Where to Stay

Sarova Lion Hill Lodge

from $360 per person per night for 2026/27

A great lodge to experience the Great African Rift Valley

Sarova Hill Lodge is on the rim of Lake Nakuru Natinal Park, famous for its flamingo and white rhino populations. Its location within a two-hour drive from Nairobi, makes it a favourite with residents and visitors to Kenya. Savora Hill Lodge is a fantastic base for those particularly interested in bird watching and being surrounded in beautiful landscapes.

Lots of accommodation and at an affordable price

With its location so close to Nairobi, it can get very busy

About the location

This lodge is nestled along the Lion Hill overlooking the flamingo pink rimmed Lake Nakuru in Central Kenya. The lake takes up about a third of the park size, and it is the lake that has become famously inhabited by huge populations of flamingos.

Depending on the season, the lake can be shimmering with thousands, if not millions of bright pink legs.
