Ever dreamed of an exotic African safari amid savannahs and wildlife? Experience it without long-haul flights or months of planning—right in France's Auvergne region. Easily reachable by train or car, Le PAL animal park delivers immersive, themed stays inspired by South African reserves.
Since 2015, the park's highlight has been seven stilted lodges overlooking a lively pond shared by hippos, herons, pelicans, and exotic birds. Pontoons let you observe up close, and you can even help feed them. Interiors faithfully capture African lodge traditions with rich woods, elegant hangings, and refined simplicity for an immersive atmosphere.
Across 35 hectares, over 600 animals from five continents roam in landscaped habitats tailored to their needs: lions, bears, tigers, ostriches, wolves, zebras, elephants, giraffes, and more.
Europe's pioneer in such accommodations, Le PAL offers thrills for all ages. Adrenaline fans tackle the amusement park, while nature lovers savor diverse wildlife and flora. Unlike zoos, sightings demand patience in naturalistic settings—the magic of a true safari.
Lake or land lodges suit families or couples, promising a one-of-a-kind African escape. Don't miss this gem!
