Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve & Howletts Wild Animal Park
Howletts Wild Animal Park and Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve, are Kent’s award winning wild animal parks, working in conjunction with the world leading conservation charity, The Aspinall Foundation. 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. Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve, is Kent’s largest wild animal park covering an impressive 600 acres! Home to the county’s authentic safari experiences, the reserve is also Europe’s first animal focussed holiday destination, offering overnight guests a variety of unique ways to stay. Visitors to Port Lympne can journey through South America, Asia and Africa via safari truck, to see hundreds of amazing animals, including Kent’s only giraffe and spectacled bears. Plus explore a forgotten world when they venture into Dinosaur Forest to come face to face with the terrifying T Rex and other favourites or, go wild and choose from a host of additional activities including animal experiences, private safaris, laser clay pigeon shooting, zorbing and much more.
