" ... because we are not swingers."
😂
He says but always sizes the showers up 😉 we know what truly is going on 😂
Loved that lol, made me laugh!
It's such a funny 4th wall break
I didn’t hear you say how many people would fit in the shower
Haha🤣🤣 I completely loved and got the humour. He's so uplifting.
As a Kenyan I'm proud to see great hotels and restaurants named after locations in our country
Peter I MISS Kenya so much. I lived in Mombasa back in the '80s.
Peter don't you think this fake safari is counterintuitive to wildlife conservation in Kenya?
Kenya is a model for Africa.
@@hahaflavian785 I am not Kenyan, I am South African. I only watched little bit parts of the video.
@@RedNightDragon1In what way? I am a South African, and I am asking in a spirit of unity. 🤝 🤝 We can all learn from each other.😊😊
Hi Tim you are my favourite UA-camr, I love how you travel the world, travelling around the world is what I want so do when I’m older, you are such an inspiration to me.
It's a testament to Casper's parents how happy and smiley he always appears in these videos! So cute! 🎉😊
Hey Tim , love all your videos. I'm a kitchen fitter, and there is a small bungalow by the reptile house, apparently the original land owner's house. I Fitted the kitchen in that bungalow about 12 years ago now, my brother who worked for me was constantly disappearing going to look at the animals, should have taken me 3 days but had to add another day on due to my brother keep disappearing LOL. But at least my entrance was free 😊
Love living near this I can hear the lions roar in the evening and morning ❤
I too live near the Safari park 😊I can too hear the lions roar👍
So cool 😎👍
Saves money on an alarm clock. And I'm guessing that if you ever hear them and they sound like they're at the bottom of the garden you'd get a damn good work out running to the neighbours so they're nearer the big eaty thing than you are
😂😂😂
My husband and I were talking about how the Cheetah one would be the most boring because cats like to hide. 2 seconds later you said "There's cheetahs here, can't see them though." We both laughed so hard haha!
I stayed at the Cheetah lodge last year and it was brilliant - they didn't move away from our window throughout our stay! Got some amazing photos. I understand why people would pick giraffes and elephants over the cheetahs however I've heard people have stayed in these lodges and only seen the animal once or twice during their visit. The lodges tend to be more expensive too 😀
Wow those animals so close look amazing. It’s odd isn’t how the automatic reaction is to pull hand away when they get closer though. I’d be the same. Loved the giraffes such graceful animals.
14:45 that automist thing is a smart sprinkler system. Instead of flooding the whole room like traditional sprinklers it can detect the location of a fire and spray a fine mist at it. It is quicker and uses a lot less water, thus reducing damage to the room.
That is a great idea!
Glad to know. I was about to google it myself lol
but why do you need a button?
@@gez9978 it’s not a button. That swiveling part contains a nozzle that aims at the fire once one is detected.
This looks like a great experience, I'd much rather spend 700-800 on this than over a grand to stay in some fancy hotel filled with uppity types.
Can have a week in Spain for that!
Dont think casper is bothered with the animals..he would rather have his device
Take a drink every time Tim says “gutted”. 😂 🍻🥂.
Or look at*****
Or crazy… hangover on the way
or 'bit of a shame'
You'd be pissed mate...it's like watching a bond film and taking a shot everytime your hear bond
Or "This is HUUUGGEE!"
I would absolutely love to go there. What a special and unique place. On a side note: I'm disabled and it looks quite handicapped accessible. Its hard to find places that are like that with enough space to move around. Kudos to them!
Tim's wife's humor is the best. I cracked when he mentioned he would like a hot tub while watching the elephants and she said they could jump in a pond haha
Looks great my only gripe is check in at 3pm is too late and checkout at 10am is to early, great work Tim.
I know that’s so irritating and short
Yes and not giving they Prosecco as Complimentary..is very cheap..
I look back on all the stuff we did when our son was little. He remembers none of it and it was mainly me kind of enjoying it plus oodles of stress from dragging a baby/toddler around with the multiple bags, snacks, toys etc etc 😂.
We didn’t have tablets to distract them as well. I think it would have helped a bit.
It’s knackering 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂.
