An overnight safari lodge offering the sight of some typically African animals is to open in Kent. Set on 100 acres next to Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, near Hythe, Livingstone Lodge, which is raised up on plinths, overlooks a water hole and gives visitors the chance to see more than 500 animals, including black rhinos, wildebeest and giraffes. A booking includes a 90-minute safari of the main park, evening meal, and overnight accommodation. "This is Europe's only overnight safari lodge and has to be the answer to those suffering the credit crunch who'd love to visit the wilds of Africa," said a park spokeswoman.
