Wilder Kent Safaris
Multiple Kent Wildlife Trust nature reserves
We are running wild safaris at one of our nature reserves almost every day this summer! From looking for signs of beaver activity at Ham Fen near Sandwich to exploring the secrets of West Blean and Thornden Woods near Canterbury, there’s something for everyone across Kent.
Taking part in a Kent Wildlife Trust safari is a great way to truly experience some of the amazing wildlife we’re lucky enough to play host to here in Kent. Our experts conservationists are the best guides to take you round these beautiful havens, pointing out secret signs of wildlife, amazing, rare plants and the vital conservation work being carried out to protect nature. We’re lucky enough to have lots of new wild residents in Kent this year - from Ham Fen’s amazing water buffalo to the most famous wild residents in the UK: our Blean bison! – and joining one of our wild safaris is the best chance you’ll get of spotting one this summer.
