Port Lympne Mansion Hotel

Our whole weekend visit was 10/10 even with Storm Burt blasting through. We stayed in the JuJu treehouse which was amazing and the bonus of a golf buggy saved our daughter from moaning about too much walking. The only negative of the treehouse was the steps leading up to it. They were very steep and uneven in places but we got used to them. The highlight of my stay was definitely the Ultimate Safari, especially when we got to feed the black rhinos and definitely a once in a lifetime experience that my family never forgot. Our daughter loved toasting marshmallows in the clubhouse and getting so close to her favourite animal, capybara.

Stayed at the Giraffe lodge and had the most amazing stay. People to arriving I had to change the date due to a death in the family, they were so kind to allow us to change the date! Service was simply amazing! We arrived and walked the grounds, looked so lovely and had weather on our side. The safari’s were great. Being so close to the giraffe’s as well. The tent was nice and exactly how we pictured it to be. We slept well. The food was decent, although would have preferred a little more variety for dinner. Really enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend. Was expensive but we found it well worth it. The day after going on another safari was nice too.

Stayed for 3 nights in December Treetop Bubble - - We weren’t aware that it was essentially an inflatable room upon booking, so be aware that there is a fan running at all times to keep it inflated, even at night - It’s also very noisy, due to the fan and the busy road at the back of the bubble - It also is very light in the room even at night, so an eye mask is a must - If it’s windy the bubble shakes too In the day and evening, it’s very peaceful and has great views, just be aware of the lack of sleep! Food - We went in winter so there were only two restaurants open! The pizza place and garden room were great - it’s not a great place for someone with dietary requirements. - The food is pricey! We easily spent over £100 a day on food and drinks (Over £4 for a small glass bottle of coke!) The safari - We booked a safari and Ant was our guide, which we would highly recommend! - We also bought a “Meet the great apes” experience with Rick and it was awesome! Rick was great and so knowledgeable and was our favourite part of our trip We enjoyed our stay, just a couple of things to be aware of! The bubble was lovely, but book it with awareness!
