This was a rather unique and out of this world experience. Up close with the wild life, great knowledge of the guide, stopping various places to see the water buffalo and other amazing animals and birds. 90 minute tour was well worth the visit, small gift shop, selling hats and cards, drinks, ice cream and crisps. Lots of seating. Toilets were very clean but only two ladies WC.

We hired a 4 seater buggy. It was extraordinary being so close to King’s Lynn but also feeling that you were on a a safari and seeing the animals going about their day as wild as they can be. The drive around the trail is very bumpy though and especially awkward if you’re on the back as you’re forever having to try and turn round to see the animals, which was a bit difficult and uncomfortable. There is a radio that the tour guide speaks through continually non-stop. Although they are very knowledgeable and imparted a lot of information, they talked incessantly which was irritating when sometimes you just want to sit and watch and enjoy the ambience. It would’ve been nice to be able to have just looked or held a conversation amongst ourselves as there was information on board about all the animals too. In the end we turned the volume right down so we could feel like we were actually on a safari without the continual chatter (and persistent advertising about other things available on the site) but would still hear any safety messages. All in all it was a great day out but I would’ve enjoyed it more if there had been a lull in the commentary from time to time. I would probably go again as I imagine you can see different animals closer at different times and it was certainly interesting.

Our visit to Watatung Wildlife Reserve was an unforgettable experience. The reserve is absolutely beautiful, and seeing the wildlife in such a natural setting was amazing.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information about the animals, their behaviours, and the conservation work being carried out. Their enthusiasm and passion for wildlife made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

If you love nature and want a memorable wildlife experience, I highly recommend visiting Watatung Wildlife Reserve. Thank you for such a fantastic day!

My son and wife gave me this as a gift for my birthday. There were four of us in the buggy and what we saw was amazing. The lady who did a commentary was brilliant as were all the staff.
I can really recommend this tour, never realised the site was so big. Thank you.

Easy booking process. A very lovely time, tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Some absolutely stunning animals on the reserve. Lovely little gift shop (have to say, it all looked very reasonable price wise as well) and opportunity for drinks and snacks.

My wife, daughter, four granddaughters and myself visited this "safari park" today.
Having grown up in the eras of Woburn Abbey and Windsor Safari Parks, I thought it may be good to visit. Upon arrival, you could see it it completly different, no queues going for what seemed like miles. We were signed in, by Tracy, in the hut and taken to an opened sided passenger trailer, being pulled by a 2 person vehicle. Everyone was advised to duck getting into the trailer by our guide Karen Hunt, as I am 6ft 2, the warning was heeded. We started off told to keep our arms in until we had gone through an underpass. Once through it was minutes until the first of the animals were seen, Karen stopped and gave a talk about what we could see. It seemed every couple of hundred metres we stopped and photographed and had a talk. All in all a very interesting tour/safari, lots of animals lots of information. Don't expect lions, primates or giraffes etc, its not that type of park.
But it was still an excellent experience, and we all enjoyed it. Safari tour lasted 1½hours approximately.

This was a fantastic morning out saw plenty of wildlife in their habitat, enjoying their own space, our tour guide Andy was very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable for any questions, this is well worth the time and money to visit, we had a great time, and will definitely go again

Didn’t know what to expect but what a fantastic experience, guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we didn’t miss anything. But in addition he explained how each animal behaves and what to look for when touring on our own.
Would thoroughly recommend a visit, one of Norfolk’s hidden gems.

Brilliant tour with great guild, Charlie who stopped regularly for talks about the animals as we came across them. She has a great sense of humour and knew the animals very well.
The space available to the animals is amazing as they are free roaming over the site which is beautiful with plenty of native plants.

Excellent guided tour. Beautiful reserve. Very knowledgeable guide. Can't wait to go back!
Staff are really friendly and booking was easy.
Would not hesitate to recommend.
A little bit of paradise in Norfolk.

Staff amazing, friendly & knowledgable. We did a twilight tour in an evening, and it was beautiful, relaxing and engaging. The buggy tours are so fun and we all thoroughly enjoyed. Staff helpful, site well-maintained. Facilities clean. Wheelchair & child friendly.

Very disappointed by the booking process. Purchased a Virgin Experience voucher and tried to book a visit. I was told I could not book my chosen day and they provided a long list of exclusions hidden away in the terms and conditions. It's beyond me why companies have to make things so complicated.

I offered to pay the difference between the Virgin cost and their usual price to make the booking as I am not local and am only on the area on my chosen day. Sadly now no response from Watatunga.

This is a very disappointing experience from a company that seems to have great reviews elsewhere.

Now I am a significant cost down as the Virgin voucher I purchased is seemingly unusable. It's a shame Watatunga couldn't have been more understanding about the problem (they caused).

The whole experience was brilliant we got to see all the wildlife in their habitats and we even got to see the new baby deer that the rangers hadn't even seen, it was brilliant the tour guide was very informative and definitely knew all about each animal and you could definitely tell she loved her job which made the whole experience so much better.
