I just wanted to write and say what an absolutely wonderful weekend we had at Port Lympne last weekend! It was such a treat and an experience that we will remember forever. The food was delicious and we just loved Lion Lodge! The safari was so informative and we all fell in love with Rosie the rhino. All of my friends and colleagues have now bought tickets for the Lion Lodge draw 🦁.
