Its not everyday an Owl lands on your head….
A family day out to La Pequena Africa was memorable to day the least. After the initial shock of being surrounded by Osterich, dear and an array of goats, sheep and birds i actually thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience. After all its not every day you get to lunch within 10 meters of a zeal of Zebras.

La Pequena Africa is located in Estacion de Jimena next to the the picturesque village of Jimena de la Frontera.
Location Map of La Pequena Africa
La Pequena Africa have truly tried to replicate the experience of being in Africa starting with a jungle walk leading to an open hillside trail where the majority of animals roam free. The dangerous animals including, camels, tigers and large buffalo are of course caged. At the summit of the hillside there is a small lake where you can enjoy boat rides and an open area where the birds are displayed. One of the highlight of our day was my daughter being selected from the crowd to have a hat and meat placed on her head for an Owl to come and swoop and land on.
La Pequena Africa Bird Show
La Pequena Africa is superb value for money. The entrance prices are 12€ for adults and 6€ for children which includes the bird display, boat rides, pony rides and a craft activities. The staff couldnt be more helpful and there is a superb and excellently priced restaurant. Its is open every weekend and bank holiday apart from July and August. This is a great family day out and one that i would highly recommend. For more information view their website or i they actually recommend to like them on Facebook to receive opening days updates.
