An original vacation at the new Safari Camp

The Safari Camp is an unique part of Zoo Dvůr Králové nad Labem, which has come with an original idea how to spend a holiday.

Enclosures with African animals are located immediately next to the camp, and guests thus can see animals directly from their bungalows, tents or caravans.

If you stay here, you can look forward to some truly original experiences. Have you ever woken up, walked outside and seen a grazing antelope or zebra? The African-style bungalows also add to the exotic atmosphere, yet at the same time are modernly furnished. The grounds also contain a pool, Jacuzzi, a children’s playground, bike rental and other services. By all accounts, it is the only camp of its kind in Europe.

Covering an area of 6.5 hectares, the zoological garden was formally opened to the public on 9th May 1946. The complex consists of the classical ZOO situated on a plain, which is open all year round, and the seasonal safari, located in a mildly wavy terrain with a number of water areas. Part of the ZOO can be seen by car or little train.
The Zoo belongs to the world-significant breeders of African cloven-hoofed animals. It co-ordinates the European breeding program of rhinoceros and takes care of the handicapped animals of the domestic fauna. It significantly contributes to preservation of the genetic fond in the Czech nature by reintroduction of the northern lynx and capercailzie. It also participated in the reintroduction of buffalo species and of horse antelope in the nature of the South African Republic.
