Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is nestled along the Lion Hill overlooking the spectacular flamingo pink-rimmed Lake Nakuru. Its location affords panoramic views of the lake and the picturesque Lake Nakuru National Park. A short two-hour drive from Nairobi, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is a favorite with residents and visitors to Kenya. The Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is cleverly laid out in such a way that most rooms and sitting areas afford stunning views of the lake and the park.

Ashnil Mara Luxury Tented Camp
Ashnil Mara Camp, with 50 luxury tents, is located in the Masai Mara National Reserve and close to the Mara River, famous for the wildebeest migration. This luxury Masai Mara camp is arguably in one of the very best positions in the Masai Mara for game viewing and also provides the perfect setting to sit and relax at the end of an exciting day of game drives. The Ashnil Mara Camp is a four to five-hour drive from Nairobi.
Mara Serena Lodge
Located at the very center of the famous "Mara Triangle" in the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill with long views over the savannah and down to the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River, it stands center-stage to one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife arenas, providing guests with a ringside seat to the "greatest wildlife show on earth", the legendary migration of the wildebeest.
Styled to echo the circular motif of a traditional Maasai manyatta, the Masai Mara Safari Lodge blends international sophistication with raw African beauty while featuring twin rows of individual rooms, each with its own view of the famous Mara River. The central bar and dining areas enjoy spectacular views, as does the rock-surround swimming pool. Each uniquely presented room is accommodated in its own stand-alone modular unit, with uninterrupted views, a private balcony, and a spacious seating area.
All rooms are non-smoking. Among facilities, the lodge has a central dining room, an internal and external bar, a swimming pool and sundeck, a gift shop, a business center, a television with satellite programming in communal areas only, free Wi-Fi, a conference center, board games, and a library of Africana books.

Maasai Mara
Considered by many to be Kenya's finest game reserve, the 650 square miles of the Maasai Mara adjoin Tanzania's well-known Serengeti, forming one ecosystem. The open rolling savannah grassland of the Mara is the home of numerous wildlife species including elephant, rhino, lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, jackal, buffalo, eland, topi, impala, gazelle, warthog, and zebra. From June to September, the annual wildebeest migration takes place when thousands of these animals sweep across the plain and seek out new grazing areas.
On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst Acacia boughs. The river is the gateway to the annual migration of wildebeest from Serengeti to Maasai Mara. The endless plains of East Africa are the setting of the world’s greatest spectacle-the pounding of over 6,000,000 hooves. From the vast Serengeti plains to the Champagne-colored hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara.
Over 1,000,000 wildebeest, 300,000 Thompson gazelles, and some 200,000 zebras relentlessly tracked by Africa’s greatest predators, migrate in a clockwise fashion over 1,800 miles each year in search of green pastures. This continual perilous trek in search of nature’s big green carpet involves no beginning or end to a wildebeest journey. After its life is an endless pilgrimage, a continual search for food, water, and pasture. The only beginning is at birth.
An estimated 400,000 wildebeest calves are born six weeks early each year-usually between late January and mid-March. As for when to see this annual event, consider July to August as the best time to witness the crossing at Mara River). The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalos, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures.
