Just returned from a truly British Safari at Port Lympne. British because only Britain can supply Gale force winds and freezing rain in May whilst lying in bed listening to Lions roaring through the long night/ The Park is truly amazing as is the conservation work being done by the Asspinal Foundation so I will keep my remarks to the...

Do not visit here, lost of the animals are missing or so far away only good quality binoculars will do. The cost is extortionate for what you get. The safari trip was a very big dissappointment. If you want to see animals visit the Howletts park. much better. Very Poor toilet facilities.

We visited here after booking the Tiger Experience I wasn't sure what to expect but it was totally worth the money so much so that I am going to do it again soon :). Feeding the tigers was incredible and to get so close to them. The park fee is a little expensive but not much more so than most... More

We went here as we where on holiday in the area. There was no queue to get in, the lady on the desk was lovely and explained everything. Was great getting on the trucks and driving round, the only thing is that the seats are very uncomfortable. We were very lucky with the weather and it was a nice day.... More

For my daughters birthday we decided on Port Lympne, we have been to Howletts,Whipsnade and Longleat.I was very disappointed for the money we had paid.The weather let us down a bit but the overall look of the park was poor.It looked very run down and in need of some TLC.Most of the animals were very shy,either that or most of...

Myself and my 4 year old son are regular all weather visitors to Port Lympne and we decided to go yesterday May Day Bank Holiday. We were certainly in for a surprise, we arrived at mid day to find the entrance queue into the car park and there seemed to be no filter in place for passport holders until you... More

Fortunately the weather was great otherwise my time at Port Lympne Animal Park would have been quite miserable. I can't understand why it took so long to pay and enter the park, we arrived early afternoon so the queue was not particularly long; nevertheless it still took around half hour to enter. Our first stop was by the Baboons, they... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The May Bank Holiday was an extremely busy time for us resulting in some queues – many visitor attractions around the country also have extended queuing times during holiday periods. We also like to ensure that our visitors are welcomed individually, rather than simply processed and occasionally this means that... More

Went to port lympne in october last year, we had a great time and i was very happy to see that the animals had such big enclosures, It never even mattered to me and my 12 year old daughter if we could not see any of the animals close up, its the animals welfare that is more important and people...

If you want fresh air, fabulous views and a chance to spend some time in the presence of some of the worlds most endangered animals then you could do a lot worse than spend a day at the Port Lympne animal park. The park is one of two sites run by The Aspinall Foundation, a charity which the UK and... More

We stayed in the cottage recently, my husband and I and our 2 year old daughter, with some friends - it was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was lovely, the experience was fabulous and all in all it was such a lovely weekend and time spent at the park. We met some amazing members of staff, who...
