Port Lympne Wild Animal Park

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park extends across 600 acres of Kent countryside, featuring diverse habitats for more than 650 animals from 90 different species.

The park opened in 1976 after John Aspinall purchased the estate in 1973 to address space limitations at the nearby Howletts wildlife facility.

The John Aspinall Foundation operates the park since 1984, focusing on breeding programs and conservation efforts for endangered species worldwide.

Visitors can explore animal enclosures through walking tours or join safari-style experiences in modified vehicles to observe African wildlife.

The park maintains the largest herd of black rhinoceros in the United Kingdom and has reintroduced over 60 gorillas into their natural habitats.
