Inside new giraffe and rhino safari lodges where you can sleep next to animals

If you love animals, this experience will be perfect for you.

Images of the upcoming safari lodges in the UK where you can sleep next to the giraffes and rhinos have been revealed.

The new accommodation, which hopes to open next year, will welcome guests at the West Midlands Safari Park.

Planning permission for the lodges were confirmed last week with construction beginning for the two-story huts.

They will be built into the giraffe and rhino habitats, giving guests an unobstructed view of the animals.

The white rhino lodges sleeps four people and will be the only experience of its kind in the UK.

With an open-plan living space and balcony, who wouldn't want to stay here?

Two bedrooms and a bathroom will be located on the first floor, with the balcony providing panoramic views of the rhinos.

In the other lodges, guests will be able to come eye-to-eye with the park's eight giraffes.

The lodges include breakfast and dinner, as well as admission to the park for two days.

Booking for the new lodges hope to open by the end of the year with dates for 2022.

Managing Director, Chris Kelly said: "Alongside the new animal facilities, we will be installing eight new lodges.

"Four of which will offer spectacular views of the white rhinos.

"The other half bringing you face-to-face with our beautiful giraffes, from the second-story balconies.

"We're hoping that we have the same guest reaction for the new lodges as we had for our elephant and cheetah lodges."

The park recently opened its new red panda cottages which are already sold out for this year.

However, the park's most popular overnight breaks include their elephant and cheetah lodges.

Of the eight suites, six of the lodges are in the elephant park while two are close to the cheetahs.
