SHOMPOLE LUXURY
LODGE
DESCRIPTION: On the edge of the Great Rift
Valley, it overlooks sun-baked plains and

The camp is constructed to emphasize the beauty
of natural materials as combined with flowing
water and smooth white walls. It is truly an
unusual and exquisite place; a creation of
imagination.
