Game Drives

Guided Walking Safaris
One of Shompole’s most exciting activities, walking safaris are permitted within the conservancy. Accompanied by expert guides and Maasai trackers, you’ll learn how to identify animal tracks, observe plants, and understand the interconnectedness of this ecosystem—all while enjoying the thrill of being on foot in the wild. -
Cultural Encounters with the Maasai
Visitors are welcomed into Maasai homesteads, where they can learn about traditional pastoral life, beadwork, music, and dance. These cultural exchanges highlight how the community balances heritage with conservation, making the experience both educational and inspiring. -
Birdwatching
The conservancy is a haven for bird enthusiasts. From large raptors circling the skies to ostriches striding across the plains and smaller savannah birds, the diversity is remarkable, especially during the green season. -
Photography Safaris
Whether you’re capturing wildlife action, vast landscapes dotted with acacia trees, or colorful Maasai traditions, Shompole is a dream location for photographers looking for natural beauty without tourist crowds.
