Safari Hotel Beekse Bergen

This was a completely unplanned visit. Didn’t know anything about the resort, safari or location. We were travelling back to the UK from a stay in Berlin. The most incredible place and our toddler loved it, so did we!! Room was fantastic and the view mind blowing. Never thought something like this existed in Europe!! Felt like a real African safari experience. Genuinely the most surreal experience. We drove the 2 AutoSafari rotes which was included in the stay, along with park access and breakfast. Great value for money and have created some wonderful family memories. The giraffe interactions were amazing when driving. You have to try it to see what happens! We only stayed for 24 hours, you need longer to make the most of this place.

It was beyond our expectations and every thing about the resort was well thought out and planned well

We visited in June as a family of 4 a 4 year old and 22 month old. I was a little apprehensive to start with not knowing what to expect and also some mixed reviews especially regarding the cleanliness of the accommodation. The holiday it was amazing and one of our best holidays to date. We stayed in a savannah lodge and looked out over zebra, rhinos, ostrich and giraffes. We had a feeding station outside our property and it was great to just sit and watch the animals. We also visited the other animals on the resort, the lions and seals. We went to watch the lions being fed which the children loved. We took our bikes and found cycling around between the different resorts really easy and you don’t need to go on the main roads. The pools are great and the lake resort pool is slightly bigger with more slides. We did the car, boat and walking safari at the safari park and you easily need a couple of days there to see everything. I would say it is the best safari park I’ve been to. There is a gate from the resort into the safari park so you can just walk in during opening times which is nice. We went to speelands one day and enjoyed the rides and the lakes. On our first night we ordered a pizza delivery which we were able to go via the app on our way. It was easy abd good to know we’d all get some food. All in all we had a really magical holiday, I love South Africa and feel it was the best alternative with 2 young children to reallly get the feel for the wildlife. We will definitely return . Our property was adequately cleaned if I was being really picky it could have been slightly better with regards to hoovering but everything else was clean. The outside of the property is dusty so it is going to get blown/trodden in. The bathrooms are well done and a big bath. You have a hoover so can easily run this around if you don’t like cobwebs. We had a couple of things broken when we arrived one being the travel cot these were sorted really quickly.

Fabulous Safari Park and Resort. The zoo element is wonderful. Extremely well set out. Great access to see the animals. The lack of ostensible cages and fences means that one feels close to all the creatures. They all look healthy and well cared for.

I'm not sure how I stumbled across Beekse Bergen but I looked to go in the summer time but the prices rose and I was left deflated at the thought of another expensive school holiday. A week before our February half term we found the lodges were reduced, so we chose Savannah Lodge 431 to be next to the facilities and overlooking the animals. We travelled in a family of 4 with an 18 month old and 5 year old. From our Lodge we saw ostriches, camels. Zudus, zebras and rhinos daily. The giraffes however were on the otherside so the picture of what animals you could see was a bit misleading in that respect. No complaints here though the lodge was stunning, underfloor heating so always a nice temperature, good facilities for the toddler with a high chair and cot already in place. We loved the sauna and used it daily. We were a 10 minute walk to the safari park and did the car, boat and walked safari. Car safari was great the giraffe are very friendly and we appreciated the english audio tour you can play on the app. The boat safari was a bit disappointing didn't see much and couldn't understand the lady speaking. We visited the etsi pool at the lake resort and facilities were great. Good system in thr changing rooms and something for both kids in the pool area to play with. We played bowling on the last night which I thought was a little overpriced, 25 euros for all of us. We sadly didn't have time to use the kids ranger activities so can't comment on that. Overall it felt really quiet (I think the kids half term is different to us brits) so we really enjoyed our experience. We've already scoped out what would be a better Lodge for us for next time!

We stayed in a Boomhut & woke up to giraffes & zebras wandering around in front of us & seals splashing around behind us. What an absolutely amazing stay! Very friendly, informative staff. So many different ways to see the Safari, walking, bus, car & boat. Great swimming pool over in the Lake Resort too & a fun morning spent in Speelland!
