The Dvůr Králové Safari Park is divided into three parts – the classic pedestrian part of the park, walking safari and car safari. The latter consists of Josef Wagner’s African Safari and the Lion’s Safari. Visitors who go on this ride will have a route of approximately 5.5 km.
Safari is a vast enclosure that is currently inhabited by over 100 African and Asian animals. To see them, you need to take a Safari Express ride. Safari Express moves slowly around the enclosures, directly among the animals. The journey time is 15 to 20 minutes.
