Sprawled on the banks of Lake Victoria, outside the city of Tilburg in the Netherlands, is Safaripark Beekse Bergen. Housing more than 1,200 animals is the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) region’s largest wildlife zoo. What’s unique about this zoo is that you can explore it from the comfort of your car, sans any fences, or via boat, bus, or guided walk tours. Plus, all safaris begin at the front gate and end at the back, which is close to the Kongo restaurant. Spy giraffes and zebras grazing on savannah land, laugh at the humorous bird show, and enjoy views of the park from a boat safari. The best bit is that all safari possibilities can be combined too. Staying in safari lodges in or near the park allows you to explore the tourist spot for a few days at your own pace. Check out the top safari lodges in Beekse Bergen, Netherlands.
