Shompole Conservancy, Protected wildlife area in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya.

The conservancy extends across 35,000 acres between Lake Magadi and Lake Natron, featuring diverse ecosystems with acacia woodlands and grasslands.

The Loodokilani Maasai community established the conservancy on their group ranch land, which was registered in 1979 to protect wildlife resources.

Local Maasai communities maintain their traditional practices while actively participating in conservation management and leading educational tours for visitors.

The region experiences elevated temperatures during October and November, while April and May bring increased rainfall to the conservation area.

The Ewaso Ngiro River flows through the conservancy, creating riverine thickets that support populations of giraffes, buffalos, and desert antelopes.