I think common mistake parents make when the children are under 5 (depending on child)but they are not interested in what the adults think they are or should be interested in. Its parents having to adapt to the new situation of being a couple without children then embarking on family life. Keep it simple and save money and be stress free.
Outing Parenting 101. Always lift them over an enclosures railings at a zoo or park and dunk them in the lazy river at an amusement/ theme park. If you don't introduce some trauma they will have flashbacks for into their 30s then you're on the road to failure.
(( I shouldn't have to say this but. DON'T do any of that. in fact if you're a parent, you read that and thought. "Oh he's got a point there". Maybe ask a close relative if they fancy looking after the littles ones, for the next 15 years or so))
Omg i love Caspers hair and he is just pure joy!!
So happy for you and Gaby!
South African living in the UK here. Really impressed with the attention to detail there, only thing missing is some drums/dancing around a big fire pit.
I would've picked the Elephant 🐘 Room too🩶 What an amazing place to stay!! You're just out here living the dream Tim😊
Yeah but the only problem, elephants are not fit to stay in European winter
Loved the emphasis " we are not swingeŕs " comedy gold Tim was laughing my arse off 😂😂
Its so nice that im from america and to be able to commincate with people around the world. Amazing!
Same with me Janette I am from Kentucky and to speak with people so far away is amazing. Nice to meet another American who love Tim and Gaby and their family. 🇺🇸
They are very friendly and down to earth. I really appreciate their videos. HL from Detroit.❤
🎉My very best wishes from Germany! 😊🎉
I love this to . I'm in the UK and I love to chat with people from around the world ❤. Xxx
Oh relax…we didn’t ask where you are from…Americans are always oversharing their location like the world wants to know and share their state with the assumption the worldwide audience knows US state abbreviations..can you imagine everyone around the world doing that on UA-cam?…Do you for example know any state in Australia? I bet not... I bet you don’t even have a passport. Tim and Gabby are from the UK, not the Moon. 😂
Worth every penny imo. The lodge was sensational and the animals up close and personal was the icing on the cake!
21:38 Gaby with her simple suggestion proving to the world what makes a perfect partner. The thought of thinking of others and to save some time. Lots of love to you both
I agree with these two are so well balanced together.
Hi Tim! I'm a staff member who works for the food and beverage team at WMSP. I thought I'd clarify some things from your vid:
1. Some of our more expensive lodges (rhinos and lions I think) do actually come with hot tubs.
2. Admission and theme park prices don't go up in the holidays and are actually the same all year round. That being said, per adult it is £25 entry and £15 theme park entry so you and gabby saved £80 altogether.
3. You may not have known when you went but you get a 20% discount in all shops around the park with your wrist band.
Glad you enjoyed your stay with us, annoyed I didn't have a shift when you were visiting :)
£777 for cold food in a jar though? 😬
@KrisKk08 it sounds terrible but it's actually really good food. It's the only way we could realistically do food for the lodges.
another video coming from Tim! I was Shocked!
Wait till u see the video, u will see why
We stayed at one of the Elephant lodges last year....it was FANTASTIC. The bed was lovely and comfortable, with luxurious cotton sheets and the experience of watching 'our' elephant and her son was beautiful! The only thing that let it down was the food. Very small portions and we had to heat it up in the microwave.....so we couldn't eat together. We were glad we stocked up in Greggs on the way up! I would definitely visit again though 🥰
OMG! I literally live at the back of the Safari Park - Burlish Park in Stourport-On-Severn. There's nothing quite like waking up to the sound of lions and elephants! 😂
I just Googled how many hours a day Elephants eat. 16-18 hrs. So great choice to be in Tsavo lodge & have the feeding station nearby. Can't imagine having a cuppa while watching Elephants munching. Unreal? WOWZEE, Tim.❤🐘🐘🐘
Yay this is brilliant! I had no idea these places existed in the UK. The lodges are lovely. You’re always doing something different Tim well done! Casper is the sweetest❤
777 quid is a bit too much if you ask me. For that price you should get a chef who comes and cooks in your accommodation
What a great experience, and impressive shower capacity.
That was an amazing video, like always, Tim! Fabulous experience ! I think it really was worth the money!
