To celebrate the opening of the new Bear Lodge restaurant at Port Lympne, we’re giving one lucky winner a luxury getaway at Kent’s biggest nature reserve.
You and up to four guests can visit the reserve, nestled in Hythe, for an overnight stay in one of the glamping tents at Bear Lodge.
The area boasts a private entrance, a family play area and spectacular views of the bear enclosure and the beautiful reserve.
During your stay, you and your guests can also hop on board one of Port Lympne’s iconic safari trucks which will take you on an adventure across the Kentish savannah.
This is where you can get up close and personal with breathtaking animals such as zebras and giraffes.
When you get hungry after your day of exploring, you can tuck into a delicious meal at the newly-opened Bear Lodge restaurant for up to five people.

Head Chef Suresh has created an authentic curry night menu for Friday evenings, from sharing starter dishes to classics such as Butter Masala, Bhuna and Dupiaza.
