The Parks FAQs

How much time does it take to go round the parks?
To fully enjoy the parks we recommend that you allow about 3 hours for Howletts, and about 4-5 hours for Port Lympne.

Do you drive through in your car?
No, your car is left at the car park and you walk through the park, however there is an African Experience safari ride available at Port Lympne.
