Ever wanted to play sleeping lions, for real? Now's your chance. London Zoo has built fancy little lodges where you can have a sleepover in (well, next to) the lion enclosure. It's not the cheapest way to walk on the wild side, but there are plenty of perks, including private guided tours, exclusive access to animal enclosures after hours, and a two-course dinner and buffet breakfast are included. Hakuna matata!
Time Out tip:
Also check out the zoo’s daily programme of talks which lets you hear from and speak to the zoo keepers as they look after the animals.
