Safaripark
General
The bus safari consists of two entirely different routes, both taking around 45 minutes.
Over around 30 minutes, the skipper or ranger will point out all kinds of animals that can be seen from the boat. The safari boat sails back and forth between the Safari Restaurant at the entrance and the Kongo Restaurant on the other side of the park. Upon arrival at one of these points, you can then choose from one of the other safari options. The 'Stanley' and 'Livingstone' safari boats do not operate during the winter period. A trip on one of the boats is included in the price of your ticket.
The walking route is about 3.5 km long. A stroll along the walking route is included in the price of your ticket.
Although the car ride of course depends on how busy the route is, it takes around one hour on avaerage. Entry is possible up to half an hour before the park closes. Parking your car halfway through the car safari is possible. Even if you’re only doing the car safari,you’ll still need a parking token. Order one here.
Unfortunately, tickets cannot be rescheduled. However, if there are exceptional circumstances, please contact us at (tickets@beeksebergen.nl). These might include illness or someone passing away.

Animal welfare comes first. Beekse Bergen will of course do everything in its power to ensure you as a guest can enjoy the view of the animals from your accommodation as much as possible. However, the Dutch climate is sometimes a little too cold or too stormy for the animals, and they cannot stay outside for long. The animals retreat to their heated enclosures at night, and sometimes during the day. The feeding times for the animals are spread out as much as possible throughout the day.
When it snows or freezes, it can be dangerous for the animals on the savannah: they might slip, for example. If this is the case, there will be limited animal visibility. The rangers will then work hard to keep the water features free of ice, so that the animals can walk around safely outside.
Even in (extremely) warm weather, animals may not want to go outside and/or are only in shaded areas.

The animals, therefore, retreat to their heated enclosures at night and sometimes during the day. Animal feeding times are spread out as much as possible throughout the day.
When it snows or freezes, it can be dangerous for the animals on the savannah. They might slip, for example. In this case, there is limited animal visibility. The Rangers will then work hard to keep the water features free of ice, so that the animals can walk around safely outside.
Even in (extremely) hot weather, animals may not want to go outside and/or may only venture into shaded areas.
There are direct views of the animals from all hotel rooms and from your terrace or balcony.
The animals are at least 10 metres away from the hotel rooms. So you can observe them up close, but, because of the canals and other features we create, they won't come that close. So it's entirely safe!
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed at the Safari Hotel and Safari Resort, given the proximity of many animals to the accommodations. Pets are, however, allowed at Lake Resort Beekse Bergen.
