites, both en-suite. Shompole Lodge is the figurehead of a partnership between a private safari company and the Maasai of Shompole Group Ranch aimed at encouraging the conservation of wildlife and habitat of the area. The area is home to many species of animals and bird life and includes one of the most ecologically diverse areas in Africa. The variety of landscape available at Shompole allows for a great range of activities from early morning and evening walks, river trips, picnics, sundowner visits to Lake Natron to see the flamingos, night drives (and nights spent out in romantic fly-camps). The skills of the Maasai guides and trackers play an important part in the experience. Activities are unscheduled and organised according to the preferences of the guests. Guests will also have ample time to relax and enjoy the facilities of the lodge itself. |
