Parco Natura Viva in Bussolengo is much more than a traditional zoological garden: it is a modern conservation center for endangered species and a true journey around the world, designed to keep children's attention alive for the entire day.
The park is divided into:
The Safari Park (by car): You enter the circuit directly with your own car and proceed at a walking pace in an environment that reproduces the African savanna. Giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and flocks of exotic birds roam free just a few meters from your windows, while large predators, such as lions and cheetahs, can be observed in dedicated areas in complete safety.
The Fauna Park (on foot): A walking trail divided by continents (Africa, Asia, America, Europe, Oceania). The paths are wide, well-shaded by oak woods, and perfectly accessible with strollers. Highlights include the large tropical greenhouse, the House of Giants (dedicated to giant species like Komodo dragons), the cute meerkats, and the fascinating Siberian tiger.
Practical tips for the visit:
Timing: Plan for a full day. The Safari route takes about 45-60 minutes (depending on the crowd), while exploring the walking route at a leisurely pace requires at least 3 or 4 hours.
