I can

Safaripark Beekse Bergen, the lagerst zoo in the BeNeLux and top 3 of Europe.
The park began as a lionpark, this year exactly 40 years ago. Later on giraffe, rhino's and elephants moved to Hilvarenbeek. It is famou by the big savannah area's and big groups of animals.

You can visist the park by foot, boat, own car and safaribus. It is imposible to do them all at one day.

I prescribe the Safari with car/bus:


First you go in the large Grant zebra exhibith. They live together with, Blue gnu‘s(more than 20 animals)gemsbok, waterbuck, Impala’s and African Forest Buffalo's.

Now you come in the Cheeta area. Cheeta's walk around you car and you have an overvieuw to the rhino savannah. You can also see the cheeta seperate parts(4). They have also 4 Acinonyx jubatus soemmeringii.

In the woodpart you can see in one exibith: Turkmenian Makhor, Kulan, Red deer, banteng, Nilgai and wite-necked cranes.

On the next lagere grass place you see camels, yaks, Przewalski horses and Japanees Sikadeers.The makhors are also here, the can leave the woodpart onde the barrier.

You can park your car and walk into the park, or go further with your car.

You fallow the way ,again to the wood were you find Thorold's deer, Japanees Sikadeer, Sarus cranes and Père David's Deer.
On the next steppe , their live Persian gazelle, onager, Fallow Deer(mesopatian).

Untill 2006 you can drive between the lions, but visitors thought lions are not dangerous. Some step out the car to take a picture. Now you drive higer and you have a vieuw over the exhibith. The male lions are Somalion lions.


The last African part has 16 Rotschilgiraffes, Grevy zebra’s, Giant Sable Antelopes and Greater kudu’s. Now you drive to the parking but you first go to the Australion part wit emu‘s, red kangaroes and bennet walabys.

This week elephant Erna went to Warschau. Djomba is being introduced to the other females.

Rhino Nel was put to sleep because she had a very painfull wound on a hind feet that didn't cure. Next week an other rhino is exchanged with Whispnade. Maybe another cow carries a calf.
