About Port Lympne Animal Park

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park is a bewitching family attraction located in Ashford, Kent, and it’s as popular as the Eurostar trains that speed along in the vicinity, and every bit as pioneering.  
Port Lympne Wild Animal Park was opened to the public in 1976 and, in the following three decades or so, gained a worldwide reputation as a leading conservation institution at the cutting edge of innovation. The charitable organisation places equal emphasis in laying on a cracking family day out for everyone and the extensive 600-acre park welcomes visitors just about every day of the year. 

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park nurtures around 90 rare and endangered species and has no fewer then 650 animals on display for the public. They include the planet’s largest land mammal, the African Elephant; groups of chattering African Hunting Dogs and Asiatic Wild Dogs, the ‘buffalo’ of the cowboy era, which is actually the American Bison, packs of Canadian Timber Wolves, and hilarious Black and Gold Howler Monkeys, who are natural born entertainers and always amuse with their antics. Even more unusual are the Indian and Siberian Tigers – the biggest of all feline predators – the wily Lynx, the Malayan Tapir – with its trademark extended snout – the powerful Ocelot, fleet of foot Ostrich, the rare Red Panda, graceful Roan Antelope, cleverly camouflaged Snow Leopard and the awesome Water Buffalo. 

Furthermore, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park boasts the biggest breeding herd of the very rare Black Rhinoceros outside the African plains, not to mention a group of Mountain Gorillas who are happy to let visitors on a family day out observe their lunchtime meal between noon and three. They live in The Palace Of The Apes, the world’s premier gorillarium, and if you have your picnic at the same time, you’ll have a restaurant view like no other! 

The family attraction has numerous exotic species, among which are Agouti, Anoa, Banteng, Barasingha, Bongo, Caracal, Gaur, Javan Langur, Margay, Nilgai, Red Lechwe, Samango and Sambar. The park provides information about all of them, as well as the habitats in which they live, re-created at the family attraction, allowing them to behave as they would in their native environments, which makes Port Lympne Wild Animal Park a home from home. 

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park’s renown as a top family day out is cemented by the magnificent Edwardian stately home, with its palatial chambers and burnished antique furnishings designed for Sir Philip Sassoon during World War I. It sits in 15 acres of stunning landscaped gardens, with corking vistas out over the Romney Marsh. The gardens are open to Port Lympne Wild Animal Park ticket holders and have weclomed royal visitors over the years, winning royal favour in the process!
