Very comfortable and cozy type lodge. The lake is visable from a distance and it is a lovely place to spend a night or weekend. I lived in Kenya as a child and Nakuru was a favorite. Flamingos as far as the eye could see. Back then the water was much closer to the thorn trees and no roofs or bldgs of Nakuru town could be seen - but that was 30 years ago. Nakuru park is still an outstanding game park and should be visited. We saw rhinos all over the place and a beautiful lioness eating her kill. That evening at the lodge we had a wonderful night with African dancing and a great buffet and our room was very nice and comfortable and the king bed was great. Nice bathroom. No problems at all and it is a very good choice. Choices are limited in Nakuru game park so make this your choice. Friendly staff and a very cozy dining area that opens up to a lovely deck area. Has lots of character and charm and we truly enjoyed our stay.

According to 2001 figures Nakuru outstrips Maasai Mara in tourist arrivals . Most people come here for a day to see flamingoes which is a pity as for a small sanctuary , Nakuru packs quite a punch . You can see everything except elephants . Lion hill Lodge is actually situated on a hill with prominent lion caves but hakuna matata , the place is very secure even though your eyes flick up to the lion cave every time you enter / leave the property . I do not understand why an issue is being made out about " lake views " . It is immaterial as you would go to the Baboon cliff anyway . The rooms and food are remarkably good . The staff very cheerful and helping . No complaints at all . Do not miss the 7 PM cultural show as it is great fun and you can shake a leg too , to the beat of African drums and other amazing traditional instuments .

  • Liked — the landscaping and the cheerful girl at the dnner hall reception [ was it Betty ? ]
  • Disliked — the dik-dik was very shy

I was there this month and Gosh is it an amazing place. The rooms are great but the most beautiful thing was the morning shower, just the right pressure and temperature you want to stay there for ever.The food is great very natural and vegans are taken care of.
I got a chance to use the Tulia Spa is the most relaxing massage, and the lady is great.


All the staff are great and they receive you warmly and ensure that your stay there is as comfortable as it can be. The game drive was also an amazing, chasing the after the lions which we didn ot manage to catch but the beautiful flamingos catwalked for us.
If you are ever in Nakuru this is one place you should never miss

Great service and rooms. The hotel is located in Nakuru National Park itself so we don't waste time travelling for game watching. Our guide was great and knowledgeable. Loved the ambience of the hotel and there's a view of the lake itself from the hotel. A nice touch was the hot water bottle placed in the bed during the turn down service to warm the bed up before we tucked in. The only thing I find lacking was that the only shopping nearby was a dusty shop right outside the national park.

Overall, would definitely recommend it to my friends. The only thing I find The only downside is there is hardly any shopp

We stayed here for one night in the middle of our safari. I believe it to be oone of the better of the lodges in the area. However Lake Nakuru itself was not my favourite place the flamingos were amazing in their numbers and we were lucky enough to see black and white rhinos! But It did remind me of woburn safari park. Its close proximity to Nakuru kenyas 3rd largest city is very eveident as there are a lot of 'day trippers' and school trips all the time. The lodge itself was lovely the food was great, this was a common trait at the sarova chain as we coule not complain throughout our stays with them. We saw the local dancers which was fab and you could take pictures without being charged!! Please take a torch as the location of some of the rooms are away from the main builings. Another enjoyable stay!!!!1
