Stay in a bubble near roaring lions at Port Lympne safari resort for an immersive and thrilling experience
Sleeping next to hungry lions was thrilling, not terrifying
I had the unique opportunity to stay at the Port Lympne safari resort in the new Lookout Bubble, just a stone’s throw away from the lion enclosure. Being woken up by the sound of roaring lions was anything but terrifying for me—it was thrilling.
A Close Encounter with the King of the Jungle
As a guest at the Port Lympne safari resort, I had the chance to spend the night in a transparent dome called the Lookout Bubble. Positioned within grumbling distance of the lion enclosure, it provided a safe and cozy shelter, allowing me to experience the majestic creatures up close and personal.
An Epic Safari Tour
Upon arrival, I embarked on an epic safari tour, riding around the 600-acre site in a truck guided by one of the park’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. I was introduced to an array of fascinating creatures, including ostriches, wolves, baboons, and more.
Afternoon Tea in the Lap of Luxury
Following the safari, I indulged in a delightful afternoon tea at the opulent Mansion House. The sumptuous spread of finger sandwiches, cakes, and pastries provided the perfect midday pick-me-up after an eventful morning.

Returning to the Lookout Bubble after a day of exploration, I had the pleasure of soaking in the breathtaking views of the Kent countryside, both during the tranquil moments under the stars and as the morning sunrise cast its warm glow across the landscape.
