The eight lodges have been integrated into the newly-updated animal habitats at the Bewdley attraction – overlooking the cheetahs and African elephants.

They have been designed to give guests an immersive overnight wildlife experience, says the park.

Six of the lodges offer the only overnight accommodation experience with elephants in the country, while two more lodges offer views of the park's cheetahs – also the only experience of its kind in the nation.

The double-storey elephant lodges are authentically themed with thatched roofs, accommodating up to five people. They have large, open-plan living spaces with a lounge, dining area and kitchenette. The balcony with outdoor seating offers views to watch the elephants – Latabe, Five and Sutton – as they approach the pool in front of the lodges.
