Wow! What a wonderful way to spend our wedding anniversary. If you are thinking whether to spend the money or not then definitely do it.||Having time in the park after hours is amazing and a whole different atmosphere - we saw every single animal on the tour and absolutely loved it.||Claire, Lucy, Amy and Patrick were wonderful guides and had so much knowledge about the animals. We learnt a new fact about every single animal we saw. ||The lodges were comfortable and cosy. The only feedback we would give is that we ordered quite an expensive bottle of champagne for the room and no glasses provided - had to drink it out pf plastic cups - not a huge deal but it was expensive and plastic cups give it a different taste.||Food was also delicious. ||Absolutely memorable experience.

We stayed in Lookout Lodge to celebrate my 50th birthday. My husband was sceptical as to whether it would be any good. We were both blown away by the whole experience. You thought of everything. The tours were amazing, every member of staff and volunteer was so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and a really great quality, the lodges were quirky and really comfortable. All the staff supporting the tours were so knowledgeable, passionate about the animals and friendly. We spent the whole of the following day on site and we're so sorry to leave because we still hadn't seen everything. |What an amazing experience 🤩🦁🐯🐒

Had a wonderful time at Lookout Lodge. It was my wife's 60th birthday treat - my sister also rented a lodge and joined us.
Access was very straightforward and all the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
The experience is well thought-out. An hour before and after dinner - seeing about 3 different sets of animals each hour - timed so they'd be awake / active / eating.
In the morning another hour after breakfast
The food was great (dinner and breakfast) and the bed was comfy - slept well (animal noises weren't a problem)
Only tip - despite being warm during the day it was chilly at night (early April) so suggest taking something warm to throw on.
Thanks to Lauren, Laura , Hannah, Lucy, and Jo who took good care of us.

From the moment we arrived we were looked after and made to feel very welcome. The check-in process was really smooth and friendly, even though we arrived late, we were taken care of and made to feel welcome by Frankie. The lodges were small and simple, but perfect for the occasion. The beds were very comfortable and the lodges were clean.|The group tours were amazing, we were so lucky to have excellent, knowledgable guides who gave us information about each animal, which was entertaining and informative. Frankie, Jo, Amy and Claire were fantastic, we both enjoyed our visit and would love to return.

I got bought a voucher for my birthday. We loved our trip to Lookout Lodge, granted the weather was wonderful and we booked out of peak times. The zoo itself was great we loved that we could drive around and stop where we needed.|Lovely little Lodge, not there long enough to need more. Bed was needed after a long day and the heater provided was even kicked on for a hour for little extra warmth.|Food and service was fantastic, more than we expected.|The keepers talks were great and the walks after hours were fab! Even the animals cooperated and came out when we were there! |Toilet block was ideal, close and clean. Fresh water with the lodges and tea in the lodge (extra tea was provided when we asked)

I brought this experience for my friend's 60th Birthday - I can not express how much we enjoyed it. The animals were amazing, the staff were just the best and what a location to wake up to!||When the zoo is closed, you experience a different side of the zoo; there is a relaxed feel about the place. We had great weather, which meant most of the animals were out and about. The night walk was the best, followed by the early morning walk. We were lucky to see lions, cheetahs, rhinos, flamingos, otters, and bears playing (and this was just a few!) ||The staff were so lovely, the knowledge and passion were enviable, and we learnt so much about animal behaviour, habitat, and conservation. ||Was it value for money - YES |Anything we didn't like - NO ||An experience of a lifetime!!

This experience was so unique and interesting. Me and my partner learnt so many animal facts on the exclusive tours, especially from Laura. The lodge itself is a good size with a comfortable bed and sofa. The whole experience is also accessible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves animals.

Had been planning this trip for a while as a birthday present. Was a fantastic experience with lots to keep you busy for the duration of the stay. The staff really made this what it was, very knowledgeable and friendly, happy to answer any questions and give us the facts you didn't know about. The lodges themselves were pretty basic, but comfortable for what you needed for one night. The only disappointing thing about the lodge was they only had plastic cups and takeaway cups for tea/coffee, would have felt nicer with real glass. The tours really made the experience something completely different. The food was good but nothing special, it did what it needed to do.
Would highly recommend to gain an experience of a zoo when everyone else has gone home.
