Rio Safari Elche ticket only

Rio Safari Elche is located in a vast palm tree field that received the name “Huerto de los Leones” (Lions Field) because of the two lion statues that dominated the entry. As its name announces, it is in the locality of Elche (Alicante), which is internationally renowed for its lofty shoes production. Furthermore, Elche’s palm grove has been granted World Heritage status. The palm tree was originally imported by the Arab when they conquered the peninsula, and ever since the time of Jaime I it has been legally preserved and protected.

Today, between four thousand palm trees, Rio Safari Elche shelters numerous animal species from all around the world; from Florida turtles and chameleons to weasels, to zebras, to crocodiles, ostriches, lions, parrots, an Asian elephant or European lynxes, and many others. Visit the Reptiles’ Cave, where the most singular and remote ecosystems have been recreated for our saurians; the Temple of the Tigers, a wild and untamed area surrounded by water; the Primates’ Isle, an open oasis with trunks, swings and hammocks for the chimpanzees’ entertainment and rest. All of this you will see amazingly close!

Facilities are visited on foot, but also you can take a guided train ride inside the park. In addition, there are three didactic animal exhibitions: one with our bright parrots, another one with the beautiful elephant Babaty, and a last one with sea lions.

Apart from all this, our visitors have several alternative leisure options, such as swimming with sea lions, riding a pony or a dromedary, or even to sit on the back of an elephant and take a nice picture. Customers may bring their own food (there are pic-nic zones with snacks, drinks, ice creams service and microwave) or eat at our Hamburger bar or our Restaurant/Self-service. They may go out to the car park to get their things and then come back in again without any problem. In summer, you can also enjoy our aquatic park without any additional cost. Moreover, we encourage you to visit Karting Rio Safari, where you can ride a go-kart or jump on the trampolines.

In Rio Safari Elche we offer all the advantages for a perfect day. Nearness with nature and its creatures, pleasure and comfort, all together in a zoo that has been open to the public since 1983.
