Lion Hill Game Lodge exceeded our expectations by far! The location was so close to Lake Nakuru which was stunning and offered us so many wonderful animal sightings including many giraffe, white and black rhino, lions (including tree climbing lions), hyena, buffalo, flamingo and so many more beautiful birds. The staff were extremely friendly, and it was a wonderful surprise that a housekeeper named Patrick would put a hot water bottle in our bed and arrange our mosquito net whilst we ate dinner. We loved the facilities which included an amazing pool with stunning views, and games such as a pool table, dart board and table tennis. The bar and restaurant were wonderful, with beautiful views over the lake and a great selection on offer. We really enjoyed trying local dishes such as green banana casserole and goat stew. Thank you for such an incredible experience Lion Hill Game Lodge 💜

The whole place could use a bit of a refresh as it is starting to show its age. The rooms were comfortable enough. It was nice to be able to sit outside. The food at the restaurant seemed to be the same for lunch and dinner and the same again the next day. The fish was prepared very nicely. The resort did not have our specifications correct with being all inclusive and kept telling us that drinks were extra, which got a bit annoying after a few days.

Wish we spent more than 1 night here. The food and service in the restaurant were exceptional. A large range of perfectly cooked dishes, fresh and healthy. Friendly, respectful and attentive service. Peter was particularly kind and welcoming to us, making us feel at home as we relaxed by the bonfire. Rooms are straightforward but tick the boxes in all the right places. Private, comfortable, a lock safe, clean, great water pressure and hot water bottles delivered to boot. The surrounding park seems to punch above it’s weight. Animals, bird life, and the natural environment are spectacular!

We absolutely loved our time at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. The staff was super friendly and handled any requests quickly. We had laundry done on-site and it was returned the same day! The food was outstanding and the evening fire pit time was the icing on the cake.

Amazing lodge in the middle of Nakuru national park. I couldn't believe the food and wifi quality considering the location of the lodge. The staff was amazing, everyone was very nice, helpful and went beyond to give us the best possible experience. Even we were there during a very busy time (peak season and arriving at a time when 6 vans of tourists were checking in) everything ran smoothly and we didn't have to wait too long for anything. The rooms were modest, but very comfy and idyllic. If I would come back to Nakuru I would definitely stay at this place again. You guys are doing a wonderful job!

We came there after long trip, our room was not ready, but manager was so kind and gave us another room to rest, that was very helpful and nice. Food there is amazing, anyone can find something, no matter which food preferences you have. When we got our room, we were impressed of size and now modern it was. Especially I would like to mention bathroom, was like a proper 5 stars hotel, with impressive variety of amenities. I recommend everyone to visit this place.

Nice and relaxing Lodge located inside Nakuru National Park that that we highly recommend for couples or families. My wife and I spent two nights and we had a wonderful time. We have been at this lodge many times and we keep coming back. Their buffet during breakfast, lunch and dinner are superb as they cater for all their clientele. While driving around the lake, we saw Rhinos, Giraffes, various Gazelles, Swans, Zebras, Flamingos, etc.

Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge has maintained their standards over the years. It was worth the price tag. It has the most stunning Christmas Village set up this period. The kids had a wonderful time there. And the service is second to none! We are looking forward to our next stay.

This is an amazing hotel in the middle of Nakuru Lake National Park. We were made to feel so welcome from all the friendly staff the moment we arrived and in particular, by Jayne the general manager and Angela in the restaurant. The hotel is situated within the park and because of that means it only takes a short drive to be amongst the wildlife. It also gets visited by an incredible array of birdlife on the hotel grounds itself. The rooms were spotlessly clean with a tasty diverse selection of food on an evening. It was a wonderful stay from start to finish!

Overall the stay was absolutely fantastic. The meals were great.. A particular shout out to Angela at the restaurant. Her hospitality was unmatched. The lodge was extremely beautiful and well maintained. The reception needs to have better communication. Nelson was of great help. However, Judy at the reception was quite rude. We had agreed on a late check out by the Duty Manager, however she came knocking on our door and rudely spoke to us about how we need to leave. Not a good note to leave on.

Sarova Lion Hill is a great place to be especially during the festive season. Amazing big place, lots of activities to do apart from game drives, they have a heated pool, snooker table, table tennis, badminton. Not to mention lots of fun things for kids too like bracelets making, trampoline, bouncing castle, wet slide, movies at night etc. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to serve and help you. The food was great with so so many options. The beds were cosy and comfortable. The rooms were clean and decent. Had a wonderful stay.

