Enjoy breath-taking views in a Lion Lodge

safari lodges birmingham

Immersive views of African lions…

The four fantastic, one-storey lodges are authentically themed and can sleep up to six guests.

Panoramic views of the lions’ new habitat can be witnessed through the large windows in bedrooms and living areas, meaning you can eat, sleep and relax just a whisker away from these magnificent cats.

In one bedroom, you will find a king-sized bed. In the other, there are twin single beds with a king-sized bunk bed above, perfect for young adults or children.

The Wildlife

Lions are impressive, large cats that live in groups, which are called prides. One of the most recognisable aspects of a lion is its mane, which is the longer hair male lions grow around their head, neck and chest. The colour of a mane can vary from lighter blondes, to much darker browns and blacks. Male lions roar to warn the pride about danger, scare off intruders and show their dominance – it can be heard up to five miles away!

Watch our bachelor group of lions as they play together and explore their new home. They were born here at the Park in the summer of 2019 and are growing into stunning young males!

The four brothers are called Havoc, Hodge, Harabi and Hercules with Havoc having the darkest fur of the group – see if you can spot him!

SAFARI LODGES AT WEST MIDLAND SAFARI PARK - Updated 2024 (Bewdley)

You Can Now Stay Overnight In One Of These Luxury Lion Lodges At West Midland Safari Park

We never thought we would want to spend the night with a lion nearby, but these new lodges at West Midland Safari Park are an opportunity we cannot skip.

Charlie Case

We all played sleeping lions at primary school, right? Well, not like this you haven’t. As of today ( July 7 ) West Midland Safari Park has officially opened its Lion Lodges where you can spend the night and watch the safari park’s pride of lions roam the land. This is truly wild!

There have long been several animal-themed lodges at West Midland Safari Park. Placing you up close and personal with some of nature’s wildest animals – from red pandas to cheetahs, tigers and elephants. But everyone knows that the King of the Jungle is the fearsome lion.

These luxury lodges are designed to give you an “up-close and immersive overnight wildlife experience like no other.” There are four one-storey lodges to book, which can sleep up to six people, situated in the lions’ new habitat. Both the bedrooms and living quarters feature giant windows that provide panoramic views of the enclosure. So you don’t miss a single bit of the action and help you sleep with one eye open.

This unique experience will let eat, sleep and relax while the park’s four male lions play and explore their new home. The four brothers – all born at the attraction in the summer of 2019 – are called Havoc, Hodge, Harabi and Hercules. You’ll get to know them quite well during this unique stay. (Havoc has the darkest fur in the group!)

While you’re staying with this magnificent pride, you’ll have access to all of West Midland Safari Park’s other attractions too. This includes the Adventure Theme Park , which is full of thrilling rides; the African Walking Trail that lets you stroll up to elephants, giraffes and white rhinos; and a visit to one of the rarest big cats in the world, the Sumatran tiger in the Tiger Tropics .

West Midland Safari Park Lodges: The luxurious African-style experience for a fraction of the price

You don't have to go far to enjoy a high-end safari holiday stay - west midland safari park in bewdley has everything you need.

West Midland Safari Park (WMSP) in Bewdley, Worcestershire, took the plunge into offering the full overnight experience in April 2021 when they opened their elephant and cheetah-themed safari lodges overlooking the animal enclosures. The site is now home to 22 lodges in total, with a further four Lion lodges due to open in July.

Set up to mimic a luxurious African safari experience, interiors are heavy with animal print and high-end fixtures and fittings including freestanding baths, spiral staircases and huge windows – with balconies on both floors – from which to view the wild animals.

The safari park itself recently won Large Visitor Attraction of the Year at the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards 2023.

Bewdley At Dusk

WMSP is found on the outskirts of the Georgian town of Bewdley. The nearest mainline train station is Kidderminster, which is around one hour by train from Birmingham. Buses from Kidderminster to Bewdley (125, 8, 292) take about 20 minutes but ideally you’re going to need a car for the safari aspect of your stay – although bus tours can be booked in advance.

In true safari style , you can’t drive up to the lodges themselves – instead you leave your vehicle in the reception car park and wait for a Land Rover to collect you and take you and your luggage over. When it’s time to check out, someone comes and collects your luggage and stores it safely in reception until you’re ready to leave.

Accommodation

We stayed in a Rhino Lodge which sleeps up to six people and overlooks – yep, you guessed it – the rhinoceros enclosure. Very careful attention to detail has been paid with intricate rhino head hooks on the back of the doors and a large leather rhino in the main living space. Considering their size, the rhinoceroses themselves were surprisingly aloof but when they finally came rushing into view just before the sun set, it was utterly magical ( I may have cried a little).

My daughter loved what staff call the Harry Potter bed – a sort of hole in the wall that opens out into a little hideaway with double mattress. Upstairs were two stunning double bedrooms, the master with a standalone bath at the bottom of the king-size bed and a wall of salt lamps.

The downstairs balcony had a huge hanging egg chair in which you can sit, sip a drink and watch the animals in their element. From Rhino Lodge you can also (just about) see the lion enclosure and, out the back window, the giraffes so we were well placed for wild game spotting.

Once it went dark, we could no longer see who was outside our floor-to-ceiling windows but you could hear the lions roaring all night long – which made for a very authentic safari experience (albeit one filled with eventful dreams!).

Food and drink

Breakfast and dinner is included in all overnight packages – you are sent a link to the menu to pre-order and then the food is delivered to your room at the time you have requested. Dinner arrives hot and ready to eat – we had chicken burgers and chips while our daughter got a huge portion of macaroni cheese and vegetables.

Desserts are ready and waiting for you in your fridge on arrival and breakfast is left cold outside your door in the mornings so as not to disturb you. The cooked breakfast is designed to be heated in the microwave, while there is a toaster for warming your bread and croissants if you’ve chosen the continental option.

Because you’ve left your car and the park itself closes after 5pm, there isn’t really scope to eat anywhere else. And while there is a kitchen in the accommodation, there is no stove so if you want to bring your own snacks make sure you can prepare them with a kettle, toaster and microwave. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk are provided – as is (appropriately themed) crockery.

Make the most of your high-end lodge by checking in as soon as you can – they will tell you on arrival what time you can get a Land Rover across. The ambience is luxurious and the views are not available anywhere else in the UK so pack a bottle of fizz and bag yourself a spot on the balcony.

A visit to the safari park is obviously a must, and access is included for the duration of your stay so you can go on both check-in and check-out day – they even throw in a box of animal feed. Just carefully read the rules around who to give it to first!

Overnight guests also get access to an exclusive sea lion show before the park opens in the morning. You can walk from the lodges to the park – part of which is accessible on foot – so leave your luggage to be collected and head straight to the show. From there, you can walk back to the car park to retrieve your car and do the main safari. Wristbands so you can ride the theme park attractions for no extra cost are also included in the price of your stay.

Away from the safari park, Bewdley itself is a worth a visit with lovely river walks, cute cafes and cosy pubs aplenty.
