The founders idea was to <strong>provide a natural habitat which would protect the existent wildlife<\/strong> and allow the wolves &#8211; and other animals \u2013 to live without interference from humans or domestication.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A visit to Lobo Park will offer you the chance to dive into the fascinating life of the wolf, a highly social animal and a perfect team worker. The wolf packs of \u2018LoboPark\u2019 live in a massive wild nature reserve with approximately <strong>400.000m2 of land.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend you <strong>take a guided wolf tour<\/strong> of Lobo Park and discover all there is to know about these fascinating animals. You\u2019ll learn that many of the myths and rumours about the wolf are completely unfounded; there\u2019s no other place in the world where you\u2019ll have the chance to get so close to unadulterated wolves!<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most popular activity at LoboPark, and the one which gets the \u2018thumbs up\u2019 from us, is the <strong>Howl Night<\/strong>. If you are looking for a slightly \u2018different\u2019 nocturnal outing, you wont want to miss this. Howl Nights <strong>take place every weekend from May to October as well as during full moon the rest of the year<\/strong> (see specific dates below). From 7.30pm to midnight visitors will be able to enjoy dinner followed by a night tour of the park. During the tour the guides will give insights into the fascinating life of the wolf as well as detailed explanation as to why they howl and their vocalization.<\/p>\n<h3>Howl Nights from August to December 2013<\/h3>\n<p><strong>August:<\/strong> Wednesday 21<sup>st<\/sup> (full moon), Saturday 24<sup>th<\/sup>, Friday 30<sup>th<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>September:<\/strong> Friday 6<sup>th<\/sup>, Friday 13<sup>th<\/sup>, Thursday 19<sup>th<\/sup> (full moon), Saturday 28<sup>th<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>October:<\/strong> Friday 4<sup>th<\/sup>, Friday 11<sup>th<\/sup>, Saturday 19<sup>th<\/sup> (full moon)<\/p>\n<p><strong>November:<\/strong> Sunday 17<sup>th<\/sup> (full moon)<\/p>\n<p><strong>December:<\/strong> Tuesday 17<sup>th<\/sup> (full moon)<\/p>\n<p>Lobo Park also has a small <strong>petting zoo<\/strong> where children will be able to get close to many of their favourite animals.
