Port Lympne Safari Park

Port Lympne Safari Park is a magnificent 600-acre wildlife reserve and hotel near Hythe in Kent, operated by The Aspinall Foundation as a breeding sanctuary committed to species conservation and reintroduction. The reserve is home to over 900 animals across 75 species, including giraffes, zebras, lions, tigers, gorillas, rhinos, spectacled bears, and much more, all cared for within expansive natural habitats. Highlights include 45-minute safari truck tours, the UK's largest dinosaur exhibition at Dinosaur Valley, and a range of animal encounters with expert keepers. The Aspinall Foundation's conservation impact is extraordinary, having released more than 75 gorillas back to the wild with over 35 subsequent wild births, alongside successful Indonesian primate reintroductions and African rhino transfers. Luxury lodges, glamping, treehouses, and fine dining make Port Lympne a remarkable destination for wildlife lovers seeking an immersive overnight safari experience in the English countryside.
