Four ways to safari
Beekse Bergen is unusual in offering four very different safari experiences on the same site. Most visitors combine two over the course of a day.
Seven kilometres of safari road through five zones — savanna, woodland, predator (lions, cheetah), waterfowl wetland and the elephant plain. Drive at your own pace, stop where you like, keep your windows closed in the predator zone.
Open-window safari coach with a guide who tells the stories of the animals and brings the visit alive for children. The bus goes into sections of the savanna the auto-route doesn’t reach.
A 3-kilometre marked walking trail through the smaller-animal area — monkeys, lemurs, ostriches, birds, reptiles. Good for visitors who like to take their time and read every sign.
A slow boat across the park lake, past the gibbon and pelican islands. Especially enjoyed by children — the boat is calm, the animals at eye level, the route narrated.
Adjacent to the park is the Safari Resort — lodges, tented camps and the Karibu hotel, surrounded by paddocks where you can hear the lions at night.
Stone-built lodges with private terraces facing the savanna paddocks of the Safari Resort. The largest sleep up to eight.
Permanent safari tents on wooden platforms in the woodland section of the resort — warm enough year-round.
A safari-themed hotel for visitors who prefer hotel-room comfort with a savanna view. Family rooms available.
