Guide - Selwo Aventura Located just a couple of miles along the coastal road heading towards Estepona from Marbella and Puerto Banus, and a short distance from our rental apartments in El Presidente, is the spectacular Selwo Wildlife Adventure Park. Here you will find more than 2000 animals from every continent living in semi-free conditions on the one million square metre site. Selwo Aventura is open daily from 10.00 to 21.00 through to about the end of November. Below is a view of the luxuriant and extensive lake-side gardens in Selwo. |

 |
 |
|
| These
gardens lead to the Masai-style village huts and the largest walk
through aviary in Europe with over 1000 birds of different species
living in a vast and enclosed valley. The huge lake, provides a lovely focal-point for Selwo. |
||
With its spaciousness, quality and comfort,
five swimming pools (one is heated), tennis courts, wonderful
surroundings, beautiful gardens and fountains there's no better
place to be! |

To the left are some of the flamingoes in one of the large enclosures, including some with monkeys and crocodiles, which are to be found to the right of the entrance area to Selwo Aventura. These lead to the starting point for the trucks that can take you up to the first stage where there is a large outdoor enclosure for bengal tigers and a cave full of bats! From
there another truck will transport you through the valleys and
hill-sides to the
top of the site, passing through many areas in which a wide
variety of animals such as elephants, bison, antelopes, bears,
tigers,
giraffes and rhinoceroses are able to roam in relative freedom. |

The trucks depart at regular intervals throughout the day although during the high season there can be long queues during the peak periods. Alternatively you can walk along the paths, crossing the foot and rope-bridges, providing opportunities to view the animals at a more leisurely pace. From July 1st to September 12th there is also a regular evening event that involves a tour of the park at sunset by truck to view the animals, plus a special dinner and a show. |

| As well as the animals there are also a wide variety of additional activities on offer including an exhibition of the flying and hunting skills of hawks, shown above. Also there are camel rides, archery, an adventure playground, trampolining and a simulated rain-forest water-spray machine! | ||
 |
 |
 |
 |
It is even possible to stay over night in Selwo in one of the replica Watu or Masai villages, shown left, which actually offer comfortable and air-conditioned accommodation. There is also a Selwo Nature School as well as Selwo Summer Camps that use the Park's many elements as the stimulus for studies and outdoor activities. |
|
| When you get there you have the option of either buying a single ticket just for entry to the Selwo wild life/adventure park or you can purchase a combined ticket for Selwo Ventura and Selwo Marina as well as the Telecabina at a saving of 40%. As all three are worth visiting (the latter can also be combined with a visit to Tivoli World as they are next to each other) it is at least worth considering. The current price is 25 euros for this combined ticket. | ||
