The 100 acres “Africa Experience” safari park in Kent, England, is a place where many African species are free to roam as if they were at home… except they don’t have to worry about fighting for meager water holes here.

When you arrive, you will get a glass of champagne and meet your enthusiastic guide. You are then taken on a safari experience to rival that of Africa, as all the animals are easily locatable in the vicinity of the lodge.

You then stop at your luxury tented camp, complete with a bar and restaurant. There is an elevated platform, so you can enjoy looking at the animals as you relax.

The open kitchen cooks a five-course African banquet for you and the other explorers, and the day is finished with story-telling and information about the important conservation work owners, The Aspinall Foundation, do in Africa.

The following day features another round of safari adventuring before returning you back to England, where you collect your bags.

Giraffe Lodge was formerly called Livingstone Lodge, and it's in the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park on the eastern bank of the United Kingdom.

The accommodation is in glamping style, in luxurious tents overlooking the 600 acres of the national park.

The experience is pretty much like an African escape, except for the mosquitoes. No bites, and definitely no malaria is present here.

The African-themed restaurant serves locally produced food.

The Cheetah Tent has a stylish four-post bed, where you can stretch and relax after a long day of safari.

Black rhinos, wildebeests, zebras, ostrich, and many other species are roaming freely in front of your porch.

And, of course, you will see giraffes too on your safari trips.

Sublime glamping in a Kent safari park - Refundable hotel

Giraffe lodge, port lympne hotel & reserve, kent.

Property details

• Bringing the Savannah to Kent: Located in the tranquil, bucolic landscape of south Kent, Port Lympne Reserve is a true slice of the African Savannah by the English coast. Taking its luxury tented accommodation to new heights, it now offers the chance to get up close and personal with their mesmerising giraffes, with a stay under the stars at Giraffe Lodge.
• Award-winning experience: Offering one-night safari trips, Giraffe Lodge was a winner of the Tourism Experience of the Year award at the 2016 Visit England Awards - and for good reason. This utterly unique spot offers luxury camping in private safari tents, with views out over the park's watering hole and beyond to the English Channel.
• Delicious dining: You'll be as close to an authentic African escape as it gets, with safaris led by the Reserve's specialist rangers. Dinner is served in the Lapa - a large African-style lodge with views onto the watering hole. Here, traditional South African-style food is prepared over an open fire.
