Selwo Wildlife Adventure Park ( Selwo Aventura) is just a couple of miles along the A-7 coastal road from Marbella and Puerto Banus, heading towards Estepona at 162.5km.The wildlife park is home to more than 2000 animals from every continent around the world, that live semi-free on one million square meters of land.
Selwo Aventura has so much to offer you to make your family day out full of fun. As well as the animals there are many other activities on offer, such as camel rides, archery, an adventure playground, trampolining, rope slide, a simulated rain forest, water-spray machine and an exhibition of the flying and hunting skills of falconry, including eagles and hawks.
The park has extensive lake-side gardens that lead to a Masai style village, complete with huts and Europe’s biggest walk through aviary. Here you will have the opportunity to see over 1000 different species of birds that live in a vast and enclosed valley.
When you have finished meandering around the lake and gardens you can take a truck ride up to the first stage, where there is a cave full of bats and an enclosure for Bengal tigers. From here another truck will take you through the valleys and hill sides to the top of the park where you find a restaurant with the most spectacular panoramic views.
The trucks depart at regular times throughout the day but in the peak months you will find yourself in a queue. The trucks take you through many separate areas within which you will see many different types of animals including antelopes, bison, bears, elephants, giraffes, tigers and rhinoceroses. Many of which have the freedom to roam around.
If you don’t fancy taking the truck you can walk along the paths, crossing the rope and foot bridges. This is far more leisurely and you can take viewing the animals at a far slower pace.
Appropriate footwear is a must when visiting Selwo Aventura and it is also important to always have a drink with you and lots of sun protection.
Selwo is a fantastic day out, with so much to see and do for all ages.
Selwo also has a hotel for those who fancy extending their time at the park. Selwo Lodge consists of 23 cabins set in the Watu and Masai villages giving you the feeling of being in an African game reserve. The huts are constructed of wood and stone whilst the interior gives you the comfort of a modern hotel. Each hut has a cosy double bedroom with television, fridge and hot/cold air-conditioning and a bathroom with a hydro-bath for relaxing in when you return from your fun filled day at Selwo Aventura.
