What to expect
The Réserve Zoologique de Calviac is a private, non-profit zoological reserve located in Dordogne, near Sarlat, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The reserve is home to around 200 animals from 45 species, many of which are endangered. It is divided into five geographic zones, each representing a different region of the world where biodiversity is under threat. The reserve is involved in various conservation programs, both in situ and ex situ, and participates in European breeding programs for endangered species. Visitors can explore the reserve's 2 km of shaded paths and discover the various animal species, including tapirs, lemurs, and birds. The reserve also offers unique experiences, such as the 'soigneur d'un jour' program, which allows visitors to get up close and personal with the animals
