60th Birthday Gift

We both really enjoyed the day at beautiful Kew. So much to see. Will be going back sometime. Lovely time of year to visit with the blossoms and spring flowers . Only downside was the inflated prices of food at the cafes on site , absolutely ridiculous. Next time we will be taking a packed lunch with us . Other than that, a brilliant visit.

Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

The experience from start to finish was amazing! All the animals looked happy and well cared for, any staff we bumped into were so friendly and helpful answering any questions about the animals we had, nothing seemed to much! The safari was an amazing experience and the afternoon tea was incredible! Such an amazing day from start to finish ??
