A Winter Wildlife Escape in Kent

If you’re looking for a break that’s anything but ordinary, this is it. Right in the heart of Kent’s wildest corner, you’ll settle into a heated Elfwood glamping pod at Port Lympne Reserve, just steps from the lion enclosure. This isn’t just a night away—it’s your ticket to roaring adventure, magical light trails and family memories made around the fire.

What’s Included

• Overnight stay in an Elfwood glamping pod for up to four people (2 beds & double futon)
• Bedding, towels, heating and Wi-Fi included
• Admission to Port Lympne Reserve & Howletts Wild Animal Park for your entire stay (from 9:30am arrival day)
• Entry to the exclusive after-dark Illuminated Light Trail
• Access to festive clubhouse with Christmas films
• Free dedicated on-site parking
• Tea-making facilities in your pod (no cooking/BBQs)

The Glamping Pod Experience

Your pod sits in a private pine grove—opposite the lions—so you’ll wake up to wildlife sounds most people only hear on safari. Inside: snug bedding, proper heating for chilly nights, storage space for essentials and easy access to modern shared bathrooms. There’s Wi-Fi if you need it (but you might just switch off instead).

On-Site Facilities

• On-site restaurants and bar (meals at own expense)
• Children’s play area and games room with pool table and board games
• No pets allowed – this is a working wildlife reserve
• No cooking or BBQs permitted (tea/coffee provided)
• An accessible pod is available (subject to request/availability)

The Wildlife Adventure

You’re not just staying near the animals—you’ve got full access. Explore Port Lympne’s vast reserve (over 700 rare and endangered animals across 600 acres), then hop over to Howletts Wild Animal Park—home of gorillas, tigers and elephants. Both parks are run by The Aspinall Foundation and are leaders in conservation.

The Illuminated Light Trail

This is winter magic done right: as dusk falls, wander through dazzling light installations along the after-hours trail. Pick up marshmallows or gingerbread at festive stalls, join in an Elf Disco or simply soak up the atmosphere as the park transforms under twinkling lights.

Perfect For

• Families seeking something special during school holidays or Christmas break
• Groups celebrating birthdays or milestones with a twist
• Couples or friends who want nature—and a bit of adventure—with their festive cheer
