From Lake Magadi, head southeast on the main road (Magadi Road) towards the town of Magadi. Continue driving for about 25 kilometers until you reach the town. Once in Magadi, follow the signs towards Shompole Conservancy. Turn onto the dirt road leading to Shompole Conservancy, which is approximately 14 kilometers away. The road may be rough, so ensure your vehicle is suitable for off-road driving. After approximately 14 kilometers, you will see signs directing you to Shompole Wildlife Hide. Follow the signs to reach your destination.
-
Public Transportation
If you are using public transport, you can take a matatus (shared minivans) from Nairobi to Magadi. The journey typically takes about 2 to 3 hours. Once you arrive in Magadi, you may need to hire a local taxi to take you to Shompole Conservancy, as public transport does not go directly to the hide. The taxi ride will be approximately 14 kilometers and could cost around 2,000 to 4,000 KES depending on negotiation. Make sure to confirm the price before starting your journey.
-
Guided Tour
Alternatively, consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation from Lake Magadi to Shompole Wildlife Hide. Many tour operators offer packages that include pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation in Lake Magadi. This option may include additional costs for the tour package, typically ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 KES per person, which covers transportation and possibly lunch.
