Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve

Visit Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve for a wild day out set across over 600 acres of stunning Kentish savannah, where over 75 species and 900 animals roam. There's so much to see and do at Port Lympne Reserve, we recommend around 3-5 hours to experience everything the reserve has to offer from endangered animals, walks with stunning views and historic landscaped gardens to good food and even a little retail therapy in our Gatehouse Gift Shop! Make your day out even more special with a close encounter with your favourite animal, head off on a safari adventure with an expert guide or learn how to capture that perfect shot on a wildlife photography course. Steel your nerves and discover the land that time forgot as you explore the UK's largest outdoor dinosaur exhibition, Dinosaur Forest, featuring all your favourite beasts! Take a break from exploring and enjoy tasty dishes with local wines and Kentish brews at our restaurants or grab a quick snack and a delicious coffee at our seasonal kiosks. We serve home cooked food made with fresh, locally sources produce at our restaurants and cafes. You'll find family favourites at Basecamp Café, Italian inspired dishes at Babydoll's Wood Fired Pizza or dine in style at The Garden Room Restaurant & Bar. Your visit directly supports wildlife conservation charity, The Aspinall Foundation, who help to protect and release animals back into the wild. New for 2025: Discover the magic at Port Lympne Illuminated, our first ever festive light trail. Coming to the Reserve 28th November 2025 - 3rd Jan 2026
