The Sarova Lion Hills Game Lodge is a lovely place, beautifully laid out with excellent facilities and a wide choice of good food. The staff, and there are a lot of them, are, to a person, happy, cheerful, polite and good at what they do. There is always a greeting, a smile and an enquiry about how your day is going. In my experience Kenyans are naturally like that, but this is taken to a different level and it almost has the feel of 'corporate insistence'. It might give guests a more 'authentic' experience by allowing more 'individual' interaction. At lunch and dinner it appears to be the norm to have somebody wandering around the restaurant playing a guitar and singing He wasn't bad at all, but, to me that doesn't sit particularly well in a lodge that is located within the Nakuru National Park and presumably built to cater for people on safari. That, and the variety of games and competitions all seem a bit too 'seasidey' and not in keeping with the surrounding - but then I'm a bit of a grump about such things. Please don't get me wrong, it is a very nice place to stay, and we enjoyed our stay, but it wasn't quite right for us.