Hello Tim. Good to see u again with Gabby
Way better stay than at any of the 4 & 5 star luxury hotels. This is the bomb!
All ready to watch you Tim ... looking forward to seeing this 😀
Gabby's got it backwards, elephant sounds are used to create dino sounds, that's why they sound similar
Loved this video!What a fun place!Tim & Gabby are so down to earth & fun;they always make me laugh & smile.Caspar will appreciate it more in a couple years but so nice to see you both having fun!
OMG!!I didn’t know we have this in England I must visit this place thank you Tim ❤️❤️❤️…
Please just plan an African safari... A real one
@@hahaflavian785 And you will pay for it?
Real key to enter. Refreshing!
What a life you have...
Holiday to another holiday can't be bad...
Thanks for the video
"I'll put this over your cheeks" says Tim with a schoolboy chortle. It was hilarious 😂.
Great to see a review of a place that's in my home county and only 15 miles from where I live. The lodge looked epic!
I've never seen anything like this. I love it. Casper was so cute running around. Love the thumbnail.
Wow, that balcony view is AMAZING! What a cool concept.
Great video Tim always nice to see the family together. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you went here Tim, it's a personal favourite of mine. I visited the lion lodge a few months ago and it was something I will remember for the rest of my life. Not cheap but the experience is well worth it.
Wow already looks fabulous!
Love all your videos Tim - and even better when you are with your family. Your natural honest reactions are relatable… makes it such fun to watch
Tim keep doing what you’re doing! Really makes my day seeing that you have uploaded another video! You do it in such a natural way it feels like we are there! Thank you for the content 🙌🏻👌🏻
Something I absolutely love about these videos is this little thing that just makes me smile every time Tim says it....when he sees something and he says "Look at that!!!". Might seem like a small thing but I just love it and get a big smile. :D
Thanks Cathy
Hahaha, I love when he says "come on!"
@@louiseanderson1505 yes!!! that too!!!! :)
Excellent presentation as always.
So very interesting, ooutstandingly well done indeed too. Duck and Elephant at the same time and space, wonderful. Nice Sadari Lodge!
thanks Chris

Hi Tim and Gabby. A great insight into the West Midlands Safari Park. I live 5 mins away from the Park. I knew they had been building lodges there over the last few years. In fact I have done electrical work there. Anyway great to see what's been happening there. You had a fantastic view indeed!. Brilliant video. All the best.
The interaction with Animals trully a magnificent sight to behold. I love the adventure and seeing a smile from Casper when gabby feed the animals was a delight to see. Great adventure & Another Awesome trip for a family, it is a very expensive one but definitely a place like that is a dream, even if your not in Africa, Amazing job Tim!! ❤💯
Looking forward to this Tim and thankyou for what you do.All your videos are amazing and very interesting.
Thanks, Brian , You are very welcome
Brilliant video... your a lovely family, loved when you drove through the park...giggles👱♀️
I was looking forward to watching another one of your great adventures. This was so enjoyable and different. Fantastic video and lovely family😊
G'Day Tim your interesting, fun videos are getting better and better, thank you for sharing I always look forward to watching x
Who else started singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"? 🦁
thankyou so much Tim for doing the lodges .I wanted to do 1 for my 50th birthday but thought it was expensive expensive but
Love your video's Tim especially with Gabby and Casper. Keep them coming mate
Absolutely incredible video, I am truly impressed!
Wow that livestream of the animals is so cool
What a brilliant place to visit, didn’t even realise that we had these places in the uk 🇬🇧
BEST VIDEO YET! Had me smiling ear to ear.
G'day Tim. Great video, looked a wonderful place to visit and stay overnight. Thanks for taking us along.
Great video, I really loved the safari lodge.
I LOVE Gabby and Casper...Casper has his mama's bright happy smile.
Good to see you all stay at this Luxury Safari Lodge what looked really good and something different too , great review as always Tim 👍
"look I can see a pigeon!" LOL! I am in envy of this one. Elephants are my favourite animals. Casper is such a cutie, all smiles all the time. Based on what I saw, I would stay there for a night. You had no complaints at all about the food or lodging, it includes a lot and all good stuff. Thanks for this.
That looks like a enjoyable place to stay Tim. Somewhat surprised you didn't decide to don a Tarzan type loincloth for your stay.
