Actor Ashley Walters was on a rare weekend off from his Netflix series Top Boy. Together with the family, he spent some quality time at Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve – in Hythe, Kent. And he took to social media to share some glimpses of what would have been, as he described it, “a blessed weekend.”
Spacing out his weekend in the plush surroundings of the Tiger Lodge at a rate of £1,300 per night, Walters and his wife and children savoured the breathtaking splendor of the reserve. Such moments from the trip were captured in beautiful Instagram posts: feeding giraffes, seeing tigers up close, and searching the grounds. Dinner was also served in the Garden Room restaurant, thus setting their weekend of safari splendour in Kent’s most popular safari park.
In another one, Walters said, “A blessed weekend at one of our favorite places in Kent. If you haven’t been to Port Lympne yet, I don’t know what is wrong with you lol. The Tiger Lodge is a game changer!” In the post, his witty approval of the venue gave the fans an insight into the relaxed, fun family time.
The room Walters stayed in had exclusive and dramatic views of the tiger enclosure. Guests can get to see majestic animals in unique and very close proximity. It’s a feel that is uncommon, staying tight with wildlife yet luxuriating in opulence.
The reserve is established by the famous conservationist Damian Aspinall and has a target for the conservation and breeding of endangered species. There is an excellent choice of accommodations in the resort, but one of the most popular is The Tiger Lodge, where Walters stayed, offering truly magnificent views and opportunities for wildlife sightings in their natural environment. That is why it is very popular among nature fans and families who want something extra.
This is a warm response from the Port Lympne staff after an employee there posted the actor’s message. “Thanks for coming to see us. Hope to see you again soon,” Walters’ visit has further enhanced the reputation of the attraction that is not only known for wildlife conservation but also family-friendly. The reserve has been a tourist favourite over the years and more than many who come here for luxury combined with adventure.
Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve does not in any way resemble an ordinary getaway. It would be remembered as an unforgettable adventure by its 600 acres of grounds with over 900 wild animals such as rhinos, lions, and gorillas. The reserve boasts of a safari-like experience that brings guests face to face with the heart of nature. There is no comparison for an experience as extraordinary as that awaiting guests who stay at one of its luxury lodges.
Congratulations to Walter for this very flattering review of the reserve. This is, indeed, a great place, and that’s what many who visited can say according to their comments. Feeding giraffes and watching tigers from luxury accommodations absolutely guarantees a good level of excitement and calmness for families. The setting of the Garden Room where the Walters and their family could dine was highly famous for its local and seasonal menus, which gives any guest a taste of Kent’s best culinary offerings amidst breathtaking views of the reserve’s landscape.
In addition to raking up the awards, Walters can also be credited with knowing how to take a well-deserved break. His family trip to Port Lympne reflects a growing trend of celebrities desperate to get away to more private destinations in nature which are generally working towards conservation efforts. More attention will be drawn towards this popular reserve courtesy of Walters’ endorsement.
Whether it’s the attraction of interacting with animals, the luxurious accommodation, or just an opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones in such a stunning setting, the Port Lympne Reserve seems to have got the perfect cocktail of luxury and adventure. Walters’ glowing review does not detract one jot from the glamour of this unique Kent attraction.
And to those who see inspiration in this story of Walters, Port Lympne offers them a place where they can experience more unforgettable adventures while supporting a cause that is really much larger than the individual going out for adventure. In a sense, it acts like a model wherein tourist ventures and conservation efforts go hand-in-hand, providing tourists with an exciting wildlife encounter and world-class comfort at the same time.
