West Midlands Safari Park opens new holiday lodges next to tigers

Imagine sleeping a whisker away from tigers. Stays at brand new Tiger Lodges are going on sale today and they're around just one and three quarter hours drive away from Nottingham.

West Midland Safari Park's latest addition to its park's overnight stay facilities are scheduled to open to the first guests on Friday, September 30. The amazing hideaways even include a sunken hot tub that could bring you eye to eye with the big cats.

In breathtaking CGI imagery that show how the lodges area is being designed, there's a flavour of the adventure to come. There are four luxury tiger cabins - two with private terraces with sunken hot tubs where it appears that just glazing separates you from the magnificent views straight into the Sumatran tiger habitat.

Lodges with a hot tub are single-storey with a covered outside area, and can sleep up to five people. Lodges without a hot tub are double-storey and can sleep up to seven.

The Safari Park says that from the new lodges you'll be able to "watch the stunning Sumatran tigers right outside your window". Adding: "These incredible felines are the smallest variety of tiger. Their stripes are as unique as a human’s fingerprints, with each individual having its own stripe pattern. Unlike most of their cousins, tigers love swimming and will frequently cool off by having a dip in nearby water!"

Those staying in one of these or the parks other wildlife lodges have a two-day admission ticket to the Safari Park and its attractions included in the price. Dinner and breakfast are also included in the package.
