The popular visitor attractions are breeding sanctuaries for some of the world’s most rare and endangered animals and where possible, animals born at the parks are returned to protected areas of their native habitat to live wild and free – just as they should be! At Howletts, Kent’s original wild animal park, visitors can explore Animals of the Ice Age, Canterbury’s coolest outdoor exhibition! Plus, see the largest herd of African elephants in the UK, western lowland gorillas, walk with lemurs as the playful primates explore the branches overhead, come face to face with big cats and small cats and many more animals.
