Safariland Stukenbrock, Safari park in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany.
Safariland Stukenbrock is an animal theme park spanning roughly 65 hectares with designated zones for lions, tigers, and other species. Visitors observe the animals directly from their vehicles while driving through different habitat areas.
Fritz Wurms opened the park on 15 July 1969 as the Hollywood- und Safaripark Stukenbrock, built around the idea of an African safari in the middle of Germany. In 1972 the Affenzug, now the Affen-Express, first ran through the monkey enclosure. The 350-metre Flying Tiger roller coaster operated from 1981 to 2022, and the park marked its 50th anniversary in 2019.
The western-themed section New Dodge City features regular performances showcasing traditional cowboy skills and entertainment throughout each day. These shows shape the daily experience and draw visitors to stay and watch the demonstrations.
The grounds allow visitors to drive through various zones in their own vehicles, making the journey itself part of the experience. A visit requires a personal car or participation in guided tours to explore all zones thoroughly.
The Safari Erlebnis-Resort has 48 safari lodges and luxury tents, each sleeping up to six people, set inside the park close to the animal enclosures. Every unit has air conditioning, a TV, a private bathroom, a fridge and a terrace; accessible facilities are available on request, and a restaurant is attached.
