We stayed for 1 night at the Lion Hill Lodge as part of our 7 day Safari with Somak Safari Holidays.

We absolutely loved it , and the Games drives and walk on the Salt Licks next to the lake were a fabulous experience.

How very sad it is though to see Lake Nakuru dissappearing due to the development of Nakuru town and surrounding areas.
You can actually see the damage that this is doing.

A really, really lovely peacful place and most definately worth a visit. How we long to go back!!

We stayed here also on our safari for one night.

The place is set high on the hill and is surrounded with Arcadia trees, overlooking Lake Nukuru. From the hotel you can see all of the pink around the edge of the lake (the flamingos).

The setting is beautiful.

We were a little spoilt coming from Sarova Mara having spent two luxurious nights in executive tents.

We felt that the rooms were fairly ordinary in comparison, however, they were comfortable and clean (you cant ask for much more!).

At night time (before dinner), they put traditional African dance show for all guests which was a great touch.

The restaurant was nice and food and service was good.

All in all, it was a nice place, but i though the rooms could do with some renovating (to keep in line with the other Sarova standards).

This lodge is in the park itself and sits tucked on a hill over looking the park and lake. It is phenominal to see pink almost from horizon to horizon knowing that it is hundreds of thousands of flamingos. There are many white rhinos, zebra, antelope, birds, warthogs, baboons and vervet monkeys skampering about the park. The lodge is very hilly and steep so it is a good climb to get to most of the bungalos. Each room is a private bungalo with a balcony. Don't plan on using the balcony from around sunset to just after sun rise due to the bad mosquitos. Each room does have mosquito netting and other things to keep you comfortable while inside. The tribal dance and music presentation at night out under the stars is fun. The buffetts are very tasty if nothing special. The service and attention is non-intrusive but very nice. Bring your own travel alarm clock since there are none and no phones. The grounds are lush and beautifully landscaped. The amount of colorfull birds in the lodge are amazing. There is a quaint, well stocked gift shop. Search a little and find the hand made flamingo feather pins and earrings. They are inexpensive but a beautifull memory of the game park. If you are doing a game drive do a late afternoon one when the critters are out and about but relaxed. We were able to get out and walk along the lake with the flamingos. AMAZING.

Very comfortable lodge on a hill above Lake Nakuru. As previously posted, the rooms are small and could use an update, but overall very comfortable. The meals are served buffet style and are good. The staff are friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night, but that one night was a very pleasant experience. Service included bed turn-down complete with mosquito netting pulled around the bed, although we didn't really need it.

We loved Lake Nakuru - the pink flamingos are amazing. We also saw our only leopard of the week in Kenya at this reserve. White rhinos, one black rhino, cape buffalo, and the endangered Rothschild giraffe.
