selwo@grpr.com
SELWO is a nature
park unique in Europe where animals of the
five continents coexist in semiwild
conditions. The park is divided into
several zones, each of which features a
variety of different animals. The first area
you will encounter is the lagoon which
is populated by exotic birds, including some colorful flamingos. Nearby are habitats
suitable for birds and monkeys.
One of the park's most striking man-made
features is the bird canyon, a massive
enclosed area of hills and plants, within
which more than 40 different species of birds
live freely.
A great part of the circuit is made in
all-terrain trucks, although there is lots to
see on foot, so I recommend you to wear
comfortable clothes and shoes. Also there is
limited shade so summer visitors should
remember to bring along a hat and sun cream.
The Park has restaurants, shops, parking and
much more services and facilities.
