Get ready to embark on a captivating journey through the untamed wonders of our nature reserves.

Led by our skilled safari guides, we have unveiled a new range of exciting experiences, inviting you to bask in exhilarating new encounters that will leave you awestruck, enlightened and inspired.

Step into a realm where nature takes the stage. Lace up your walking boots as you breathe in the invigorating air of the wilderness. You will be guided by the passionate custodians of these wild spaces who are waiting to share their secrets and knowledge with you. Each safari promises an intimate exploration and an invitation to witness pioneering conservation techniques that are taking place across the county.

Guided by our exceptional experts and embracing the intimacy of small groups, venture into the depths of ambitious wilding projects and crucial conservation endeavors that shape the landscape we live in. 

Join us in this new era of conservation and help to fight the climate and nature crises that we are all facing. 

Below, you'll find our fan-favourite safaris that are ongoing throughout the year: discover the impact of our regal bison herd at West Blean and Thornden Woods and the industrious endeavors of beavers at Ham Fen. Keep scrolling to discover the brand-new range of safaris that we are unveiling: from the overwhelming colour displays of orchids to the ancient majesty of towering trees, and from the graceful dance of butterflies to the playful antics of pigs, there lies a treasure trove of untold tales waiting to be unraveled. 

Chough free flying post release

NEW: Red-billed choughs are now flying over the skies of Dover. Join us on a Chough Safari to explore the sweeping chalk grassland of Lydden Temple Ewell and hear about the landscape restoration that has taken place in the area to make the reintroduction possible, as well as these charismatic birds' habits, how persecution led to their extinction, and their links to Kent's rich history.
