Welcome to Watatunga Wildlife Reserve

Watatunga is pioneering a new approach to protecting the planet’s last populations of endangered deer and antelope.

Watatunga is a stunning new wildlife reserve in west Norfolk. Situated amongst 170 acres of woodland, grassland and lakes, Watatunga provides a unique environment for over twenty types of ungulate and rare bird species to roam at their will. We run breeding programmes for many of our species including the Malayan sambar, hog deer, barasingha and the great bustard, a spectacular bird which went extinct in the U.K. in 1832.

We strive to inspire a new generation with the challenges of conservation in the 21st century by showcasing the majesty of these creatures while telling the story of their struggle to survive.

Access to the reserve is via guided tour only and must be pre-booked online via our website. We also offer luxurious self-catering accommodation with stunning views of the animals and the option to organise private tours for small groups in our electric buggies or large groups in our safari trailer.

Step inside Watatunga and be part of conservation today for wildlife tomorrow.
