The Art of Ventures Group:
Shompole Lodge, Lake Natron is the first lodge built by The Art of Ventures.
Little Shompole is an exclusive 2-bedroomed lodge next to Shompole Lodge.
Naibor Camp and little Naibor are located in the heart of the Masai Mara Reserve.

Shompole is a luxury lodge with 6 spacious villas located on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, with spectacular views.
The lodge itself is of a stunning and unique design, which artfully combines the textures & materials harvested from the local group ranch, with the relaxing properties of flowing water and cool pools in each room. The rooms are designed with a unique combination of undulating white walls and the multiple textures of natural quartz rock, bullrush thatch and smooth figwood.
The camp owes its existence to the Maasai people of Shompole Group Ranch who are our partners in the project and who lend their enthusiasm and culture to this new form of eco-tourism.
Although the camp itself makes a wonderfully relaxing variation in the normally hectic safari itinerary, providing guests with an opportunity to relax; the area around offers a range of activities including walking, canoeing, mountain biking, day & night game drives, bush dinners and breakfasts; mornings out at the flamingo inhabited Lake Natron and bird-watching. Wild-life seen in the area includes lion, leopard, aardwolf, striped hyena, eland, giraffe, bat-eared fox and many more.

Little Shompole is an exclusive unit of two luxury villas, located above the main lodge. Each room has its own sitting area, a spacious bathroom with a view, and a large private cool-pool. The palatial 9’x9’ bed is nestled under a high-canopied canvas and white netting tent and takes in the sweeping views of the Great Rift Valley. The rooms are made out of the same materials as main Shompole. Guests of Little Shompole can enjoy the privacy of their own mess area, complete with a horizon pool overlooking Lake Natron and the mountains of Northern Tanzania. In addition, Little Shompole also offers butler service in your own spacious room and the dedicated use of Little Shompole’s custom-built game-drive vehicle.

Naibor Camp is in Southern Kenya in the heart of the Masai Mara Reserve and twenty minutes drive from the nearest wildebeest river crossing. 250km from Nairobi, 80km from Narok. It consists of 7 large but classic safari tents, 5 doubles and 2 twins, plus all have a 10 ft open verandah. All tents are made from pale khaki canvas and insect-proof white mesh. The en suite bathrooms have flush toilets and large, traditional, hot water safari bucket showers. The tents can be completely opened up so that they remain light, cool and breezy in the day for maximum comfort. Each tent has its own private verandah with day bed and private dining table. Activities include day & night game drives guided by professionals, bush walks and unforgettable sundowners.
LITTLE NAIBOR
Located within the immediate vicinity of Naibor Camp, Little Naibor is made up of two spacious suites which are uniquely designed to blend in effortlessly with the surrounding riverine forest. Each tent contains 2 double or twin rooms both en-suite with their own spacious bathrooms, inter-joined by a communal lounge and dining area. A dedicated team of staff caters to your every need. Both of these stunning tents have their own private bar and fire places set up strategically along the Talek River with complete privacy and spectacular views. Little Naibor can be booked and used as an exclusive private arrangement, or used in conjunction with the main Naibor Camp and its facilities.
