Has anyone stayed overnight at Port Lympne Wildlife park?

Was it worth the money? Which type of accommodation did you choose, and what time of year did you go?

Any information/hints or tips gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Twice. First time was glamping in May and was really good. In the evenings we went into the park after it had closed and fed the animals. Was really good.

Second time - tiger lodge. Amazing experience but stupidly booked in October half term so was dark really early. No evening activities and by the time we had checked in and then gone out for some food it was dark. Was quite scary as they banged against the windows in the night (or may have been a dream I don’t know!!) it was incredible though as they fed the tigers right outside the room.

We stayed at the hotel. Was a fabulous 2 days. We had a buggy-thing, the breakfast was amazing and the surroundings were fantastic.

We stayed at the wolf cottage and loved it, then went back a year later and stayed at Tiger Lodge. Stupid amount of money but absolutely incredible and worth every penny. We have amazing photographs of the tigers up against the glass with us on the other side, something we’ll never forget.
We did a few different feeding experiences but didn’t pay full price for those, someone said don’t book them in advance and just ask on the day, if they haven’t sold enough you’ll get them at a discount.
Both visits May/ June time

Thanks so much for the replies and info, especially about not booking once the evening get darker earlier @Linguist1979 ,because that wouldn't have been something I'd have thought about either!

We did as a 50th birthday celebration.

We stayed in one of the tree houses. It was very nice. It wasn't actually a house in a tree but was a house very high up the hill in the park surrounded by trees - I probably would have known that if I'd read the description properly. We looked out on to our very own Rhino.

It was a very memorable experience. The golf buggy time was great - it's at a set time after the park closure and in the morning before opening so that the paths aren't full of visitors. I loved the marshmallow toasting too.

We booked for the restaurant in the evening. It was OK. Not fabulous but ok. Expensive and spoilt a bit by an incredibly noisy family with lots of young kids being rather boisterous in the restaurant even quite late into the evening. I think we just got a bit unlucky there though. They drive you back to your accommodation in a golf buggy after your meal which is a nice touch.

I have seen some deals on Groupon/Virgin Experiences etc since we did our stay. We booked direct but I would definitely search for some price deals if I was booking again.
