The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve.
Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant
and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are never out of
sight. Birds, too, are prolific. Including migrants, well over 450
species have been recorded, among them, 57 species of birds of prey.
The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well-spread rainfall year

night. Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration is
in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the sensation is unparalleled.

princess and awoke up the Queen of England.


Sarova
Lion Hill Lodge is a beautiful retreat set in Lake Nakuru National Park

"If
you are a vegetarian, you may want to let the service team know ahead
of time so they can cater for your needs. I rarely recommend with a
definite touch that someone choose one hotel over the other, but this
one comes particularly high on my recommendations. I would highly
recommend this place because not only is it efficiently run but it has
one thing most park/ reserve hotels tend to lack - the personal warm
touch to everything."
