In comparison to a typical zoo, Port Lympne Reserve is designed to put the animals first, and they make every effort to guarantee that this happens. They make every effort to give a wonderful visitor experience, and we are continually looking for new methods to guarantee that they continue to be one of Kent’s finest days out, while never losing sight of the fundamental reason they are here – to safeguard the survival of endangered species.

The Reserve serves as a breeding ground for a variety of rare and endangered animals. In the United Kingdom, they are the most successful breeders of clouded leopards and de brazza monkeys, and they are also one of the most successful breeders of western lowland gorillas and fisher cats in the world, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Animals born in Port Lympne are returned to protected regions of their native environment whenever feasible, according to the organisation.
