See conservation in action at Howletts Visit Howletts, Kent’s original wildlife park, it’s a unique adventure like no other! As a dedicated animal conservation charity, your visit directly helps us to protect wildlife here in the UK which, in turn, enables us to send animals back to the wild in conjunction with The Aspinall Foundation.

Our commitment to conservation, through captive breeding, education and reintroduction into the wild, allows us to gain a greater understanding of some of the world’s most fragile environments and the endangered animals that live there.

Explore a 90-acre adventure in beautiful ancient parkland that is ideal for great days out in Kent with the entire family. No gimmicks, no nonsense, Howletts Wild Animal Park is committed to one thing, the conservation, breeding and reintroduction of rare and endangered animals. Over 30 years later, our mission remains the same!

Thanks to the generosity of visitors like you, we – in conjunction with The Aspinall Foundation (charity number 326567) – have released more than 70 gorillas back to the wild and our released gorillas have had over 35 wild births! In Indonesia, we have released 33 Javan gibbons, 12 Javan grizzled langurs and 90 Javan ebony langurs. The Indonesian primates have over 30 wild births. We have also transferred 8 black rhinos from our Kent parks to Africa, who have produced 25 offspring between them.