My family and I had an excellent vacation. The lodge is located on a hill and since my family and I love nature, we decided to try it out. it was such an amazing experience. The food is very yummy and they kept changing the menu to our liking. On our last evening they had the Swahili menu Oh My! It was so delicious kudos to the chefs 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾The staff are amazing very friendly and caring and ready to assist. Great customer service 👌👌kudos to Jayne and the team for making our holiday experience wonderful. We shall be back, !

We enjoyed our stay at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge very much. Immaculate views, delicious food, and very entertaining meal times! Felt like home. The lodge was a bit small for a family of 3 and I wish we were informed about the hilly walk to our lodge! But overall it was a stay to remember!

We had a great stay at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. As in every other Sarova Hotel we stayed at during our one-week trip to Kenya, we experienced very nice, friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and clean, but tend to be a little warm during the night since there's no fan. The restaurant is amazing. There's surely something to find for everyone at the buffet. They also have a fire bowl next to the bar, making it very cozy to sit there in the evening. We surely hope to come back one day.

Cute, cozy, comfortable. Excellent service, and the chef took pride in her menu. The rooms are comfortable but they originally tried to squeeze my group of 7 into two rooms. Quickly fixed when we pointed it out. And the proximity to the Nakuru wildlife refuge is excellent - it's on the inside of the conservation area.

The hotel was okay but I definitely expected more of it. The rooms are quite dated and especially the bathroom could use some work. If you are a buffet and aqua gym kind of person, this hotel is for you. I on the other hand am not this kind of person. The food wasn’t bad at all, but the picnic we got on our last day was honestly horrible. It’s a shame we had to end our stay on a bad note.

The roads make the park very accessible. Table tennis, archery, swimming, pool tables the Lodge has plenty of activities for adults and children. The staff were courteous and the ambience was serene. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return trip.

Great place to stay. We only had one night but I wish we had more nights here. Highly recommended

Thankfully only stayed here for a night. The rooms are severely outdated and look like they haven't changed since they were built in the 70's. The shower curtain was dirty and ripped, and also did absolutely nothing to stop the (cold) water spilling out all over the bathroom floor after a quick shower. Also, there appeared to be mould on the bathroom ceiling. The food was 5/10 at best, absolutely average and nothing to comment on apart from that. **VERY** important note - a glass of wine here is 1100 shillings!!!!!! At least twice as expensive as anywhere I've been in Kenya. The cherry on top was a very loud party held by another (clearly wealthy) group of guests at the opposite end of the lodge with screaming and VERY loud music. When asked, the lady at the front desk said "I'll work on it" and went into the back office (and did absolutely nothing). It was only that the security guard was kind enough to ask them to keep it down that we were able to get any sleep. Super disappointing lack of help from reception on this issue and it really soured the experience to have been treated with less respect than higher paying guests. Wouldn't recommend overall if you can find somewhere else! The two stars I gave are for the helpful security guard and also the lovely man who helped us with our bags to the room.

Amazing place to stay! Excellent service by the staff and specially Oscar who went above and beyond to provide delicious Indian vegetarian food with courtesy and care. Overall the staff is excellent and very helpful! Property is just simply beautiful and so close to the main attractions (Animals). Awesome location right in the jungle on a small hill, surrounded by greenery. The lake Nakuru was visible from my room window. Josephine was another courteous and helpful lady mostly cooking egg preparations. I found the lodge better than the Intercontinental at Mauritius from where I was coming!

Afternoon lunch My visit to the lodge was purely for afternoon lunch after a safari trip around Nakuru National Park. The lodge is well fenced to protect against wildlife, and the grounds are very well maintained. There's a nice play area for children, an archery area, a swimming pool, and stunning views from the restaurant porch. The buffet was a set price of around £15 which was great value for money. There are chefs at many of the food counters serving a good selection of fresh food. Lots of choice throughout, starter, main to desserts or cheese board. If you have special dietary needs, I would check in advance. As it's a buffet type menu, you can eat your fill, so good if you have a healthy appetite. Nice atmosphere with a guitar player, playing and singing.

Amazing place to stay! Excellent service by the staff and specially Oscar who went above and beyond to provide delicious Indian vegetarian food due to my diet restrictions. Overall the staff is excellent and very helpful! Property is just simply beautiful and so close to the main attractions (Animals). Awesome spa place as well and I would highly recommend Olive who works there! She is a pro! Would certainly be back at this property with family next time!

