The reptile cave in the Rio Safari

Here, as the name suggests, reptiles and amphibians are at home. In this rocky hiding place you can visit various snakes, chameleons, bats, caimans, etc.

There is the impressive yellow anaconda, whose color patterns will undoubtedly fascinate you or the boa constrictor, a giant strangler that mainly eats rodents, birds, and small reptiles.

The temple of the tigers

Fantastic Bengal tigers have been given their own temple in Rio Safari Elche. This impenetrable territory is surrounded by water, allowing you to admire these beautiful animals from a safe distance. Did you know that according to recent studies, the Bengal tiger is among the largest of its kind?

The temple also provides space for a group of lions and a couple of hyenas.

The latter look pretty frightening…

The island of the chimpanzees

An open-air island of no less than 1000m² is home – and play area – to the chimpanzees. This immense surface also has an interior space, allowing the monkeys to choose where they want to hang out.

Relaxing in the trees or lounging in a hammock dreaming of a tasty banana, the life of a chimpanzee can sometimes be burdensome…

Rio Safari Elche | Crocoland

As the name suggests, this is where you can spot crocodiles. And not only crocodiles but also the big North American alligator. By the way, the crocodile is one of the few reptiles that has a “voice”.

Don’t expect profound conversations, but rather frightening, undulating sounds. We definitely recommend that you visit Crocland during lunchtime!

The farm

Not all animals need to be wild and dangerous. Rio Safari Elche teaches you, in an educational way, the importance of animals in our lives, especially in relation to the farm. Here children get the opportunity to participate in a workshop. This is a fun and educational conclusion of your trip, which has already been attended by many schoolchildren.

Next to the farm, you can also admire giraffes and zebras. These live together in harmony with some roes and deer.
