Sleep Easy. Hunt Hard. The 2025 Python Challenge.
July 13, 2025
Stay with Flamingo Adventures – Inside Everglades National Park
2025 Python Challenge | July 11–20
Every summer, python hunters from all over Florida gear up for the Python Challenge, a two-week quest to bag cash prizes for the biggest snake or most caught within park boundaries. It’s wild, it’s real, and it shines a spotlight on the invasive species threatening this incredible ecosystem.
Ready to join the action or just soak it all in? We’ve got the perfect basecamp.
Where to Stay
- Camping under the stars. Raw, rugged, real Florida
- Glamping in our Eco-Tents. Breezy comfort meets wild surroundings
- Bed + Breakfast Package. Creature comforts with your morning coffee
Why Flamingo?
- The only place to stay inside Everglades National Park
- Close to the action. Far from the crowds

Whether you’re chasing pythons or cheering from the hammock, this is your spot.
Catch snakes by day. Catch Zzzs by night.
