How do ZSL London Zoo lodges look like
The ZSL London Zoo lodges are situated in the heart of the Zoo, in the Lands of Lions exhibit.
The lodges are wooden-fenced and surrounded by lush green vegetation, so you’ll breathe fresh air every time you peek out of your window.
The design of the lodges is inspired by the Asiatic lions’ native home- Gir Forest.
The lion-themed hotel rooms make you feel closer to the wildlife throughout your stay.
