We spent one day in the park with our two kids aged 8 and 11. We could definitely have spent another day. We went on the "Raubtier Safari", and that was a a great experience. The rest of the day we chose to focus on the adventure part of the park rathet than the animal part, because the adventure activities were so different from other parks. Both kids and adults had a great time, we will definitely want to come back! All the staff were really friendly and the food was allright.

The Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen. I can highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Germany/Hanover. We visited park with family and 3,5yrs old son. Drove through the safari with own car first really enjoying it! Bus was too fast for us cos it takes 1hour when with car we spend there nearly two and half. After that we went to the playground for kids and also spend some time on train to go around, nice fun! As last thing, we take a water ride, which was worth to wait for it. Highly recommend to anyone!

Serengeti is a safari park that you drive through with your own vehicle. There are lions, girraffes, tigers, baboons, elefants, along with many others. We've been twice and both times, our family of 4 (kids ages 4 and 7) loved it!
The different areas are sectioned off and it is very safe so don't be alarmed by some of the pics or reviews.
After you drive through the safari, there is a small amusement park that is also very much worth it. There are some very nice rides, especially for families with younger (12 and below) children.
I would highly recommend this place!

The Serengeti Park in Germany is part safari, part zoo and part amusement park. The entrance fee was about 30 euro per person including parking and their worthless bus tour.
First it's very unclear what kind of tickets are available. The parking lot is a huge mess. We walked around the parking lot for 30 minutes looking for the safari bus and entrance to the park. No signs and no help at all.
On entrance you will be asked if you want to take a bus safari. Somebody advised us to go with the bus because they tell stories about the animals and explain things. They will charge 3,50 Euro extra per person if you want to take their bus. The bus drives super fast and before you even get the chance to see an animal you're already in the next area of the safari. The bus was very old, worn and dirty. Huge disappointment, worst safari park ever. If you go, go with your own car or you will not see any animals.
After the safari we entered the amusement park/zoo and it was just like the bus we drove on. Extremely old and worn. It's clear this park has not been renovated in the last 30 years and has seen better days. All the rides are old and the themes, like their Aqua Safari and Jungle Safari, don't make any sense at all. It just made me laugh because the ideas for the rides were weird and surreal.
If you want to know what an amusement park and zoo 50 years ago would feel like, go to the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen! We will never visit this park again, that's for sure.

Perfect time amoung wild animals. We reccomend Safari tour by own car, reserve 2 hours for tour to enjoy animals. Higher price for entry but all amazing attractions included. I wouldn't choose halfboard again, dinner was not good value for money. You can eat cheaper in many restaurants but be carefull, they close at the same time as Park.

We've been staying in the Serengeti Park Safary lodges for 4 nights. First of all stuff by Safary lodge reception was rude and unfrendly. We were charged for park entrance for my 2 years old son,besides it is mentioned on their website that park entrance for kids below 3 years old is free of charge. Not much info was provided to us english speaking family. I got response as 'WAIT' on my questions. We drove to safary park by our own car, because we saw what kind of busses are...-that was a good decision.
It was a bad experience for all of us: 2 families with young kids.
Worst safari park ever, i won't recommend to my friends.

You can drive safari with your own car, or with a bus. And the animals come close to you - if you want: espesially the giraffes and ostrichs. You drive through rhinos, buffalos, monkeys, tigers, lions antilopes e.g. And you can stop by some points, f.eks. by the elephants. When you have drive through, you can walk arround and see the same, or different animals. And my favorite is to enter the cages with the monkeys that you can hold - they are so tame that thay climb on you.
And this should be a paradise for children to - there are several fun fair attractions to do, that you already have paid for.

I recommend this attraction to everyone! Wether rain or shine, you will definitely have a great time in this Safari tour, in the middle of Germany :) My fiancé and I went there on a Saturday, and we were so amazed by the beauty of the place, and the overall experience that we went the next day too, and tried to convince as many of our friends as possible to tag along. We drove our own car into the park - which has a speed restriction, but if you really want to enjoy the place, you will most likely have to drive in 1st gear all through. A special tip: wash the car before going, or at least wash the windows - otherwise in some of the park's areas the pictures (through closed windows) will loose a big percentage of their magic due to the dirt on the windows. Also, check the park's website, and download the special "driver's ticket" which allows the driver of the car to enter the park for free.

It was an interesting park. We decided to surprise our little girl on birthday by taking her to this interesting park. We all had the fullest fun in the Amusement park most especially our little girl.

