The Parks At Alicante Safari

The Parks at Alicante Safari

In fabulous Alicante, Spain, we spent one enchanting day at Elche. Said to be the most attractive place in the city, we headed to its Rio Safari Park. It’s very easy to locate as there are many guide posts to the area once you get past Santa Pola and south of Alicante.

Before you arrive, you’ll be greeted by an enticing pool, playground, water flume, a restaurant, and camels for riding. As I saw the camels, I felt ecstatic and thought about the series of events we’d planned for the day.

The sun was scorching that day and I was holding myself still to keep on the clothes I was wearing. It is advisable for you to think about the clothes you want to flaunt especially if you go out in an area where there’s very minimal shade. Don’t forget to dab a handful of sun block on your skin. Always try to keep cool.

At the Safari Park of Elche, we were surprised to learn that they give the visitors and tourists their independence. This was certainly a plus because I could get closer to some animals like the parrots and try to feed them peanuts.

If you are really interested in animals, then you ought to check out the Rio Safari Park because it has the most animals, including but not limited to:

Buffalo, Antelope, Crocodiles,Chimps, Deer, Camels, Elephants, Donkeys,,Fish,Giraffes, Emus, Parrots ,Hippos,Llamas, Tigers, Jaguars, Monkeys, Reptiles, Ostriches, Lions

Here, the animals are well taken care of as they are given enough space for them to live healthily. You will be doing a lot of walking so it is a very smart idea to wear your most comfortable shoes.

When the day was about to commence, we rode a train for a tour of the zoo. I enjoyed this part of our day because it was a great time to catch a cool breeze.

I had a blast walking around the park as they had many animals. One of the most memorable experiences we had was when our 2-year-old son burst out laughing as he caught sight of the parrots. One particular parrot did a really good job entertaining all of us.

He rode the bicycle, played dead, and played basketball! The parrot did such a good show that I even watched a clip of the show on YouTube as I was doing this article. The elephants were a surprise treat too! They blow water from their trunks, so try to grab a seat at the back of the stand if you don’t want to get wet.

As the environment got more humid, we took the time to eat a couple of ice cream cones. They serve food at a reasonable price, but it didn’t really satisfy my taste buds. And I have to admit that we barely had a handful of French fries so we stopped at the McDonald’s restaurant located in Santa Pola while on our way back to Alicante.

It was a day well-spent at the Alicante safari park and I, with no hesitations, recommend it for the family.
