Imagine waking up to the roar of a lion or the playful chirps of exotic birds – not in Africa, but in the heart of England. West Midlands Safari Park offers a truly unique overnight wildlife experience, allowing guests to stay in luxurious African-style lodges just a whisker away from incredible animals.

This extraordinary adventure began in 2021 with eight lodges, initially offering close encounters with elephants and cheetahs. Since then, the park has expanded to 34 lodges, providing breathtaking views of giraffes, rhinos, red pandas, tigers, lions, hippos, and wild dogs. This expansion makes it the first accommodation of its kind in Europe.

Each lodge is strategically positioned to overlook specific animal enclosures, offering a truly immersive experience. From the two-bedroom rhino lodge with its panoramic views to the giraffe lodges where guests can stand eye-to-eye with these majestic creatures, there's an unforgettable experience for everyone.

The park's commitment to providing a high-quality experience has been recognized with the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Award for two consecutive years. Head of Marketing, Vikki Green, expressed pride in the team's dedication to creating memorable experiences for visitors.

Beyond the unique animal encounters, the lodges themselves offer a blend of luxury and comfort. Whether you're relaxing in a "chill-out nest" or enjoying a meal with a view, the accommodations are designed to enhance your safari adventure. Two cottages are also available next to the red panda enclosures, offering a more intimate wildlife experience.

The West Midlands Safari Park continues to innovate and offer unique experiences, including the annual Santa Safari, which transports families to the heart of the North Pole during the holiday season. This innovative approach to wildlife tourism offers a truly unforgettable experience for animal lovers and adventure seekers alike.
