Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge

Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya

A long-established lodge set into the hillside above Lake Nakuru, with sweeping views over the lake’s flamingo-lined shore.

Overview

Built into a hillside overlooking Lake Nakuru, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is one of the park’s most established properties, its elevated position giving guests a wide outlook over the lake and the rhino sanctuary that surrounds it.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Cottages set among indigenous forest on the hillside, each with a balcony or veranda facing the lake, comfortably furnished in a straightforward safari style.

Food & Service

Buffet-style Kenyan and international dining with lake views, plus a pool and terrace built to make the most of the hillside position.

Activities

Game drives around Lake Nakuru in search of both black and white rhino, alongside the lake’s famous (if fluctuating) flamingo populations.

Wildlife & Photography

Lake Nakuru National Park is one of Kenya’s most important rhino sanctuaries, fully fenced to protect both black and white rhino, and also supports Rothschild’s giraffe and a significant waterbird population.

A Photographer's Note

The lodge’s elevated hillside terraces offer a genuinely different wide-angle view over the lake than anything available from a vehicle at ground level.

Conservation & Impact

The lodge supports the park’s rhino protection programme and broader Lake Nakuru conservation initiatives tied to the lake’s fragile soda-lake ecosystem.