When entering the Serengeti Park it gives you a bit of the Jurassic Park feeling... but in a good way. It took us approx. 2hrs to drive through the safari by car, see wild animals close by the window, cuddle with giraffes, and feed others. Make a stop by the cuddling zoo for kids, (small horses, donkeys, goats and another at the elephant reservart (no cuddling unfortunately). You drive through different gatted areas divided for all the different animals in the world. White tigers, lions, gazelles, rhinoceroses, giraffes, emus etc. And all close at your window. Most of the areas you have to close doors and windows of your car which is def preferable. But amazing.
The other part of the Park is for fun. Basically a fun fair. The drives are free, but very short. Food stops are available but quite expensive so it would be good to prepare some food in advance to take with you.
We had booked a lodge for one night which was nice, as close by. Free parking and free breakfast in the Savannah Lodge. Real nice with a bit for everybody. They even had a kids buffet lowered so the kids can easily take it on their own. Unfortunately didnt make a phto of that.
The lodge itself includes a living area with kitchen corner, a sleeping room and a bathroom with shower. We slept good and it was quiet.
In the end it would have not been neccessary to book the hotel, as even with nearly 4hrs one way you can make the park in one day when starting 9am.
Safari Lodge €88
Baby cot €4
Entrance fee for everything €28 adults
check online for offers as we got the 2nd ticket for free
Lunch (2x Burgers, 1x Pommes, 1x Drink) €15

Kann man mit dem Wohnmobil bzw Van durchfahren?
Serengeti-Park
Hodenhagen, Germany
Jambo!
Lose oder abstehende Gegenstände müssen von einem Wohnwagen entfernt werden. Ansonsten ist die Durchfahrt durch die Serengeti-Safari damit möglich. Die Kollegen an der Kasse werden Euch darauf hinweisen, falls etwas abgenommen werden muss.
Wir freuen uns auf Euren Besuch!
Viele Grüße aus der Serengeti

Hallo,
wenn man im eigenen Auto durch den Park fährt, darf dann der Hund mit im Auto bleiben?
Oder ist ein Durchfahren mit Hund im Auto nicht möglich?
Serengeti-Park
Hodenhagen, Germany
Jambo! Im eigenen Auto dürfen Hunde mitfahren :)
Muss man die Online Tickets wirklich ausdrucken oder reicht auch der Barcode groß auf dem Handy?

Heyy ich und meine Familie waren vorkurzem in den Jambo-lodges im Serengeti-Park und es hat uns da Megaaa gut gefallen, ich möchte meine Mutter davon überzeugen das wir mal die Zelt-lodges buchen aber sie lässt sich einfach nicht von mir überzeugen bräuchte mal paar von euren Meinungen, Danke❤️
Hallo lieber Serengeti-Park, leider habe ich weder auf Eurer HP noch hier Informationen über das neue Restaurant gefunden. Es fehlen Bilder und die Speisekarte für den A la Carte Bereich.
Wir kommen ende Oktober für 5 Tage und sind noch am Überlegen, ob wir HP nehmen oder doch lieber A la Carte.
Da wir einen Tag in den Heidepark wollen würden wir dann gerne unterwegs essen. Da HP aber nur komplett buchbar ist wäre es schön vorab zu wissen, was das A la Carte so bietet und ob es sich lohnen würde. Könnt Ihr mir helfen? Vielen Dank.

I suppose no since they offer their own Lodging facilities. But still get in touch with them to be sure.
Was hast Du nun bewertet-Serengeti Park oder Heidepark?

Habe ich die ganzen Bewertungen dahingehend richtig verstanden, dass man mit dem eigenen Auto fahren sollte, um mehr von den Tieren zu sehen?
Danke für die Antworten.

Nein, genau das würde ich nicht empfehlen, ist preiswerter aber der Fahrer muss aufpassen, evtl Fahrzeug Schäden sind eigenes Risiko und man darf nirgends aussteigen.
Empfehle entweder die Tour mit dem Safari Express (knapp € 20/Person), man sieht alles, darf vereinzelt aussteigen / füttern.
ODER etwas kürzere Tour, im seitlich offenen Groß-Jeep(ohne 🦁+🐯), gleicher Preis und zusätzlich 🦁+🐯 Fütterung, im gleichen aber vergitterten Jeep (knapp € 30).
Das ist, zusätzlich, zum Parkeintritt) viel Geld aber es lohnt sich, man hat negro Safari Erlebnis / Feeling 😍🤗😉

Moin! Ist das eigene Fahrzeug im Park sicher ohne von den Tieren angegriffen zu werden 😀
Serengeti-Park
Hodenhagen, Germany
Hallo Nico!
Die Durchfahrt durch die Serengeti ist sicher. Wichtig ist, dass Ihr Euch an die Parkregeln haltet. Das bedeutet, dass Fenster und Türen geschlossen werden müssen, dass die Tiere nicht gefüttert werden dürfen und dass das Auto nicht verlassen wird.
Wir wünschen Euch viel Spaß!
Waar op google kan ik kortingsbon voor chauffeur vinden?
