Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge

Scroll

Wonderfully located on the eastern bank of Lake Nakuru, rooms at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge are blessed with a fine aspect in which to absorb the splendid views. Lake Nakuru is a natural history spectacle, with sometimes in excess of a million lesser and greater flamingos gathering to feed in the algae and plankton-rich, alkaline lake.

The park is home to the Lake Nakuru Rhino Sanctuary.  Established in 1984, this was one of Africa’s first rhino sanctuaries and was setup in response the devastating decline of rhinos in the wild.  Starting with just two rhinos, this has been one of Africa’s big conservation successes and the park is now home to around 120 white rhino and around 30 critically endangered black rhino.

The lodge supports many local initiatives in the area and has been awarded a silver eco-rating in recognition in its innovation and excellence in environmental conservation, responsible resource use and socio-economic investment.

The Tulia wellness spa offers aromatherapy, holistic, Indian and Swedish treatments. There is also a heated outdoor swimming pool in an inviting setting. The lodge has its own vegetable and herb garden which is used by the kitchen team and chefs to complement other locally sourced ingredients, to serve up fine cuisine at the Flamingo Restaurant. Outdoors, a large terrace and bar hosts traditional dance performances each evening, and views of the sunset over the lake can be spectacular.
