The Aspinall Foundation, a world-class animal conservation charity, dedicated to protecting endangered animals around the globe, was founded in 1984.
Now, over 30 years on our mission remains the same.
We are more dedicated than ever to returning as many captive bred animals as possible to protected wilderness areas and reserves located throughout the world.
Our two-award winning wild animal parks, Howletts near Canterbury and Port Lympne, near Ashford, work closely with The Aspinall Foundation and as such, are very different from conventional zoos.
Our parks lead the way in animal care, enclosure design, enrichment and breeding success and are designed to be breeding sanctuaries for some of the world’s most rare and endangered animals.
For an unforgettable trip, try the Keeper for a Day experience, and in the afternoon, relax in the restaurant with a view of the freely roaming animals. Turn your visit into a short break by discovering Port Lympne's authentic safari accommodation options.
