Really fun experience

Port Lympne Reserve is a wonderful place to visit. It's a huge place, takes around 2-3 hours to walk around, and thats not including the safari you can do (which is included in this voucher) and the free talks that go on during the day. The actual stay was wonderful too. The pinewood pods are a great little glamping experience. They are small, but as the 4 of us staying are close, we didnt mind the close quaters. They are also close to the animals (we could see the lion enclosure from our pod and the big cat talk was right by us too which was lucky) so in some ways as good as some of the other accommodation the reserve offers. We perticularly liked the fire pits just outside the pods that we spent much of the evening sitting by, roasting marshmallows. This voucher was great also because of the inclusion of the safari, and breakfast on the second day. Honestly felt well worth the money. Although not included, we had dinner and lunch on site and the food was just wonderful. They cater to most dietary requirements, and are incredibly helpful. All in all, I felt this voucher was well worth the money for 4 of us to have 2 days of great fun!
