Hoofstock

CMS Image

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent offers a wonderful variety of Hoofstock species for our visitors to see. From animals you may be familiar with but have never seen up close such as the magnificent Black rhino, to others that you may never have even heard of such as the colourful Bongo you are sure to discover a new favourite amongst our collection.

The term ‘Hoofstock’ refers to a wide variety of hoofed mammals that come in an assortment of shapes and sizes – from stocky bison to herds of delicate antelope, there’s something to inspire your imagination at every turn. Our Wildebeest herds bring to mind visions of the great savannah migrations, and what could be more reminiscent of an African safari sunset than the stunning sight of a herd of giraffe roaming through the thickets.

Explore the wild range of Hoofstock at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park when you book your tickets online today!
