In 1972, the Duke of Bedford had the idea of building the largest safari park in Europe with partners from America.

In 2004, Serengeti Park received permanent recognition as a zoological garden in accordance with current EU guideline 99/22/EG and §45 of the north German nature reserve law and on the basis of a LANA inspection.

On 27 August 2019, a 30-year-old rhinoceros called Kusini attacked a zookeeper's car and flipped it over at least three times in an incident captured on video.

Kusini arrived at the zoo 18 months prior to the incident as part of a breeding program and was reportedly struggling to adjust.

This open-top bus tour takes part in the Serengeti-Safari in Safari style and also negotiates an off-road section with special effects.
