The guide Julian is excellent , very passionate and knowledgeable about the reserve and animals and just a great person to talk too 👍 The buggy tour is really good , the tour lasts 90 minutes and is informative and great fun . The gift shop , toilets and the entire site is very clean and well maintained . 👍👍👍👍👍

Me and my husband came along for one of the guided tours on the golf buggys. We learnt so much! Our tour guide (who's name I have forgotten-sorry!) was so knowledgeable and caring about what they are doing at Watatunga. It really was a fantastic and unique experience. It was lovely seeing the animals enjoying themselves and be in a much more free and natural environment compared to zoos for example. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone, I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't like it :)

A really interesting place, we had a 90 minute tour which went past way too quickly! We saw so many animals and birds, some quite close up, and could get great photos on our phones, I just wish we had a better camera! The tour never felt rushed, the guide was full of fantastic information about all the animals and birds and the conservation work the reserve is doing to help endangered species. We had plenty of time to stop and take photos and just to enjoy the lovely scenery.

Found this place via a leaflet in Hunstanton. It is truly amazing!!! The people who run this are friendly, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. The tour is so good!!! I visited with my 3 boys and it didn't disappoint. One of the best places to visit in the UK.

Wonderful tour around the reserve today. Took 6 family members in the larger size golf cart and had close encounters with many types of deer and birds. Weather was wet but no-one cared about the damp when the nest building crane wandered past and chattered his beak in greeting, then strolled back with some new straw.

We were a group of 6, with kids, and had a great time. The guide Alex was truly amazing, her experience and story telling made all the difference. The reserve is very professional and they do some great work. Looking forward to going back soon...

Surprisingly good “safari” considering we’re only in Norfolk. Staff were knowledgeable, helpful and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. Loved being able to drive the cart as well

What an incredible place. It was a privilege to see such a range of endangered species thriving in this wonderful environment. Our tour guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable. Her descriptions of what each species had been through, was currently faced with and the hope they had for it's future was absolutely captivating. Well done to all of the team at the reserve. More people need to know about this place!

Went here this afternoon had a really good time. The buggies were perfect for me as I am not very mobile and walk with 2 sticks. A step was available to get into the buggy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The young lady who was the guide foe the tour was extremely knowledgeable, and the spirals and birds were fantastic. They are involved in breeding programmes notably the great Bustard and turtle doves. I can highly recommend this tour

Great afternoon out, went in 2 buggy’s that were very fun to drive. The animals were few and far between, but perhaps this added to the excitement of finally seeing some. Hoping that eventually as the reserve grows there will be more around. A toilet stop and an opportunity to stretch your legs half way at the bird lake would be a nice touch, especially if venturing out with kids. The staff were very friendly and explained everything well, the tour guide was kind and took extra time to explain things to the kids.

We had a wonderful afternoon spotting deer, antelope, ducks and cranes. Our tour guide Miranda was excellent: knowledgeable, enthusiastic and good fun. Thank you!

On Sunday 23rd April 2023 we visited Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. This was a late booking as the guided tours on this particular day started at 10am and 1pm so it’s worth a call to check in advance. The venue is easy to find, a bit of help from Google Maps, and on arrival the venue reception and toilets were very clean and modern. Coffees, soft drinks were available prior and after the tour. There were eight of us so that was two x four seater carts. These were like battery operated golf carts, again very new and clean. Our guide asked us to follow his lead and we embarked on the 90 mins tour. Our guide was unbelievably knowledgable, and provided such a wealth of history on not only this location but also animals in the wild and on similar parks in general. He answered any questions which thanks to the communication system we could all hear. New animals are being added all the time so we are looking forward to returning. All eight of us and the people in the other carts were so impressed and really shocked by how professional and knowledgeable the guides were. I really can’t recommend this venue enough. Please please take a trip down there, we will definitely be going again. Well done to all the Watatunga Team, you are a credit to your profession ❤️

Thoroughly enjoyable day, had by us all. Staff were very helpful, they made you feel welcome. They were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the animals in there care. Would highly recommend and will visit again in the near future. Well done Watatunga.

Went today with my son and partner and what an awesome place it is, didn't realise we had something this good local would definitely recommend to anyone who likes nature and what a great place it is for the animals that are there also completely different to a zoo in a good way.

An absolutely brilliant afternoon. Paid for a golf buggy, which you only share with your party and drive yourself. Travel in convoy around the site seeing many deer, antelope and birdlife. I would say the best activity offered in the Norfolk and Suffolk area.

