What a terrific place. While the game viewing isn't as good as the other camps we visited in the Mara, Amboseli, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy, our game drives were interessting nonetheless, with a great guide. And the food was fantastic, the service terrific, and the room utterly gorgeous! Our waiter, Evans, even wrote out for us a recipe for a... more

Shompole is absolutely amazing. We loved every minute of our stay here as part of our honeymoon. We were lucky enough to get upgraded to the family suite which just took our breath away... Lying by our own pool with the most amazing view of the African savannah was simply mind blowing. The service was first class and the food... more

This was my second trip to Shampole. We travel to Africa once a year and try to go to different places but I had to add this again to the itinerary. It is really one of those places that look exactly like the pictures. I remember how it took my breath away the first time I visited last year and... more

It is difficult to express in words quite how wonderful Shompole is. Having seen the stunning photos on the website we went with high expectations but a couple of negative reviews on this site meant we had a few concerns too. We need not have worried. The "rooms" are incredible, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the... more

We arrived back home last night from our 3 night stay in Shompole Lodge and I had to write my review ASAP as we had such a wonderful experience. Shompole Lodge is breathtaking its design cannot be faulted, the suites are huge and very private each with a view that you will never forget, the beautiful Massi who work at... more

I agree with other reviews - the place is quite stunning but un- fortunately the management is extremely poor making this expensive lodge bad value for money! We arrived for our 3 days to a warm welcome and were questioned about our food preferences. We explained my husband doesn't eat red meat and we don't eat shellfish or pork. The... more

I suppose that old adage "different strokes for different folks" comes to mind when reading other people's reviews of this hotel. I truly cannot believe that anyone can have a bad experience here! We arrived to cool wet cloths and welcome drinks. Bags were sent to our room without us having to lug anything ourselves... the setting is BREATHTAKING!! Our... more

The setting and overall design of Shompole is amazing however in our 3 day stay at the resort we were quite taken aback about how poorly managed the place is. It's sold as being luxury - and certainly the rooms are quite magnificent but the service just doesn't match. Joanna and Patrick, the managers are nice people but seem to... more

I absolutely agree with all other reviews about the setting, architecture and views. The 'rooms' and communal areas are superbly designed and when we first arrived we were 'stunned'. We also really enjoyed the food and the staff were all very attentive and eager to please. However, there were many things that let it down and overall the managers (Ava,... more
