We stayed in a hotel with Lions in the room
We visit Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve, with on site rooms allowing you to get up close to some of their most incredible animals. Their Lion Lodge is located right alongside their Barbary lion enclosure, meaning that we got to have a clear view of these magnificent animals both from our bed and the bath!
In this video, we investigate how we feel about the animal encounters offered at places like this vs traditional zoos. We also get behind-the-scenes access at Port Lympne Reserve to learn more about the rare and endangered animals there and the conservation work they are doing with them.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years - from backpacking to vanlife:
2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!
2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.
2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.
2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can't quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!
What now?
Over the years, we've discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers - one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You'll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we'd recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.
Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

I'm all for places like this. Meeting the zoologists behind the running of these places makes me appreciate the need for them, and its massively important that we can home these endangered animals that just couldn't survive in the wild. Plus isn't it really cool to experience and learn about these beautiful animals that we share our planet with. They money the centre earns from quests staying genuinely goes to the care of the animals which is great to see

Fun story. My boyfriend and I were camping near Niagara Falls and were awakened in the middle of the night by that same sound. Assuming it must be a bear since lions aren’t indigenous to the US, needless to say we were terrified. We expected to find numerous tents shredded to pieces when we woke up. We were surprised to see everything seemed unscathed. Come to find out, there was a zoo near by and what we heard were the lions at the zoo. I have never been so terrified in my life. I feel like they should have warned campers. People could have had heart attacks. I almost did. That said, I would loved to have stayed at this place.

The 'theory' that 'wild' animals could 'not' survive in the wild (their 'natural' environment) is down to 2 things. Man poaching/greed, and the mental conditioning of individuals who believe that zoos should be open to the public, opposed to being closed and used strictly for breeding, conservation purposes only. We need to stop using that 'tired' old parental excuse, of zoos are for child education and how will they be funded if not open to the public gawk. Well simple. From a child's education perspective ....read them a book or expose them to animal educational documentaries...take them on a safari!. Has for the zoo organisations and funding. Well with all the money that government waste along with the blah, blah, blah about saving and protecting the environment etc, lets not fool 'ourselves into thinking they cant afford it and the easiest excuse is to keep these 'gold fish bowls' open for the public. An example of keeping wild animals in an 'unnatural' environment would the Monterey Bay aquarium. This was the only place in the world to house a great white shark but 'chose' not to anymore. Why?... because of the high death rate of the shark (which had also 'historically' failed in other aquariums all over the world) 'not' being in its 'natural' environment.

@@jcs3330 Put your soapbox away 99% of adults are quite capable of learning and understanding about animals etc without needing you to educate us. Fact is not being able to survive in the wild is complicated can you guarantee a captive bred animal has not onlu survival skills needed to feed themselves but also the latent skills to be a parent and teach their offspring to survive too. On top there is of course the manmade issues it's more a case of an animal being able to survive being around man than being able to survive the wild of course. Plus there's climate change where said animal might have thrived before it now might no longer be capable

Guys, I really enjoyed this! What a blessing it was to be able to enjoy this experience with you! I think my takeaway is that I view this facility like I might for our long-term care facilities and hospitals. Certainly, it’s sad that people need the care and treatment provided at those places. However, imagine our lives without them. While there are long-term care facilities and hospitals, we’d never want our loved ones to set foot in, we’ve probably heard or seen similar for animals. Fortunately, this place appears to be one of the really good ones! They appear to be doing it right. Always love Mondays with you two! Stay safe guys! 💖💖💖

Listening and learning but able to keep my beliefs and opinions and not be judged. I love animals. I have a season pass at our local zoo and a place I feel safe as a senior to get my steps in. Fresh air and beautiful animals. Thanks for sharing guys truly a great experience. Also not far from here is an animal park that they room free and you drive through and feed the animals. This was amazing to go to after the little babies were born.
@costasworldofmusicmemories5792
Hey Emma and Alec. As a kid I worked at a zoo and helped take care of the animals. The zoo fostered an environment of protection and care and would find animal welfare organizations that would release animals into the wild . Call it a Sanctuary if you will. Rescue and Release is the way to go. I think it's important that you recognize those animals who can be released and thrive. Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve are doing good work. We have to be Good Shepherds in protecting our ecosystem. Thank you, Emma and Alec, for taking us there. Sending much love to all three of you😍😍😍 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.

What an experience (another) guys! I grew up close to port lympne and loved visiting as a child in the 70s. I haven't been back for over 30 yrs as I moved away. It's great to see it flourishing and what a wonderful idea to build the lodge. And the lions make such an incredible beautiful sound don't they? It really vibrates through you. It is criminal that places like this have to exist at all but the reality is that until humans change their behaviour towards wildlife they do. Port lympne have been doing amazing conservation work for such a long time. I'm delighted to hear they've had such positive results over the years. Traditional size/type of zoos have mostly died out in the UK thankfully and there are many smaller zoo parks doing amazing work. They've all struggled through lockdown and need us to visit and support them in their conservation work. They also provide excellent educational platforms to teach youngsters how important these issues are. 🙏 for the days these beautiful creatures all get to roam free in their homelands where they belong ❤️

But you are right - it is important to realize that our natural world has been buggered up *by us*, and rather than leaving these animals to die in horrible circumstances, at least offering them good care and the chance to keep their species alive is our responsibility.

