Watatunga Wildlife Reserve

We had an absolutely fantastic day at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve near King's Lynn. The self-drive safari is a brilliant experience and gives you the chance to get incredibly close to some amazing animals while exploring the reserve at a relaxed pace. A huge thank you to Andy, our tour guide, who was outstanding. His commentary over the radio was informative, engaging, and full of fascinating facts about the animals and the conservation work being carried out. You could really tell how passionate and knowledgeable he is, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Karen, who brought up the rear of our five-buggy convoy. She was faultless throughout the tour, making sure everyone stayed together, felt safe, and had a great experience from start to finish. The organisation, the friendly staff, and the stunning wildlife all combined to make this one of the best wildlife experiences we've had. We would highly recommend Watatunga to anyone looking for a unique and memorable day out. We'll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely time at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve! The whole team was incredibly warm and welcoming, but one staff member, Sarah, was especially kind and helpful. We couldn’t book a cab back after our visit, and she even offered to give us a lift to the station — such a genuinely thoughtful gesture that we really appreciated. Our guide was also fantastic: funny, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals, which made the whole experience really enjoyable and memorable. The animals looked healthy and full of life, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It’s a wonderful place to escape the city for a while, relax in nature, and enjoy seeing amazing animals up close. Highly recommend visiting!

I think this was our fifth visit to Watatunga, it’s different every time we come and always a fantastic experience. This was our first experience of coming in the summer and the water buffalo being in the water was a big highlight, what majestic creatures they are. As ever we had a very warm welcome from the rangers and everything was super organised. We will be back soon I’m sure and one of these days I hope to stay in one of the on site properties!

Absolutely fantastic experience. We've been to a deer park before in Scotland, but driving yourself around in a buggy made the experience 💯% better. The two guides were amazing. Very informative, we got to see a wide variety and definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.
