Sarova Woodlands Hotel & Spa

Sarova Woodlands sits at the edge of Nakuru town, close enough to Lake Nakuru National Park for an early game drive but built with the full comforts of a proper hotel — manicured gardens, a spa wing, and conference rooms that make it as popular with business travellers as with safari guests passing through. It's a useful hybrid for anyone splitting a Rift Valley itinerary between wildlife and work.

Rooms open onto landscaped grounds thick with trees (the “Woodlands” name earns its keep), and the spa offers a genuine break from the road — massages, steam rooms, and a pool used as much for relaxing as for cooling off. The restaurant serves a broad Kenyan and international menu, and staff are well practised at helping guests time their park entry for the best early light.
