| On Wednesday lunch time we arrived at the Tiger Lodge and we finally got to fulfil our safari dream - but in Kent, who would have thought?! |
 |
| The lodge has two bedrooms withs super cosy beds, white crisp linens, slippers and bath robes. |
 |
A beautiful wooden cabin that reminded me of our loft apartment in the French Alps but with African themed decor.
|
 |
| The lodge has this huge decked veranda facing the English Channel from which you can even see France on a clear day |
 |
A giant wall of glass in both bedrooms, and behind them - two enormous, beautiful tigers.
|
 |
The gate as we arrived opened to up to our own golf cart, a beautifully planted garden, with breathtaking views
|
 |
The first day we did a private tiger feed. |
 |
| Tea time for the tigers! |
 |
| Fish fish and more fish |
 |
| What an experience to have a Siberian tiger stood on her legs demanding dinner! |
|
The private golf buggy was certainly an added attraction for all of us, and I loved to drive it!
The whole place isn’t just about luxury: it’s about learning about animals - an none of them are caged.
 |
| More electrifying than any iPad games (Fortnite) that's for sure. |
 |
| Sean about to throw this whole dead chicken over the fence to feed the lion. |
 |
| Another big cat encounter - fascinating to watch the hungry lion |
 |
Damian Aspinall’s foundation is sort of like Disneyland for animal lovers
|
 |
| Beer we go! |
 |
| One of the panoramic windows with triple reinforced glass |
Real wood fire and board games - again it reminded me of our Courchevel lodge.
 |
| The lodge came with a record player and we listened to Simon and Garfunkel and drank wine from the fully stocked mini bar. |
 |
| Cosy night in with a big meal, after a spending the day around the reserve. |
 |
| Morning coffee on the terrace with the stunning Kentish coast in the background. |
The camels made the kids laugh a lot
 |
| We counted nearly 40 baboons in their enclosure |
 |
| Other animals we saw were black rhinos, gorillas, bison, tapirs, zebras and ostriches. |
 |
| Here we're off to the Giraffe feeding |
Leaves but no sticks pls!
 |
| We all agreed on that 48 hours there was definitely not enough! |
 |
Even if you took the tigers away, it’s still one of the most incredible places we've been fortunate to stay in.
|
This fab experience really does appeal to all age groups
 |
| Cheetah feeding - We simply couldn't believe how brave Scarlett Grace was! |
 |
| Sleeping with tigers... |
 |
| .....and waking up with a "roar".. |
 |
| ...was undoubtedly the ultimate luxurious family getaway |
 |
 |
The tigers and the lodge simply stole our hearts - pricey, but an experience we’ll never forget!