Short family trip with kids… as my wife booked this I completely underestimated how brilliant this tour was. The land scape and the animals was really great. And to do the tour in soggy mud driving a great quality golf buggy added to the event with no issues. The tour guide was amazing would really recommend this to anyone in the area especially if your staying so close at somewhere like Hays Wood Retreat where we travelled from only few mins away

What a warm welcome from friendly, helpful staff. Grabbed refreshments from their coffee shop which were enjoyed outside overlooking the pond. Plentiful car parking well signposted. Very clean toilet facilities. Quick H & S Briefing after being met by our guide. Informative, knowledgeable & passionate. Recently awarded & deservedly recognised for the conservation efforts that have and continue to be made. Will definitely be back as quite local. Best day out!

Thank you so much Watatunga. Such a lovely experience on April 28. Even helped us by coming for pick up due to the transport issue.Loved to see the endangered species. Very informative❣️❣️❣️Highly recommended.

We had a great family experience today at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve driving around in our own buggy and seeing the wildlife. The tour lasted over an hour and a half and our tour guide, Julian, was full of information and able to answer all our questions about the animals, birds and the great conservation job they are doing there. A beautiful and interesting place to visit.

We had a wonderful tour around the reserve, led by an extremely knowledgeable guide who told us all about the animals and the wonderful work that Watatunga do for nature conservation. I would definitely recommend this entertaining and enjoyable safari. You never know what you will see.

An excellent trailer tour with my parents and my two kids (9/5). The dedication to conservation was very impressive and the depth of knowledge of the staff was brilliant and a real inspiration for my children. The day was rather warm in the afternoon and we had sun cream and hats which was a must in the open top trailer. There are covered trailers that are also available. When we head up next we will definitely be booking a 6 seater buggy to self drive as they looked brilliant! We ended up with a 2 hour tour and the value for money was excellent, that includes the gift shop, my son is loving his Watatunga T-Shirt and daughter has added their pens and pencils to her collection. A must visit for locals and tourists!!

Went on a 3-hour evening photo safari. Absolutely brilliant - not only we did see so many of the animals up close up and personal, it was a privilege to be guided by Julian who is so knowledgeable about his animals and conservation. A really memorable experience I'd recommend to anyone (even without a camera).

I visited Watatunga for a four seater buggy safari ride with family last year during the Summer and, having throughly enjoyed it, I returned this Autumn with my sister and nephews (ages 5 and 8). Both times the tour was well organised, with fun and informative narration conveyed through walkie talkies. Our guide was brilliant for pointing out wildlife we would otherwise have missed and there were plenty of opportunities to stop and observe/take photos during the hour and a half. Seeing the animals is not guaranteed as they are left to roam free (which makes me happy!), but this was great as it makes each experience different. Last summer we saw lots of buffalo, some antelopes and deer, this time there were no buffalo to be found but we spotted different varieties of the deer and antelope, plus pheasants, a rare peacock and other birds. We were lucky enough to escape the rain and have good weather both times, but it's worth noting that whilst the front two seats of the buggy are sheltered, the back seats (which face the other way and have adjustable seatbelts) are not, so I'd recommend taking layers, waterproofs and a hat. There is plenty of parking on gravel on site, plus toilets and a small gift shop and drinks counter from which you can buy coffee, teas, hot chocolates and crisps/biscuits when it is manned (we had to wait for a bit after the tour but eventually someone did come in and serve us). The kids loved it and got very excited at being able to tick animals off the checklist we were provided with, a nice little souvenir. All in all, it's well worth a visit if you're interested in nature and want a little adventure... Who'd ever have thought you could go on safari just a stone's throw from King's Lynn!

We stayed in major's Lodge for a week. It was an amazing experience the Lodge was very luxurious and very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and helpful

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Watatunga wildlife reserve, we saw plenty of the animals in their natural habitat, what a lovely way to explore this beautiful area in your own buggy, the lady who led the tour was very knowledgeable and all the other staff were lovely too! Its a fabulous place and can't wait to see what other animals you get moving forward! We would definitely recommend and would return if in the area again.

What a great attraction! There were 6 of us on a buggy tour with ages from 9 to 70 and everyone loved it. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the animals that isn't always possible at a zoo. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Amazing experience, really enjoyed driving the electric buddy and despite the rain, got to see plenty of deer and birds.
