Selwo Adventura Theme Park - Crappy Place

We went to the Selwo Adventura theme park and it was out of town on the main coastal road and very easy to find, the road up to the park high on the coastal mountains was wide and I was surprised by this, i later found out why, the car park was too small and the road was the over spill car park. the entrance was a nightmare, massive queues and all moving very slow, I hate queues like the plague. we went in and the place seemed pretty nice a long walk down to the first cages and the large lake, but once you arrived at the cages it was a different thing, small cages with miserable looking animals, with untidy not nice looking surroundings for the animals, this was a typical zoo from the Victorian mentality. it was an exhibit, not a breeding centre. we wanted to go around the park so the method was by a large 4 wheel drive truck, just horrible, noisy and stinky, it was a fare ground ride, rushing down hill in a pretty scary way. the hills were incredibly steep and all the compounds in which the animals were staying were totally barren, all the grass had been eaten and the ground was eroding away under the weight of the animals hoofs, it looked desert like, a really sad pathetic place, we arrived at the main camp and went round all the events, the main one was the snake exhibit, it was so poor, no seats, nobody could see anything apart from the kids at the front, poor PA system and just a poor show of 3 snakes.

The next was the bird display as we both like birds, well we couldn't find the display area we walked up and down this pathway and round and round, but nowhere we could see it, at the allotted time we realised that there wasn't a display area, we had 500 people all stuffed into the pathway between the comnpounds, it was just crazy, the birds were being released to fly from above the pathway. The display was the best it could have been with the situation, amazing birds but in the worst possible layout, never could you imagine anything so badly organised, and this whole operation is from Warner brothers USA, to piss poor money making robbery, The elephant compound was OK but all the others were poor and Europes largest aviary was pathetic, the nets overhanging the valley were damaged and all the small birds had escaped leaving only the large birds, some painted storks and Ibis's, it was europes largest empty Aviary. I haven't been in such a poor rip-off for such a long time, I was robbed and got nothing in return to say was good, it is a joke and Warner brothers should be ashamed of it. The zoo in Fuengirola was so much better, tomorrows blog
