"There not a zoo"
- Port Lympne Reserve is a breeding sanctuary for rare and endangered animals and wherever possible they aim to send animals born here to protected areas of their natural habitat where they can live free – just as they should be.
- They always make sure that the animals come first, from enclosure design to diet, no expense is spared. They grow there own herbs and vegetables and source there meat from trustworthy suppliers.
- They design there enclosures with the animals in mind, so there’s lots of natural foliage and furniture to provide shelter and camouflage.
- They never lock there animals into viewing areas, so, just like in the wild, it may take some time to spot certain animals.
- they do there best to provide a fantastic visitor experience, whilst not forgetting the primary reason why they are there – to ensure the survival of endangered animals.
There's so much to see and do at Port Lympne Reserve, we recommend around 3-5 hours to experience everything the 600 acre reserve has to offer from endangered animals, walks with stunning views and historic landscaped gardens to good food and even a little retail therapy in our Gatehouse Gift Shop!
