In UK, This Lodge Offers Unique Overnight Stays With Lions

The Lion Lodge is the most luxurious overnight accommodation option at the Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve in Kent. This unique experience gives guests the chance to sleep with lions.

The Twitter account @AMAZlNGNATURE often posts interesting videos about animals. Recently, one such video was posted, in which the Lion Lodge hotel room can be seen.

In the video, a forest area can be seen in front of the glass wall, which is probably a zoo. On the other side of the glass wall is the zoo grounds. The lion and lioness are right outside the room. Looking at the lion, it seems as if he is trying to break through the glass and get inside. The lioness sits right next to him. Then the lion walks away from there.

The Lion Lodges are the first of their kind in the world and consist of timber-clad Manhattan loft-style buildings integrated into the lions’ natural and spacious habitat. With picture windows in both the master bedroom and open-plan living area, guests are just a breath away from the magnificent lions.

The beautiful living area features a large open fireplace, underfloor heating and bespoke furniture. The king-size bedroom is designed to sleep four and offers prime views of the lions, while a convenient mezzanine level accessed via a spiral staircase provides two further single beds. An industrial-style wet room with a monsoon shower is completed by Bamford organic toiletries.

For a truly unique experience, guests can relax in the Scandinavian outdoor baths built on raised, secluded platforms overlooking the lions. The perfect Instagram photo!

Partially located in the lion habitat, floor-to-ceiling windows offer incredible views into the world of lions, while doors from the open-plan living area lead to your private garden overlooking the 600-acre wildlife reserve and stunning sea views.

Guests can explore the reserve in their own time by golf buggy, spend an afternoon on safari or simply relax in the lodge’s private gardens.

For all our short-break guests, a safari is included in the price. Your safari will take you on an adventure through our South American, Asian and African experience zones where you will see spectacled bears, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, camels and much more.
