Port Lympne's African Experience

I just expressed a dislike for being carted past animals on a ride rather than being given the opportunity to watch (and photograph!) them.

I agree 100% which is why I have never taken this trip, particularly as there is nothing in the reserve I haven't seen many times before at other collections.

I think the crux of it is that this 'experience' was created for the 99% of visitors(including many children) who presumably enjoy the excitement of the 'Safari' and don't question any alternative methods of viewing these animals. People like us who want to stop, linger, photograph or return later, aren't really catered for in the planning of these types of exhibit.

I'd still be interested to know how successful it has been in terms of the revenue its created, though I think I for one will continue to visit just the rest of Port Lympne .;)

But why don't you just give it a go? You might enjoy it. ;)

I think about doing it each time I go there but most times I haven't had enough time. Last time I did have more time but I still didn't do it. ;)

If the queues are small next time, maybe I will.
 
The best exhibit definately has to be port lympne in my view even if all the inhabitants are not exactly geographically accurate!
Agreed is definately a bit irratating sharing the vehicle with screaming kids and etc, but i always leave it till the end of the day when the park is winding down and people are begining to leave. The last time i went a giraffe stuck its head through the side of the vehicle in front of me and the driver said it was ok to stroke the animals as long as people remained calm in order to not spook the animals, is by far the best experience ive had within a zoo.
