A UK Safari Park is set to open eight new lodges where guests can sleep amongst the giraffes, following “overwhelming demand.”
Riding high on the success of its current lodges, the Safari Park near Bewdley in Worcestershire is set to raise the bar with four new Giraffe Lodges, and four brand-new Rhino Lodges.
The expansion will let guests wake up nose-to-nose with some of their favourite animals, a stay that’s truly un-herd of.
Guests can peer out of their lodges at West Midlands Safari Park to views of the animals.
The site currently features four lodges with views of the giraffes and four of the rhinos, with more being added to meet growing demand.
The new Giraffe Lodges will sleep six people, allowing animal lovers to come eye-to-eye with the eight giraffes from the balcony on the upper floor.
Keen-eyed guests may even be able to spot zebras, antelope and buffalo from their lodgings.
The new two-storey Rhino Lodges will be set in a brand-new area of the park, giving guests a fresh perspective and a closer look at the park’s white rhinos.
Visitors can unwind on private balconies as the animals roam just beyond their windows.
Each lodge boasts modern comfort with a one-of-a-kind wildlife experience, with elegant interiors, spacious living areas, and panoramic views.
One guest raved about the experience on TripAdvisor: “Couldn’t fault it at the Giraffe Lodge.
“We were so close we could even hear the giraffes humming after the park closed and it was quieter.”
Stays also include a three-course dinner and breakfast, along with exclusive after-hours access to select areas of the West Midlands site.
The park also offers lodges overlooking the cheetahs, elephants, red pandas, tigers, lions, hippos and white lions.
Work is already underway to expand the venue’s award-winning luxury accommodation, increasing the total number of lodges to 38.
Safari Lodges manager, Nolan Armstrong, said: “Our Giraffe Safari Lodges have been incredibly popular since they opened, so we’re thrilled to be adding four more to meet demand.
“They are definitely a guest favourite and continue to sell out.
“We’re equally excited to introduce our new Rhino Safari Lodges in a brand-new area, giving guests another incredible opportunity to get up close to these magnificent African animals.”
The new Giraffe Lodges are expected to open in Spring, while the Rhino Lodges will be available later in the year, with bookings already open.
Giraffe Lodges are available from £509 per night for two guests, and the Rhino Lodges start at £449.
