She also posted images of her son Wilfred, two, and daughter Romy, one, interacting with the animals at the 600-acre reserve.

Sharing a snapshot of her day on Instagram, Ms Johnson said: ‘Back in my happy place for the most wonderful birthday. 

‘Tapirs are now my new favourite animal. Such a magical place where the animals are truly looked after and many are returned to the wild when they can be.’

The wildlife park, where tickets cost £29 for an adult and £26 for a child, is a favourite of the family, and Carrie has been pictured visiting before with her son.

Port Lympne says it is ‘very different from a conventional zoo’ – as they ‘ensure that the animals always come first’.
