The staff! They made our stay at Sarova memorable. If we had another honeymoon, we would spend it here. Lots of credit to everyone that made it special. From the reception to the restaurant to the sauna, the spa, the pool, and the room services. We extremely enjoyed our stay. We will be back soon.

Property was beautiful and staff were great. There was a lot of noise from staff and guests outside our room. Almost felt like there was no privacy. The buffet at the lodge was not upto 4 star standards. Food tasted bland and old.

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.

Deben insonorizar las habitaciones.
El hotel está muy bien. La situación es muy buena. El problema son las habitaciones. Resulta que se conectan por una puerta interior, y no filtra los sonidos. A nosotros nos despertaron a las 5: 15 de la mañana, los huéspedes de la otra habitación y simplemente estaban hablando. Parecía que estaban en nuestra habitación

Fantastic location. We'll laid out resort with everything you can want in one place. Right in the game park creating a sense of being a part of the entire experience. Loads of birds and animals easily spotted from the safety of the vehicle. Quality experience overall. Would definitely go again.

Sarova lion is an excellent lodge. The food is outstanding, the staff goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The location is great and you get to see so many animals just outside the gates. Highly recommend this place despite the high cost!
