Zebra's en giraffen op savanne bij Safari Hotel Beekse Bergen

Visibility of animals

At the Safari Resort and at the Safari Hotel, you will stay overnight on a savannah full of wild animals. In the warm summer months, the animals are visible day and night on the savannahs. When the days get shorter, the animals Search for their comfortable stables again in the evening and at night. As a result, the animals may be less visible in the evening and morning. Head zookeeper Rolf Veenhuizen tells more about this.

Visibility of animals

"Our spacious savannahs are home to a wide variety of African species, such as rhinos, giraffes, Ostriches and zebras. During the summer months, all these species can be seen day and night on our savannahs. Outside the summer, most animal species need some protection from the Dutch climate. If necessary, the animals therefore spend part of the time in their comfortable stables."

"The (perceived) temperature but also slipperiness affect the time the animals will be optimally visible. We always try to take animal visibility into account as much as possible, so that you as a guest can enjoy all the animals as much as possible. Here, animal welfare is of course leading for us. The caretakers know the animals well and continuously monitor how the animals are doing. Even on colder days the animals often go outside, just like humans animals like to 'get some fresh air' and 'stretch their legs'. Of course this depends on the sensitivity of the species concerned and is only possible if the savannahs are not too slippery due to, for example, snowfall or black ice".

During the cold winter months the animals on the savannahs may be less visible.

During this special activity you can admire animals up close and learn more about the animal species on the savannahs. This exclusive activity takes place on selected days. As a guest staying at the Safari Hotel, you will be informed of this in good time.
