Beekse Bergen

Beekse Bergen is a perfect holiday destination for families with young children. It is a really unique resort, split into 2 parts: the Lake Resort and the Safari Resort.

Beekse Bergen is located in beautiful woodland in the southern Brabant region of the Netherlands. What makes it unique is not only its setting in unspoilt nature with a large swimming lake, sandy lake beaches, indoor pools and the fantastic and extensive toddler friendly “Speelland” play paradise, but the fact that it is adjoining the biggest safari park in the Netherlands. You can drive or walk around the safari park, or go on the boat or bus and see all the animals in their natural surroundings. Here you can really have it all; nature, beaches, safari park and a huge play zone.

In keeping with its safari park setting the Lake Resort has an African theme which can be seen throughout; from its animal print accommodations to its newly opened Ganvie Village, inspired by an African fishing village, and housing the Etsi pool, indoor play, restaurant, bar and supermarket.

For a real safari experience why not book one of the Savannah Lodges on the Safari Resort and watch the giraffes from your veranda as the sun rises and sets.  The Safari Resort has its own indoor children’s pool, bar, restaurant and small shop as well as children’s activities with the park Ranger. The restaurant and adjacent adventure play area have direct views over the African animals. Or why not check out the brand new Safari Hotel with luxurious rooms looking out onto the Savannah and breakfast included?

Beekse Bergen is a large resort with little play areas dotted throughout, plenty of trees to hide behind and lots of sandy areas to play on! Its sandy lake beaches can be used for relaxing, playing or simply taking in the nature!

There is also a little shuttle train, the Ostrich Express, which transports you around the different parts of the resort. Riding around on the shuttle is bound to be one of the highlights for toddlers!!

Discover the Lake Resort’s Etsi pool with its 3 separate areas for swimming, playing or relaxing and take in the views over beautiful Lake Victoria.  Outside, explore Bojo beach, the new fully fenced children’s play beach with adjacent terrace so you can enjoy a drink while the children play.

Another perk of staying in Beekse Bergen accommodation is you get free unlimited access to not only the safari park and the Speelland play zone but also to several other local attractions including some toddler friendly zoos. Free entrance to the safari park alone is a massive saving compared to if you were just visiting for the day.
