The stay is brilliant - waking up with the lions roaring and even going throughout the night (which did scare our 2yo!) was amazing. we would definitely upgrade to a lodge where you get a golf buggy next time as the zoo is difficult to get round on foot as it’s so hilly. Also the sofa bed which is the double bed (alongside 2 singles) is unbelievably uncomfortable - I’m talking the worst nights sleep on a rock hard surface! The pod is also tiny so it is a tight squeeze and the sofa bed once downtotally blocks the front door

Lovely stay with very friendly and polite staff - very clean and comfortable surroundings. Only caveat is that it’s not the most baby friendly if you are travelling alone with a baby & the Accomadation I had did not have a fridge.

A fantastic get away from London. So relaxing. Staff so friendly. Everything was so easy and well organised. Walking in the evening was so peaceful. One thing, I forgot a hygiene item but there is no shop for essentials. But of course staff supplied item free of charge.

1 night family stay
Our stay included access to the park for 2 days with the safari excursion. Our pod was ready at the time stated and was clean and tidy. They provided all bedding, towels and a bag of marshmallows for the fire pit. All staff were friendly and very helpful.
We ate at Babydoll’s in the evening and food was delicious… only down side is snack food and drinks in the cafes are quite expensive, I don’t think they need to be that pricey. Overall we loved it and would love to go back.
