Could you imagine that you could find yourself in the African savanna in the middle of Europe? By embarking on an exciting, extraordinarily interesting tour from the capital of Catalonia to the African safari park Sigean, you will enter a wonderful world of wild animals and stunning nature.
Sigean Safari Park, Collioure – an unforgettable journey through the south of France
Together with a qualified guide on a comfortable bus from Barcelona, you will set off towards incredible adventures, bright impressions, and amazing emotions.
Tour “African Safari Park Sigean + Collioure” will last 10 hours. During this time, you will be lucky enough to visit places such as:
- the national safari park Sigean;
- the stunning town on the Vermilion Coast – Collioure.
After overcoming the picturesque route from Barcelona to Sigean, you will find yourself in a unique place that is an amazing reserve of African nature. This truly stunning place was once an uninhabited territory, but it has a rich fauna and flora. In the 1970s, Daniel de Montfrid and Paul de la Pounouse opened the park here.
The reserve, covering an area of 300 hectares, has become home to more than 3,800 animals, most of which are typical African species. They do not crowd into tight, small enclosures here, but move freely across the territory surrounded by wonderful Mediterranean vegetation and picturesque ponds.
Therefore, the safari park is divided into two parts: one is intended for walking, the other for driving.
African Safari Park Sigean (France) will be a true discovery for you. It is hard to imagine that on French soil you can easily encounter a zebra or a giraffe. However, by traveling in a special vehicle through the reserve, you will also be able to see gibbons, lions, bears, gazelles, antelopes, rhinos, bison, and other representatives of the animal world.
After observing the ordinary life of wild animals from a vehicle moving at a speed of 10 km/h, so you can see all the representatives of the fauna, you can confidently head to the pedestrian area, where you can watch the animals up close with great interest.
It is important to note that the cost of entrance tickets is not included in the cost of the tour.
After visiting the reserve, filled with bright impressions, you will head to Collioure – a wonderful town that has become a source of inspiration for outstanding artists.
This town is characterized by stunning, picturesque nature and a serene, relaxed atmosphere. It is no wonder that artists, painters, and art figures have come here and continue to come for inspiration.
You will be lucky enough to enjoy this to the fullest. You will be able to behold breathtaking landscapes and stroll through outstanding attractions:
- Windmill. An ancient structure dating back to the 16th century;
- Royal Castle. An amazing building that once served as the summer residence of the rulers of Majorca;
- Fort Saint-Elmo. Part of the defensive system that appeared presumably in 1552.
You will also visit a wonderful wine cellar, which is one of the best in the region. You will stop by the church of Notre-Dame-de-Agnès, walk through medieval streets where souvenir shops, ateliers, and various workshops are located, where artists, sculptors, and other art figures create.
