Serengeti Park, Safari park and theme park in Hodenhagen, Germany
Serengeti Park is a safari and theme park in Hodenhagen, Lower Saxony, covering 220 hectares. It is divided into three zones: the 120-hectare Serengeti-Safari with around 1,500 free-roaming animals across 16 areas, the Jungle-Safari with over 200 monkeys, and the Adventure-Safari with more than 40 rides.
The park opened in 1974 and quickly grew into one of the largest facilities of its kind in Germany. Over the decades, rides and new animal areas were added, expanding the original safari concept.
The park's name refers to the Serengeti savanna in Tanzania, and the Masai Mara section is named after the Kenyan reserve. The Jungle-Safari holds around twenty monkey species, some in walk-through enclosures, and the Kumeka, Okavango and Jambo Bongo shows run regularly. Visitors can watch staff feed the monkeys in the Amboseli Reserve.
Visitors can drive through the safari areas in their own car or use the provided buses, with most guests staying between two and four hours. Restaurants and playgrounds are scattered around the site and provide breaks between drives through the animal enclosures.
A mobile app lets guests activate feeding stations while driving and see certain animals in motion. This technology connects the traditional safari experience with modern interaction, without leaving the car.
