The Sarova Lion Hill stands on a wooded hill (Lion Hill) overlooking Lake Nakuru. Situated above the lake and ringed by forests of Euphorbia Candelabra and acacia, the lodge commands a stunning view over the lake and beyond to the Menengai Crater and the Aberdare range. 

Location 

Sarova Lion Hill is located within Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is 160 kms north of Nairobi and lies at the heart of the Great Rift Valley. Nearby are the lakes of Elementaita, Naivasha and Bogoria.

Accommodation at Sarova Lion Hill is provided in 64 ensuite chalets, two luxury suites and one honeymoon suite, each with its own balcony and view of the lake (mosquito nets, luxury bathrooms, 24-hour electricity).
