First look at new luxury lodges at West Midland Safari Park

The white rhino lodges at the Bewdley attraction sleep up to six people and is the only experience of its kind in the country.

The ground floor has an open-plan living space with a secluded chill out nest which doubles up as a cosy double bed and has a balcony offering ground-level views of the rhinos.

Two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor, along with a balcony providing panoramic views of the rhinos and safari.

In the giraffe lodges, guests can come eye-to-eye with the park’s charismatic tower of eight giraffes from the balcony on the first floor, which is where the living room, kitchenette and dining room are situated.

A bathroom and two bedrooms are downstairs, providing accommodation for five people.

The introduction of the new lodges has also enabled the park to update the habitats of the animals, giving them 24-hour access to both their indoor and outdoor environments.

Managing Director, Chris Kelly said: "We're thrilled that the new giraffe and rhino lodges open on Friday and they look spectacular. Our teams have been working incredibly hard over the past six months to get them ready and add all the finishing touches that will make our guests’ stay truly memorable.

“I hope our guests enjoy their experience with us and we look forward to starting our next stage of development with the Tiger Lodges, which we hope to open later in the year.”

Short breaks at the safari lodges include breakfast and dinner, spectacular views of the animals, admission to the Park for two days and Theme Park wristbands, during the summer season.

The lodges also include free Wi-Fi, smart TV, robes, Noble Isle toiletries, 24-hour concierge and hot drink facilities.
