Port Lympne Safari Park

"The Safari was such an enjoyable experience for all of us, suitable for all age. Some of the animals have a spacious natural ground to explore around, I suppose similar to their natural habitat. So don’t think of this park like an ordinary zoo please. The restaurant’s interior was most fond by me, 30-40 for two adult plus a child which is acceptable. Applause for the chefs here, the beef burger and lamb kofta were absolutely amazing! Great (free) parking space, though the extended grass parking could be very muddy and splashy around the wheels after the rain. The staff were lovely and polite, attentive and happy to offer info to new visitors. A good selection of souvenirs."

"Fantastic day at Port Lympne. I was amazed how knowledgeable the lady that took us on the safari was. I would 100 per cent recommend. The safari took about an hour. Driving round at about 5mph. Information on all animals and the zoo. The ride was very comfortable and the animals are clearly seen. Some animals standing around in front the truck very funny."

"Stayed at Lion Lodge overnight and wow, what an experience..... The lodge was pure luxury and being able to sit next to the lions was amazing. All the staff were so helpful and friendly and made this a truly memorable time. Also booked a AAA Safari - this is highly recommended. Will, our ranger, was so knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The real highlight for me was hand feeding the black rhino and stroking the white rhino. A most enjoyable 2.5 hours roaming the reserve."

"We have just got home from a day at a safari. Park and grounds are beautiful and well kept. Animals seem happy and well looked after. We booked the Safari and have been on a few safari type experiences in the UK. This by far, was the most boring. We barely see any animals and when we did most were at a great distance except for the giraffes. It was a glorified taxi service around the grounds. If you are a wheelchair user or buggy user then forget it! It’s all uphill and lots of stairs to climb. I can imagine children getting very tired. The food and drinks were ok and overpriced. All in all, we had a good day. But there are far more interactive experiences with animals around the UK at a similar price. I feel even some zoo’s you get a closer look at the animals. We won’t be returning."

"Loved our visit! We had a experience gift for afternoon tea and day in the park, we upgrade for £6 per person and went on the safari. Well worth £6! (sit on the left, more animals on the left). Animals were beautiful. We then visited the mansion for afternoon tea and wow the mansion room was stunning with art panted walls. Afternoon tea was lovely"
