‘Hungry Herbivores’ at Port Lympne Park in Kent

You can even jump on a safari truck to discover The African Experience, where you can discover giraffes, black rhinos, zebras and ostriches living together in perfect harmony in the middle of Kent!
Animal Director at Port Lympne, Adrian Harland, said –
March is a great time of year at Port Lympne with the first signs of Spring starting to emerge. Our visitors can pick up a free Ranger’s Log Book and follow the self guided trails to uncover fun facts about herbivores and their importance in the food chain as they explore our lovely 600 acre park and see some of our own herbivores.
‘March On’ at Howletts Park near Canterbury
Discover more about animals and how they move in March at the Howletts Animal Park. You can also pick up a free rangers log book upon entry, and follow the guided trails whilst comparing your walk to those of an animal movements. You can even pop into the new Education Centre, where you can learn even more about the endangered animals that are housed in the park. You can even try your hand at identifying animal footprints.
Animal Director at Howletts, Neil Spooner, said –
Howletts is home to the largest herd of African elephants in the UK and we are encouraging our visitors to behave like a herd of elephants and ‘march’ this month. Stomp around the 90 acres of historic parkland and measure how many miles you can do in a day compared to some of our animals.
So as you can see, there’s never been a better time to visit the animals at the Aspinall Foundation’s two parks, especially now the sun has decided to grace us for the first time in I don’t remember when!
