Amazing experience. Port Lympne is an absolutely wonderful place to visit.
Staying overnight at the Zoo was an unforgettable experience. So special.
Made all the more special by every member of staff we interacted with. They were all amazing. Food was great, we ate at Babydolls (dinner) and Bear Lodge (breakfast).
The whole experience is very unique and highly recommended.

Amazing experience
What an amazing day. The keeper was so knowledgeable and helpful, we went through the gorilla house and up on to the roof. The gorillas were out in the garden and we fed them fresh fruit and veg. There were just 4 in our group so plenty of time to ask everything we wanted to.Then on to the jeep safari, seeing animals that were not on the walking trail, great commentary from our driver.
All in all highly recommended, it was a very special day.

Amazing experience would do again
We had such a good day out at Port Lympne on the ranger safari the setting for the park itself is just stunning and we Leary so much about the animals and the conservation from Alex our Ranger. We then spent the day walking around and we're so pleased to see how big the animals enclosures were the manor how was beautiful and we spent some time relaxing in the garden there. Could not have been a better day. Highly recommend
