Great value for the experience
Game drives from Sarova Woodlands Nakuru were consistently excellent — we saw lion and cheetah on our first morning. The pool and à la carte dining were a nice step up.

Guiding was the highlight
Sundowners on the plains and a bush breakfast we still talk about. Our guide made the trip. The pool and à la carte dining were a nice step up.
