Serengeti Park is a safari-style wildlife and amusement park in Lower Saxony, Germany, near the town of Hodenhagen. It presents a mix of drive-through animal enclosures and on-foot attractions designed to replicate an open-safari experience.

Visitors can travel by car or park vehicles through large enclosures of free-roaming animals and also access walking zones with exhibits, rides and scheduled demonstrations. The park is arranged to allow close views of large mammals and typically offers feeding or show times detailed on daily schedules.

The park was established in the 20th century as a commercial wildlife and leisure attraction and has expanded its visitor facilities and animal holdings over time. Management and layout have evolved to meet modern animal-care and visitor-safety standards.

The park is located in northern Germany in Lower Saxony, near Hodenhagen, set in rural land with road connections to nearby towns and regional motorways.

• Park layout: The site combines a drive-through safari area with walking exhibits and animal shows; vehicles and park shuttles are commonly used to move between zones.

Serengeti-Park (the wildlife park in Lower Saxony) is best reached by car: drive north on the A7 from Hannover and follow local signs to Hodenhagen/Serengeti-Park - the drive from Hannover is roughly 60-80 km (around 1 hour depending on traffic). The park is signed from the A7 exits in the Hodenhagen/Soltau area.

There are regional train and bus connections to nearby towns (Soltau/Hodenhagen) with onward local buses or taxis to the park; check current local timetables for precise connections.

• Arrive at park opening and drive through the safari routes with your own vehicle where allowed to see animals active in the cooler morning hours and to avoid long weekend queues at popular sections.
• Buy tickets and any animal-feeding or guided-safari add-ons online in advance to skip ticket lines at the entrance and check the park map on arrival to prioritize high-interest enclosures before midday crowds build.
• If you prefer a guided experience, book one of the park's scheduled bus or guided safaris early in the day; guided runs often use different routes and can access viewpoints not obvious from the self-drive circuit.
