Beekse Bergen Safari Park

In Hilvarenbeek, more than a hundred African and Asian species roam wide open plains. You can explore on foot or in your own car on the car safari, ideal when it's cold or wet; it closes half an hour before the park. Giraffes, rhinos, lions and cheetahs are often seen up close from the car. In winter the park opens from 10 am to 4.30 pm. Tip: buy your ticket online, which is cheaper than at the gate, and start with the car safari before continuing on foot. In the evening, the Light Safari (separate ticket, late November to late February) turns the park into a light trail.
