The first decision you have to make is with what type of animal you want to wake up in the morning from the bed or the sofa in your room: giant walruses,

polar bears,

Siberian tigers,

penguins

... Of course, behind a generous window that allows

see the beasts in action

, but with complete security.

It is the one offered by the new hotel of the

Pairi Daiza

zoo

("walled garden" in Persian), considered one of the best in the world and located in the Belgian town of

Brugelette

, near the border with France.

The zoo, which occupies more than

65 hectares

, offers the possibility of seeing

in situ

the day-to-day lives of

more than 5,000 wild animals

that coexist in a situation of semi-freedom.

There the new and original

resort of 50 rooms

structured in several levels

has been installed

.

The first has to do with the

underwater world

and is the one that allows you to see the aforementioned XXL-size walruses as well as seals or a colony of African penguins.

Then there would be the area to observe the

big cats

that roam the surroundings.

Without forgetting the level that is focused towards the sky with a

panoramic view of the treetops.

Underwater rooms

The design of

each room is different

and allows the guest to completely blend in with the environment, whether in the

caves on the level located under the water

or in the

wooden cabins

with grass floors, stone walls and all kinds of furniture. tropical (from the log-based tables to the faux fur blankets) to make you feel

in the middle of the jungle

or a paradisiacal beach on the Pacific Ocean.

In short, the ideal place to spend a family vacation, since the little ones not only wake up seeing their favorite wild animals, but the zoo offers a multitude of

activities,

from

feeding the giraffes

to train rides throughout the complex or a

playground surrounded by

nature.

The zoo is structured around

eight different worlds.

From the

Kingdom of Ganesha

(inspired by the Indonesian jungle) to the Middle Kingdom (with the pandas as protagonists), the Land of the Cold (overlooking Siberia), the

Cambron Abbey

(which occupied the place of the current park and with all kinds of birds as protagonists) or Cambron under the sea (where it is possible to play with seals).

Children can feed the giraffes at the resort.

Then there would be the

Land of the Origins

(a tribute to Africa), the

South Cape

(including a trip to the Australian Antipodes between koalas and kangaroos) and

The Last Frontier

(a tour between deer, marmots, American black bears and sea lions) .

The largest aviary in Europe

There is also a visit to the aquarium to discover all kinds of aquatic species or to

Oasis

, a 7,000 square meter greenhouse with a sliding roof that is considered the largest aviary in Europe.

In the middle of the Pairi Daiza facilities we must add the list of buildings of

architectural styles

from all continents, from

Chinese gardens

to African villages or Buddhist temples.
