Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve
Port Lympne Reserve is a breeding sanctuary for rare and endangered animals and, wherever possible, we aim to send animals born here to protected areas of their natural habitat where they can live free – just as they should be. We always make sure that the animals come first, from enclosure design to diet, no expense is spared. We source our own herbs, vegetables and meat from trustworthy suppliers. Home to Kent's largest tower of giraffe, the iconic Port Lympne truck safari, and truly unique overnight stays where wild animals are your nearest neighbours, Port Lympne Reserve offers 14 different ways to stay and more than 900 animals to meet.
