We have stayed at Sarova Lion Hill multiple times, and it is always a pleasure. The staff is amazing, and the property is beautiful. The food is good, with a nice variety. The rooms are nice - and the view is great. Plus, the location inside the park is great. It always feels like you are close to the action with the game drives.

The room was good and clean and the staff very courteous. My only gripe is with the food which was ordinary at best. My past experience at Sarova Lion Hill was very different with the food being great but I was very disappointed this time.

Virginia at reception was amazing! Beautiful property. Just be aware the property is INSIDE the park. So you will have to pay the park fee ($60 per person and $15 for vehicle) to get to the property, so plan accordingly.

The friendliness & helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness, the facilities, everything was almost beyond our expectations. Chalets were on a hill and at 70 we found it tiring to walk up to ours after our meals, but had we a lower one, we wouldn't have had the wonderful view.
