Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve to open Leopard Creek

New luxury accommodation neighbours critically endangered Amur leopards and two white rhinos

The new addition is the 14th accommodation to be unveiled at the award-winning, 600-acre Kent reserve and will open to guests on 4th July 2020.

Leopard Creek will be nestled within a tranquil corner of the Reserve. Guests will be able to enjoy 24-hour viewing of their neighbours; a pair of critically endangered Amur leopards and two white rhinos. The experience is completed by landscaped gardens and sweeping views across the Kentish savannah and out to sea.

Leopard Creek offers guests a unique experience in stunning accommodation, suitable for all seasons and occasions. There are three choices of accommodation on offer: two romantic cosy cubs, for couples only, three stylish larger cabins, suitable for two adults & two children under 12, or two luxurious four-person wigwams, with prices starting from just £530 per night.

What’s more, all profits from guests staying overnight go directly back into the conservation work of the Aspinall Foundation, so guests can enjoy their stay, knowing their stay means more and they are positively impacting the lives of these beautiful animals.

The centrepiece of Leopard Creek will be two 7m tall wigwams. These lavishly appointed structures will accommodate up to two adults and two children, prices start from £780 a night. Five shepherds hut-style cabins will offer flexible accommodation for two to four people.

Designed by Victoria Aspinall, who is creatively responsible for the sought-after Lion and Tiger Lodges, Leopard Creek will join a roster of spectacular accommodation available at the reserve.  

Guests have the option to book private ranger guided safaris or once in a lifetime animal encounters throughout their stay.
