Lentorre Wildlife Waterhole - South Rift Valley, Kenya

This live waterhole camera sits beside a photography hide at Lentorre Lodge in the Olkirimatian Conservancy, a community owned wildlife area in Kenya's South Rift Valley adjacent to the Shompole conservation area along the Tanzanian border.

The Olkirimatian and Shompole conservancies are managed by the local Maasai community, representing one of the most successful models of community led conservation in East Africa. Wildlife and livestock share the same land here, with the conservancy generating income through carefully managed eco-tourism that gives local people a direct financial stake in protecting the wildlife around them.

The waterhole draws elephant, lion, leopard, giraffe, zebra, and a remarkable variety of East African birdlife, set against the dramatic backdrop of the South Rift Valley escarpment.

Did You Know? The South Rift Valley is part of the Great Rift Valley, a 6,000 kilometre geological fault that runs from the Middle East down through East Africa. The Rift is slowly pulling the African continent apart at a rate of around 6 to 7 millimetres per year, and in around 10 million years a new ocean will begin to form where Kenya now stands.
