Visit Lentorre Lodge
Tucked away in the remote Olkirimatian Conservancy of Kenya’s South Rift Valley, bordering the Shompole conservation area, Lentorre Lodge offers a rare blend of seclusion, wildlife and cultural depth. Fed by clear natural springs flowing from the South Loita and Nguruman escarpments, the lodge sits within a striking landscape of riverine forest, open plains and dramatic escarpment views—an ideal setting to slow down and experience a truly untouched corner of Africa.
Lentorre is intentionally small and exclusive, accommodating a maximum of just 16 guests across four spacious villas and two family units. Each standalone villa enjoys uninterrupted wilderness views towards Shompole Mountain and features a private plunge pool, creating a strong sense of privacy and immersion in nature. As the only lodge within the conservancy, Lentorre offers an exceptional level of exclusivity, with the option for private use for small groups seeking a fully personalised safari experience.
A standout feature of the lodge is its underground photographic hide, positioned directly beside a permanent waterhole. From here, guests can observe wildlife at eye level as zebra, antelope and primates visit during the day, while evenings often bring predators such as lion, hyena, leopard and elephant—an extraordinary opportunity for both photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.
What truly sets Lentorre apart is its location within a living landscape where wildlife and local Maasai livestock coexist in balance, creating a daily movement of animals along the Ewaso Ngiro River. This harmony offers guests a deeper understanding of conservation, community and human–wildlife coexistence. Combined with diverse activities—from game drives and walking safaris to river tubing, birdwatching and cultural encounters—Lentorre Lodge delivers a safari experience that is immersive, meaningful and quietly luxurious.

Photographic Hide - Through the Lens at Lentorre
One of Africa’s finest photographic hides, offering intimate, eye-level wildlife encounters beside a permanent waterhole.
Widely regarded as one of the finest photographic hides in Africa, Lentorre Lodge’s underground hide offers an exceptional, ground-level perspective on wildlife. Discreetly positioned beside a permanent, spring-fed waterhole and accessed via a tunnel, the hide allows guests to observe animals at eye level in complete silence. Throughout the day, zebra, antelope and primates gather to drink, while evenings often bring a dramatic shift in activity as elephant, buffalo and predators such as lion, hyena and leopard arrive under the cover of darkness. The close proximity, natural behaviour and ever-changing light make this an extraordinary setting for wildlife photography, with opportunities rarely matched elsewhere on the continent. For photographers and safari enthusiasts alike, the hide provides hours of uninterrupted observation and is a defining highlight of a stay at Lentorre Lodge.

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!

Hola, I’m Andrea and my love affair with the captivating world of safaris began during my teenage years when I embarked on my very first safari in Kenya. There, amidst the awe-inspiring wildlife and expansive plains, I found my true passion. Over the years, Kenya has called me back time and time again, leading me to explore its myriad camps, conservancies, and renowned parks. More recently, I've had the privilege of staying at all the Porini Camps, where the spotlight shines on wildlife conservation—a cause close to my heart as I traverse the globe. While Kenya holds a special place in my wanderlust-filled heart, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda have also woven their magic into my soul.
