Selwo Aventura in Estepona is a fascinating combination theme park and zoo, where you can discover more than 2,000 animals of various species spread over 100 hectares. The park is divided into three main areas: the Nature Portico, the Bird Cannon and the Central Village, each designed to give visitors a unique view of the animals’ natural habitats. In the Nature Porch, you will walk through lush tropical and subtropical vegetation, and meet animals such as cheetahs, suricats and flamingos. This area also offers glimpses of exotic residents such as Bennet’s Wallabies and Madagascar’s lemurs. The Bird Cannon offers a path through green boardwalks where you can spot Iberian lynx and learn the fascinating history of these rare animals. Further on, you will find the Otter Waterfall and a large natural aviary where numerous bird species, including storks and ibises, can be seen from elevated platforms. Central Village, the heart of Selwo Aventura, connects via the Africa Bridge and offers beautiful views of the elephant territory and Lake Reserve. Here you can see large African mammals such as giraffes and hippos, as well as lions from several vantage points. In addition to the rich wildlife, Selwo Aventura also offers adventure activities such as zip lines, suspension bridges and an archery facility, giving visitors a chance to experience the park in a dynamic way. You can even choose to stay at the Selwo Lodge Hotel for a complete “wild” experience. The park also offers educational programs and interactive experiences, such as the Serengeti Safari and VIP visits, bringing you closer to nature and learning directly about the inhabitants of Selwo Aventura. This makes it an ideal destination for an educational and entertaining day out. Buy your tickets here.
