Important information – frequently asked questions
Please don't feed the animals!
Wild animals have trouble digesting sugar. Even small amounts which are contained in almost all edible things lead to painful indigestion, diarrhea, or even to death. Let us remind you that we will ask visitors to leave the park if they do not abide by this rule - especially in Ape World!
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are allowed. In case you drive through Animal World in your own car, the dog may ride with you. Dogs are not permitted on the Serengeti Park busses. The bus tour takes approx. 1 hour. May be your family can take the tour in two groups, so that one party can stay with the dog while the others take the tour. This way, your dog won't have to stay in the car by itself.
In Recreation World and in all other areas - with the exception of the outdoor enclosure in Ape World, Jungle Safari and Aqua Safari - you may take on your dog with you on a leash. Please remove any remains your dog leaves behind. There is no entrance fee for dogs.
Should I drive my own car or take the Serengeti bus?
Please remember: You drive your car through the Animal World at your own risk! Your car is not insured by us against damage that animals may cause. That is why we offer bus rides, where the driver is also a tour guide and provides information about the animals. Cars and busses follow the same route. The tour takes about 1 hour. Bus tours are scheduled regularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The tickets cost 3.50 € per person.
Convertible cars are prohibited in Animal World!
In case you come to the park in a convertible car (unless it's a hard top), you must take the bus for security reasons- no exceptions are made. We also reserve the right to deny access to those cars which may endanger our animals
What's the difference between a Serengeti bus tour and the Jungle Safari?
The bus tour in one of our double decker busses will take you through all of Animal World. The Jungle Safari in a jeep covers only a part of Animal World and then leads into the forest. The Jungle Safari is included in the ticket price, the bus tour costs 3.50 € per person extra. We recommend both tours! Bus tour: 1 hour, Jungle Safari: 20 min (approx.)
I'm driving a mobile home / I'm bringing a trailer!
As long as there is nothing attached to the vehicle, i.e. bicycles or a roof rack, you may drive through Animal World if you wish. However, monkeys and apes like to jump onto cars, possibly damaging something or hurting themselves. So to make sure everything is safe, we recommend that you take the bus. There is no possibility of camping on the grounds, but there are campsites in the vicinity (i.e. Ahlden/Düshorn), and there is a trailer park in Hodenhagen close to the lake.