Thank you so much for this video. I have always refused to visit a zoo because it breaks my heart to see God's creation locked up like slaves. You have opened my eyes to other side of the story. As did a friend of mine who is a volunteer driver at the aquarium. He too explained that many of the animals are in rehab and later get released back into the wild. Allowing the public to see them is a wonderful way to generate funds to keep the project moving forward. Not to say that there are many zoos that are nothing but prisons for animals. Thankfully places like this one are there to rescue as many as possible.

I really appreciate that you look beyond either end of the spectrum, examining the middle ground. I grew up in an era where orcas were just being recognised as being the amazing intelligent animals that they are, this was in part due to the exposure to them in aquariums. But life in captivity for these creatures was and is terrible, and is now so unnecessary and wrong. I am lucky to have seen them in the wild an experience thanks to spending time on the coast of British Columbia. I understand people wanting to go on whale watching tours but am wary of the impact on these whales, so like you I'm torn by animals in captivity for our entertainment.

Everything you both have said is exactly how I feel. I follow a group in Africa that find elephants dying from drought or orphans from poachers and they nurse them and get them ready for release into the wild. It's amazing watching them work. I always wonder, how many are going to survive the next poaching season or drought after they've been released though. But I'm happy they have a safe place to grow and get strong while they are there. But at the same time, to see how many animals CAN'T be taken back into the wild is very sad. I saw that there are Zoo's that have a program where they're now doing artificial insemination in some tigers on the brink of extinction because their numbers are so few, that finding a non-related mate (so they can avoid health issues) has become an issue, especially if the female and male won't accept each other, which could lead one to killing the other... Things you just don't think about! I guess in that case, the first priority is getting the numbers up, second is teaching them how to be wild again?? I wish there were easy answers when it comes to this stuff. But as you said, it's not black and white and so much to think about and at least the people running these programs are doing something.

My grandparents used to live near Port Lympne and so we used to hear the animals all the time whilst sitting in the garden. I haven't been back there for a long time and I had forgotten how lovely it is. Love watching your videos xx

I am guessing they are using one way glass or that is animal cruelty inflicting Alex in the nuddie in the morning ;) Have to agree my view is very similar but unfortunately we do not live in anything close to a ideal world. Also a well run animal experiences can breed a love for animals in our children helping a new generation who hopefully support the flora and fauna on our planet!

It is very expensive, but look at it as more helping with the cost of running the place. There are hotels out there charging that much just for a room, this has so much more.

I suppose they have to generate income to help with the running costs...If there were a group of 4 then it may be manageable, it is a unique experience.

What a unique experience! So glad you got to see them so close. They are such majestic animals, aren’t they? Years ago , my friends had a mountain lion named Brutus. They acquired him as a cub. I got to know him then, and was fortunate enough to be there as he grew into an adult. He was wonderful. I’d play frisbee with him in the yard, along with their black labrador. They’d bring him to my apartment occasionally, as well. He knew to use the tub for a “litter box”, if you will. Finally, the city made them find a new home for him. They brought him to see me on the way to the airport. He was going to a sanctuary in California. I cried so hard. I hugged him tightly, & he nuzzled my face. He knew he was going somewhere, I think. It was the hardest goodbye. My entire experience with him was magical. I remember it so fondly, & know how fortunate I am to have had that time with him. Of course, I don’t condone any of this, but it’s what it was. I agree with you both, that we shouldn’t have exotic animals in captivity, save for rehabilitation, or saving the species. I joke now that if I were ever to have an encounter, my dumb ass would be there like, “here kitty, kitty”. Again, I’m happy for you to have, & share, your experience. It’s very special. Perhaps one day you can share it with your little one soon on the way! I can’t believe how you’ve spent your entire pregnancy. What a trooper you are, Emma! Best wishes for a safe delivery. 👶🏼💕✌🏻

The reason I like Yellowstone NP is that the animals aren't captive at all & you can still see them up close. This place you two stayed at seems pretty cool too, for what they do!

I can't wait for your lilman to be born so we can see him. I'm a father of two and can tell you it is a God send. Keep having fun and it was a great thing you found help with your burnout. God bless you and keep up the fantastic job you guys do.

I really appreciated hearing the guide tell about how they are trying to re-introduce the animals back into the wild as often as possible. Very interesting place! You guys always find such cool places! Emma, I do believe you must be due about the same time as my daughter. She's due April 11th and you two both look about the same size. It's so crazy seeing (and feeling) her belly move! Thanks for another great video, beans!

This is a great video. So much in life is a trade-off, and what they are doing at this reserve seems to strike the right balance for these animals. And to the extent that the human visitors/guests gain a new understanding of and appreciation for the animals also seems like a valuable outcome. Thanks for sharing your visit there.

What an experience you had and good questions you asked the guy in the car. I hope you are well and you are enjoying your growing belly Emma, smile,, Just I was young now and expecting a baby which is the greatest gift and joy you can feel, You Alex is the most beautiful man with such a bright soul.

Well, I came from a long line of rescue. Our family wildlife rescues for on shore and off shore. We do not want to keep animals and our mammals from returning home. But some we must to save their life, these decisions are not taken lightly. But the most important thing is the animals' well-being. I wished I could have been where you guys were, just amazing. There chuff just Pierce's your soul. Just loved it all the way around . Those animals there are well care for no doubt about it. Hug

This was amazing Emma and Alex, we love animals as much as you and feel the same. Port Lymphe do great work with conservation and care of the animals there. We have visited and it's amazing.
