Selwo Aventura
At MarbsLifestyle, we're all about uncovering the hidden gems and sharing our personal experiences with you. One of our favourite discoveries in the Estepona region has been the enchanting Selwo Aventura park.
A haven for both the young and young at heart, Selwo Aventura is not just a park, but a world where wildlife roams freely and where nature meets adventure. While the park is a treat for any nature enthusiast, it becomes a wonderland when you're with kids. From the majestic lions to playful monkeys, the sights and sounds will leave you and your little ones in awe.
But the adventure doesn't stop at Selwo! The neighbourhood boasts an array of delightful breakfast spots, making it perfect for an early start. Curious about where to grab that perfect morning meal? Don't forget to check out our detailed blog on Estepona to find the best breakfast nooks around.
So, whether you're a family of adventurers or someone looking for a serene escape amidst nature, Selwo Aventura and its surroundings have got you covered. Plan your adventure with the full family and let the memories begin!
Introduction
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.
About the Park
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.
Not Just an Average Zoo
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.
Habitat Zones and Highlights
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.
