Tiger Lodge

Location

With one side of the lodge set inside the tiger enclosure and the other side looking out to sea, you’ll be spoilt for choice with these incredible views. Large windows in the living area and master bedroom face into the tiger’s world so you can come face to face with our impressive big cats as they pad through the undergrowth right under your nose! French doors lead to a private balcony with seating where you can relax and watch the sunset over the sea as the twinkling lights of the French coast come into view.

Exclusive Access

Experience the reserve on your personal golf buggy.  Access areas that are not open to the public and see the wild in a different light. Explore the park before official opening hours from 8:30am and enjoy special routes around the park after hours.

Eating

Set in a beautiful landscaped garden, at the heart of Port Lympne Reserve, the new Babydoll’s Wood Fired Pizza is sure to delight lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. The stylish and modern restaurant, has been named after the much loved gorilla, Babydoll, who at the grand old age of 55, is the last surviving original Howletts gorilla.

Open every day from 12.00pm to 10.00pm you can relax in the garden, or curl up on the comfy sofas and armchairs on the veranda with a glass of prosecco and a selection of antipasti, before tucking in to a freshly prepared wood fired pizza or pasta dish.  We also offer gluten free pizza, alongside a selection of wines, beers and non alcoholic drinks.

Alternatively, enjoy fine dining at the Port Lympne Hotel Restaurant, just a short walk down the famous Trojan steps or try a tasty treat at the Pinewood Café.

We use the very best seasonal produce from our own vegetable and herb gardens and locally sourced ingredients wherever we can in our restaurants.

After a day spent exploring the reserve in your personal golf buggy, why not relax at the Treehouse Clubhouse and enjoy the roaring indoor fire in the winter, or bask in the afternoon sun on the lawns in the summer. You can enjoy a drink from the well-stocked bar as you chat to your fellow guests and our rangers, or play games and enjoy the warmth of the outdoor fire pits as you toast marshmallows and watch the sun set over the rhino paddocks. 

Experience

Two amazing views await you. Watch the tigers as they stroll through their enclosure and enjoy panoramic views of the Kent coastline all from comfort of your luxury Lodge. You will also get access to the reserve before the general public as part of this amazing new experience.
