We Finally Visited Howletts Zoo
Howletts Wild Animal Park is located near the village of Bekesbourne, just outside the city of Canterbury, in Kent, England. It is about 70 miles southeast of London and is known for its conservation work and large collection of animals, including endangered species.
Howletts Wild Animal Park is a renowned wildlife conservation park in Kent, England, with a focus on endangered species and innovative conservation efforts. It was founded by John Aspinall in 1957, initially as a private estate for housing exotic animals, and later opened to the public. The park is part of the Aspinall Foundation, a charity dedicated to preserving wildlife, breeding endangered animals, and reintroducing them to the wild.
Howletts is set on 90 acres of land and is home to over 400 animals, including gorillas, tigers, elephants, leopards, and rhinos. It is particularly famous for its large breeding programs for critically endangered species, including western lowland gorillas, African elephants, and Sumatran tigers. The park is involved in rewilding programs, with some of its animals being successfully reintroduced into the wild, particularly in Africa and Asia.
A unique feature of Howletts is its immersive visitor experience, which includes elevated walkways for up-close views of animals, and opportunities to observe rare and endangered species in more naturalistic environments.
The park also works alongside its sister park, Port Lympne Reserve, which is nearby and focuses on similar conservation efforts. Both parks are leaders in breeding and conserving endangered species while providing education about wildlife conservation.
