MARWELL Zoo visitors looking to make their day extra special can now upgrade their trip with a private safari-style tent in a secret garden.

All five bell tents are fully furnished and away from the crowd in a secluded walled garden, with the aim of providing a luxury base for zoo-goers to relax between activities.

Upon arrival, visitors will be greeted by a host, who will show them to their tent and brunch hamper.
