JAMAICA SWAMP SAFARI VILLAGE

A trip to the Jamaica Swamp Safari Village in Falmouth, Trelawny will put you in touch with the wonders of nature and animal life. Located in a natural mangrove habitat, Jamaica Swamp Safari is home to over 30 of the endangered American Crocodile, the also endangered Jamaican Boa Constrictor (Yellow Snake), and the once thought extinct Jamaican Coney. Venture into Jamaica's only walk-thru aviary to view several species of rare local birds. Take a guided tour and meet the many animals of the America's on show such as the Lesser Anteater, Capuchin Monkey, Collared Peccary, Grey Fox, Tayra, Mongoose, Raccoon, Agouti, Coatimundi and Green Iguanas. Get close up with 'Jermiah' the 14 ft monster Crocodile or 'Joseph' his buddy and you will not be allowed to depart before meeting 'Shakira' the 18ft Anaconda.

Learn about the lore of Agent 007 and the famous crocodile-jumping scene in the James Bond film Live & Let Die, which was shot on location here in 1972. Partake in local cuisine at the Safari Jerk Restaurant, enjoy a cool beverage at the Village Bar or browse through the Kananga House Gift Shop, named for the founder of the crocodile farm Ross Kananga who performed as Roger Moore's stunt double in the film. Open daily to the public from 9am-4pm, the attraction is equipped to accommodate wheelchair bound guests, and is a definite 'must do' for nature lovers and families.
