It was a day's stay at Sarov Lion Hill Game Lodge for us. We arrived there little late, by 3.30 pm, and they took us straightway for a lunch, which was already over by hotel timings. The hotel is very good, the staff are all polite and always happy to help you. The game drive from our hotel was very... More

Been on business meeting with colleagues. Couldn't have been a better choice. The hotel is ethnic, nicely situated in the Nakuru National Park. No TV And room telephones. Three game drives in two days - will see a lot of wild buffaloes, zebras, deers, antelopes, impalas, some lions, rhinos, hippopotamus, hyenas, jackals, flamingoes, pelicans and different bird species. Great scenery... More

Great location, nice food, helpful staff. Overall a commendable experience. However, if by any chance, you find yourself traveling to the National Park and the Lodge on your own, without an organized tour and a guide - make sure you inquire with the lodge staff to receive very exact directions, including which gate to the Park to use, what form...

I'm a frequent visitor to Lion Hill in Lake Nakuru National Park, great place with very friendly staff and good food. The game drives are really very good and the park is a great place to go for a couple of days animal and bird watching.

Well located within the Lake Nakuru NP, the Sarova Lion Hill suffers the consequences of being situated relatively near Nairobi, therefore overrun with day visitors and conference groups. I had emailed the reservation desk and asked for a 'good' room, not knowing what to expect. We were allotted Room #22, next to which is a Suite, the last room. So... More

There are 2 rooms per small cottage, which can be a bit strange given you can hear what is going on in the other room at night (snoring). Having said that the cottages are very spacious and comfortable.Before dinner there is a traditional music and dance show every night and a firepit to enjoy drinks. Food is plentiful and good...
