All of our short breaks guests have a safari included in the cost of their stay. What’s more, guests can enjoy their stay knowing that they are directly helping conservation, with all profits from the park’s short breaks going back into Port Lympne’s animal conservation charity work in collaboration with The Aspinall Foundation.
