Where giraffes and zebras roam on your doorstep

Guests visitng The Reserve are expected to spend more than £10m a year.

t actually feels like we could be in Africa'... the littlest member of our family turns to me with a smile as we soak up the extraordinary atmosphere of a brand new British experience.

The Reserve at Chester Zoo is, well you can guess where it is from the name. But we had glorious moments during our stay which truly felt like we had been transported to a continent where big animals roam freely.

We spent two nights in the most luxurious accommodation, feasting on delicious food, sipping amazing cocktails with giraffes and zebras as our neighbours. This might sound a little bit too good to be true but the team at Chester Zoo have created a place to stay which is unlike anything else you can experience in the UK.
