Parc Zoo du Reynou: sleep facing wolves or African wildlife
Choose the animal experience first. Akela, Fenrir and Slava lodges face European wolves. The six African lodges overlook a shared plain with giraffes, Cape eland, Watusi cattle, ostriches, scimitar-horned oryx and lechwe. Animals move freely, and giraffes are brought indoors before the zoo closes, so no species can be guaranteed at every moment.
Choose wolves or the African plain, then compare lodge size
Every lodge stay currently includes a two-day zoo pass, breakfast, prepared beds, bed linen, towels, a private washroom, kitchenette equipment, a terrace and free parking. Dinner and resident activities are optional.
Which animals can you observe from each lodge?
The lodge name determines the habitat, not just the room layout. The official pages distinguish three European-wolf lodges from six lodges around the African plain.
| Lodge category | Capacity and setting | Animals visible from the accommodation |
|---|---|---|
| Akela, Fenrir and Slava | Up to 4 guests · panoramic wolf view · private terrace with heated Nordic bath. | European wolves. Each lodge faces the wolves’ territory through a large viewing area. |
| Africa Lodge with Nordic bath | 4 to 16 guests · six bedrooms · large terrace and Nordic bath. | African-plain outlook with giraffes, Cape eland, Watusi cattle, ostriches and scimitar-horned oryx listed on the lodge page. |
| Africa Lodge | 4 to 8 guests · three bedrooms · terrace. | African-plain outlook with giraffes, Cape eland, Watusi cattle, ostriches and scimitar-horned oryx listed on the lodge page. |
| Safari Lodge and Savana Lodge | Up to 6 guests · raised terrace · two sleeping rooms. | Giraffes, ostriches and Watusi cattle; the Savana page also names lechwe, while the wider plain includes Cape eland and scimitar-horned oryx. |
| Cosy Lodge | Up to 4 guests · terrace · walk-in shower. | Giraffes, lechwe, Watusi cattle and Cape eland are named on the official lodge page. |
| Tanganika Lodge | Up to 4 guests · terrace · reduced-mobility layout and adapted shower. | Giraffes, ostriches, scimitar-horned oryx and Cape eland are named on the official lodge page. |

How to choose your Reynou lodge
Akela, Fenrir or Slava
Choose this family for the closest wolf-focused stay. The three categories share a four-person layout, panoramic habitat view, kitchenette, private washroom and terrace with a heated Nordic bath.
Africa Lodge with Nordic bath
Choose the largest lodge for an extended family or group. It has six bedrooms, a broad African-plain outlook and a private Nordic bath.
Africa, Safari or Savana
These lodges suit families wanting giraffes and mixed African wildlife. Africa Lodge offers the larger indoor capacity, while Safari and Savana are raised lodges for up to six.
Cosy or Tanganika
Both take up to four guests. Choose Tanganika when an adapted shower and reduced-mobility layout are required; choose Cosy for its wood-cabin atmosphere and walk-in shower.
Getting to Parc Zoo du Reynou
Parc Zoo du Reynou is at Le Vigen, south of Limoges in Haute-Vienne. The official access page recommends completing a rail journey to Limoges by taxi.
- By car: this is the simplest option for the lodge stay and for carrying food or luggage. Free parking is included.
- By train: travel to Limoges, then pre-book a taxi for the rural final connection. Check the current train and taxi arrangements for your dates.
- By air: if arriving through Limoges airport, arrange a hire car or private transfer rather than assuming a zoo shuttle.
