In this innovative educational activity prepared by the Selwo Marina conservation team, you can feed a giant tortoise while learning about the dangers it faces in the wild, what we are doing to help this endangered species survive... and how you can do your bit to help conserve it!
In this interaction, guided by expert keepers and carried out in small groups, you will be closer than ever to the African spurred tortoise, the largest species on the entire continent. Did you know that the largest specimens can weigh up to 100 kilos?
This is definitely an activity you won't want to forget... and we make it easy for you! We'll take photos during feeding time so you can choose your favorites and take them home with you. Get your best smile ready!
And, as always, we'll give you a 10% online discount when you get your place online. Don't miss out and book before they run out!
In addition, you will also be an active part of species protection! We donate 5% of the price to the Parques Reunidos Foundation, financing various wildlife conservation projects, and you can help us in our mission to educate and promote good practices to protect ecosistems and their animal life, inspiring love and respect for the biodiversity of our planet.
The African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) is in danger of extinction, with a declining population found almost exclusively in reserves and national parks. In this educational interactive activity, you can learn more about this species and discover how we work in the international conservation program coordinated by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).
In addition, you will also help protect biodiversity and endangered species thanks to the Parques Reunidos Foundation, whose projects we support thanks to all the participants in this activity.
