Sleep within a whisker of tigers
There’s nowhere else in the world where you can wake up with a tiger at your window! Tiger Lodge offers the unforgettable experience of living with Port Lympne’s majestic tigers.
Nestled above the landscaped gardens, the lodges offer a chance to get up close to this endangered species, enjoying breathtaking coastal views from a secluded balcony and explore the reserve in your personal golf buggy.

Our luxury lodges, Zemo and Zarka, both sleep up to four guests with the option of an additional cot. The accommodation includes a rustic lounge and luxurious bathroom with a monsoon shower. The lodge features panoramic windows overlooking the tiger habitat and includes a spacious private garden. They come complete with log burner, mini bar, nespresso machine, games and books, Bamford products in the bathroom, WiFi, 4K TV and a record player.

At both lodges, large windows face out onto our tigers so you can sleep within a whisker of these impressive big cats. French doors lead from the master bedrooms to the private balconies and offer breathtaking views across the sea.
Guests can explore the 600-acre reserve with a golf buggy in their own time, spend an afternoon on safari, or simply relax in the lodge’s private balcony.

The lodge enticed me to Port Lympne, the hospitality won me over and the tigers stole my heart, but it’s the heart and soul with which the foundation care for their creatures - big or small, beautiful or unusual - that really, truly made it magical to witness.