Lovely lodge with amazing facilities and food. Honestly the best variety of food I’ve had thus far after visiting 2 other lodges in Kenya. Staff are very friendly and helpful too and the live music played in the dining room was a nice touch. I’ll definitely come back here if I ever return to lake Nakuru

This lodge is located near Lake Nakuru and suitable for both afternoon game drive and morning game drive at Nakuru National Park. The room is very clean but comparatively small and on top of a small hill. The tap water in the room doesn’t like pure water but include some minerals that make your skin feel slippery. I experienced the same feeling when I went to a hot spring in Japan. Not sure whether it is about the same thing. The restaurant provides variety of food and desserts in acceptable quality. The price for soft drinks are higher than other lodges.

Excellent property with good hospitality near lake nakuru. The staff here is very cooperative and will do their level best to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The restaurant staff especially Oscar helped us to have best vegetarian food here.

Great service! They upgraded us to the best suite with lovely views, gave a big fruit basket and surprised us at dinner with staff singing and cake for our wedding anniversary. The bedroom was warm and they even gave extra quilt and hot water bottle without us asking for it. Meals were of good variety and quality.

We had the pleasure of staying at Sarova Lion Hill in July 2021. We absolutely loved our time there and we are already making plans for when we can return. Our only complaint was that we wished our stay had been longer. The food was phenomenal! Both my husband and I agreed that the food alone would be worth returning for. The grounds were lovely, well kept, and peaceful. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist in any way they could. The atmosphere was so enjoyable. We loved the little extra things they did to make the stay so pleasant, such as the outdoor bonfire, live music, and more. My husband had stayed once before on a previous trip and had a great experience the first time as well. It is a place that will stay in your memory for all the right reasons and make you want to return as often as you can.

We spent one night in the hotel.There are two rooms in the bungalows, the rooms are large and comfortable but not particularly well equipped. Meals are buffet style, but no self-service due to Covid. The food is varied and tasty and the staff are helpful. The hotel garden is beautiful, with a nice view of Lake Nakuru. The park is fenced, so it is safe to walk around the garden at night. As the lodge is inside the national park, you drive out of the gates and you are in the middle of the wildlife. We didn't see famous million of flamingos but a few only, but it was a great experience to see rhinos up close.

Service is excellent. Food was great. Rooms were clean and provided amazing views!

One of our top 3 lodges from our trip to Kenya. Sarova is a sure value. We had there an amazing rest enjoying all the lodge's facilities: sauna (no extra charges), swimming pool, bonfire, buffets etc. The small terrasses in front of each individual room really give more charm to the place. Pictures on internet don't show how nice the rooms are (maybe because of the greyish stones). The view is also beautiful from the garden. Special mention to the very nice lifeguard at the pool, our dear Nixon Bartek, who speaks better polish than I do ;)

I had a one night staycation at the Lodge. The rooms are clean and the staff are professional and friendly. Special thanks to Korir at the reception, Ruth at the Gift shop, Angela at the restaurant, Peter and Dennis at the entertainment spot 😀. Keep up the good work guys adherence to C19 protocols

No .1. Tops ...very clean ..well organized & managed . l loved the live cooking ..all the way, Fantastic...tasty food ...warm/ friendly staff.well priced drinks.

Absolutely tranquil, a bird lovers paradise. Set in panoramic Nakuru National Park which hosts 4 of the Big 5. Located next to Lake Nakuru but is around 20 minutes drive from the the Nakuru town CBD. Well appointed rooms, great dining experiences. Staff go 1000% out of their way to keep you happy. Go there for one of the most relaxing, outdoorsy and classic getaways you'll ever have

A great place to stay located in the Game Park. Very good service from very attentive and professional staff. Great meals.

