Safariland Stukenbrock

Begin with the safari, then choose the meerkats and petting zoo. Break for lunch at Kattagaskar and let covered play set the afternoon’s pace. Add the monkey train if everyone still has energy.

Give each passenger one thing to notice on the safari: horns, stripes, long necks or the way an animal walks. Compare your discoveries once parked, so the driver can keep watching the road.

Watch from the car during the safari, or revisit the white lions’ outdoor enclosure on foot. The pale and normally coloured lions belong to the same species.

Look for the white tigers from inside your vehicle, then find the separate temple exhibit in the walkable zoo. Their white coats do not make them a separate species.

Look up at the feeding frame, then watch the legs: giraffes can move the two legs on the same side together. Let a passenger take the photographs.

Compare two animals’ stripe patterns while safely inside the vehicle. Give zebras room to cross the road; do not edge forward to improve a photograph.

Find the herd among the grassland animals and compare its horns and body shape with the zebras nearby. Young animals may be present, but are not guaranteed.

Scan the large outdoor enclosure from the visitor area before moving on. A resting cheetah can be easy to overlook; the overhead high-ropes course is closed.

Pause long enough to spot different jobs: digging, resting or standing upright to watch. Choose one animal and follow it for a minute.

From the protected train, look for climbing, play and mutual grooming. Keep hands inside the bars even when an animal reaches towards you.

Use the designated visitor areas to watch the lemurs at close range. Look for their long ringed tails and let them choose their distance from you.

Follow the visitor paths beside the water and watch how the pelicans carry their large bills. This makes a slower stop after the rides.

Kattagaskar adjoins Kattas Welt and serves children’s meals and vegetarian options. The Parkexpress links the restaurant area and amusement park; check its stops locally. This shuttle is separate from both the safari bus and the macaque train.
