Watatunga Wildlife Reserve
Watatunga Wildlife Reserve, Watlington Road Watlington, Norfolk, PE33 0RG
Set in 170 acres of breathtaking woodland, grassland and lakes, our award-winning nature reserve in Norfolk is dedicated to the conservation of endangered deer, antelope and birds.
We are home to the most varied collection of deer and antelope in the UK, free to roam at their will.
Watatunga offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for visitors to experience expert-led safari tours in our fully accessible self-drive buggies.
A chance to explore the stunning scenery and see the animals in what is as close to their natural environment as we can create, grazing on the rich grasslands, drinking at the lakeside or even concealing themselves amidst the ferns and the woodland floor.
No two visits are the same.