Decided to stop by and check out the lodge with my Kenyan friend. Though we didn't stay here, we requested to see the rooms and get a tour of the facility for future travel and plans. I've invited a bunch of pictures and the price for the place is seasonal, based on peak and off peak demand. The locally shown prices were $108 per night for a standard room, which was very nice. If you have a larger group, they have suites with a living room area to gather with a TV and couches and dining room table. It was closer to $300 per night, but I can't remember the exact amount. The view of the lake is amazing and the rooms have everything you need. There's a gift shop, a coffee shop and a restaurant. There's a full pool and sauna which include a changing room. The staff all seems very friendly and accommodating. Our stop was a quick half hour preview and we were impressed. Probably worth at least a one or two night stay to enjoy full day safari in the park. Best times to spot game on a game drive is first thing in the morning, starting before or at sunrise. Or late afternoon before the park closes at 6:30pm. Much wildlife coming out to feed around 4 to 5pm or so. That's last couple hours of the evening and first couple hours of the morning is prime time. Please don't let the park ranger at the entry gate scare you from driving your own car or rental car in the park. They really push to upsell the safari trucks and driver, but it costs much less if you drive your own car, even if it's small. Most vehicles we saw in the park were small cars, only a few safari trucks. Keep in mind the vehicle will get very dusty, inside and out, even the engine compartment. We took our rental car to "ExtremeX" in Nakuru for cleaning. Very thorough clean of wash, clean engine and vacuum and wipe down the inside for KES 800 was a great deal and we returned the rental car without any complaints from the company about the vehicle being dirty.

I loved every bit of my stay here. The reception was amazing. The staff was very warm and professional. They truly cared about the guests. From when we booked our stay to when we arrived to when we left. The food was amazing. And let me not even start on the accomodation... The rooms were so nice and well kept. They even had hot water bottles for us in the beds to keep us warm at night. We were given a tour of the place by Karan who did an incredible job... and all our questions were answered properly. It was a very lovely stay. Home away from home... Just that here you have the company of zebras :) Cannot wait to visit this place again.

I loved my experience at Sarova Lion Hill last weekend. The staff was both welcoming and very polite. The serene was breathtaking 😍 not to forget the very delicious meals that were served. I would highly recommend the Sauna. I will definitely be coming back ❤️

Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is tacked in on the slope of the the hill. From the gate keeper to the Lodge Manager and all of the personnel in between they are all genuinely welcoming. The food especially the vegetables, are fresh and tasty from their organic garden. The rooms are spacious, children friendly and the shower is to die for. My wife and I have confirmed that this is our weekend destination. Even persons with disabilities are adequately catered for. We highly recommend Sarova Lion Hill Lodge to anyone looking for a weekend getaway or holiday.

We spent 1 night here at Sarova Lodge and we thought it was beautiful. We wanted to stay another! Beautiful views of the Nakura River and right in the national park. Great location! The lodges were very cute and had everything you needed. The restaurant was lovely and they had a great array of food, even a wonderful live cooking pasta station. The hotel is very green and you feel as though you as in the jungle. A great place to stay if visiting Nakura - would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing experience. The staff was so kind and the Lodge manager, Jane even too her time to welcome guests herself. The food was also very delicious. It's a very chill place.

Lovely stay.. the rooms are decent, rather outdated but well- maintained and clean. All meals were buffet which was pretty good with fair amount of variety. Service was great and the location is fantastic.

Very clean place, super customer service, lovely chefs and food, excellent trained workers and every customer is valued. Manager well done. Will come back

Hotel staff are attentive and the place is as beautiful as always. Our favourite lunch place in Nakuru and for a late afternoon game drive. Needs rain though - nature is crying as the rains are late this season.

Came here with family, we had a great time. The service from the gate as we entered to the end of our stay was awesome. We were catered for well. The game drive was amazing, we saw lions, leopard, hippo and rhino among other animals. It was one of the best game drives I've been on. The buffet food was delicious, albeit a bit cold sometimes but still delicious. Enjoy your stay and have a good time. #letsguide

The jungle here is proper jungle unlike Amboseli or Masai, due to better rain and proximity to Lake Nakuru. And what a pretty jungle it was ! The lodge is well equipped with game room, archery for kids, jogging track, sauna and spa. Food choice was excellent. Very well stocked toilet with bath supplies. Only, free drinking water doesn't seem to be in practice in entire Kenya. Here you get it in room, but during meals, you don't get it at table.

Good place for a night. Rooms(42 & 41) are attached. No problem if your neighbours are quiet. But if there are children next door, it's very noisy. Buffet diner is good and very tastefully. The guy at the meat buffet could work on his attitude towards the guests. The rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. Bring mosquito repellent. The garden is really beautiful and WiFi is everywhere available.

Amazing place to stay. Rooms very clean, staff super helpful and nothing is to much trouble. Resturant well stocked with a good variety of local and European dishes. Can't wait to go back.