Next time!
😅😅😅
Another great video Tim Gaby & Casper. You're taking us to some fantastic places and hotels Tim.
Looks like a good time away and the food looked pretty good as well. Thanks for the video, bless
Hi Tim and Gabby, there’s an elephant orphanage in Kenya called Tsavo run by the Sheldrick Trust, opened many years ago by Dame Daphnia Sheldrick and her husband. 🐘🦣
I loved this adventure, Tim and Gaby!! Who would’ve thought that was in the UK! I love that you brought Casper too … He is such a sweet little boy and so well-behaved all the time. You both are excellent parents… So loving and patient not only with your children, but to each other as well!🤍
Wow Gorgeous room
I must say you both make great travel advisors , I just love watching and expirencing things with you guys . Much luv from Canada keep up the great work❤❤😊
Great video Tim. Great escapism and attention to detail x
Loved the duck 🦆that photo bombed you guys while you were discussing the cost of lodgings
Amazing video as always, not sure how I feel about safari parks/zoos etc 🐘
Good review Tim but the safari idea i dont think it works in England - its well run and the lodges well appointed but the actual safari itself doesnt work that well. Its also pretty expensive. I think Gabby made an excellent point re the microwave situation for a number of people.
I really enjoyed this. What a great experience to have in England. Nice seeing you all together too.
For the price it should be at least a two night stay, but I understand the lodges are in high demand. I'd never pay that for a single night though
Well, he gets shocked every where he stays 😂
It means he’s a very positive guy and has a lot of fun in his life.
it's not like he's staying at a motel 6 by an interstate, every hotel is extremely unique
That was brilliant,thanks tim and gabby,.
I am watching from Cape Breton Island,Canada..I have been bingewatching all you vlogs and Gabbys too..I love when Gabby and Casper are in the vlogs..
Spoken to a friend who works at WMSP guest services & bookings have rocketed in the last 24 hrs Tim. Your review has certainly gotten out there.
As for your next stay, I'd love to see you stay at a Forest Holidays resort, Sherwood Forest or somewhere similar.
Really looking forward to this Tim. Me and the wife were planning to stay there with out little ones so eager to see what you make of it.
its an amazing experience!
Love this video and your room was amazing with a great view yes it is worth the money! Love seeing Gaby and Casper.
Great for families with children & thanks for sharing Tim , Gabby & Casper 🤗👍🐘
I would like you to find out about...
The Tenacious JST tall ship.
A disabled fitted out tall ship, @ save Tenacious.
Thank you Tim.
I shocked this video, I WAS WATCHED!
Did you see the steam train running past the safari Park? The Severn Valley Railway runs right next door 😊
Also it looks like those giraffes were actually mildly arguing with each other. Two giraffes fully fighting each other is not a pretty sight!
Morning Tim, Gabby and Casper. Again another great watch, nice start to bank holiday Monday. 👍
Oh I’m so looking forward to this episode!!! I’ve set a timer and everything- it’s always nice to hear from you Tim. The work you always put out is beyond stunning 😁👍
Awesome! Thank you!
The Mystery automist switch is a fire suppression system.
It spins around and reveals a scanner that looks for fires and then sprays a mist at it.
From where?
Oh, interesting, I wondered if it was a dehumidifier system. Thanks for clearing that up for the most part!
Hi Tim,
Your videos are amazing you've help me thru a tough time lately..losing myself in your videos takes my mind of things ..thank you so much
Très beau reportage, bravo ….vous êtes charmants et Casper est un amour !!!❤️
Rockingham-forest - with a hot tub - Incredible place. But don't tell anyone, it is our oasis.
Loved Rockingham Forest
We been there twice but alas the bubble burst
Having to drive an hour away in different directions for thing to do with 3 teenagers was the last straw
Great park tho
The giraffes were young ones, practicing fighting Tim. They headbut one another, there are plenty videos on UA-cam of them "having a go"!
Loved this vlog Tim, something different,the food looked yummy,loved seeing the animals,Gabys scream bless her, loved it thanks, see you soon 😊xxx🎉
What a unique hotel idea that feels like you have traveled much further than you really have. Excellent video! What a treat!
