#1 Beekse Bergen in Hilvarenbeek
Beekse Bergen is more of a safari park than a zoo, and has been one of the most popular zoos in the Netherlands for decades. Brits are starting to get excited about it too, so now is the time to book your stay! At Beekse Bergen, you’ll come face to face with lions, giraffes and elephants. You can spot them from boat, bus or car, and the big beasts have plenty of room to roam. If you’d rather extend your stay, you can enjoy a few days at Beekse Bergen holiday park and enjoy free and unlimited entry into the safari park.
The accommodations consist of caravans, furnished tents or cabins. There is also a jungle pool at the park with a tropical climate and several attractions and wellness facilities. After a day out spotting elephants, you can relax in the sauna and then relax in your cabin with views across the large lake.
#2 GaiaZoo in Limburg
The beautiful GaiaZoo in South Limburg, the hilliest place in Holland! Characterised by rolling meadows, thick forests and traditional villages, Limburg makes the ideal holiday destination.
