Journey into the wild heart of Estepona and explore Selwo Aventura, a park that is so much more than just a zoo. Blending safari and conservation experiences, Selwo offers a unique look at the stunning world of wildlife in settings that closely mimic their natural habitats.
At the onset, visitors can enjoy sights of smaller animals and a dedicated children's play area. As they delve deeper, they encounter a suspension bridge offering panoramic views and move on to witness the larger animals in a valley-like setting. While the park offers ample viewing points, booking a safari can provide a closer look.
For the thrill-seekers, a zipline over the water awaits. However, it's best suited for adults.
While Selwo resembles a zoo in some aspects, such as entering by foot after parking outside, its focus on animal welfare and conservation makes it stand apart. The park has gone to great lengths to design expansive enclosures that mirror natural habitats, ensuring the animals thrive and visitors get an authentic experience.
The park is intelligently divided into habitat zones, allowing similar species to coexist harmoniously. Visitors can explore the Bird Canyon, the Central Village and Lake Reserve, and the Nature Gateway which features a quaint farm, aviary, and several delightful animals.
But the stars of the show are undoubtedly the big game animals. From the towering White Rhino and the graceful Angolan Giraffe to the powerful Lions and gentle Asian Elephants, these creatures will leave you in awe.

And for an unforgettable experience, embark on a safari where guides on trucks will lead you to feed zebras and get up-close with massive hippos.
Remember, Selwo is vast! Wear comfy shoes and carry water. For those with little ones, a buggy might be handy given the amount of walking.
