All activities in the park are at your own risk - both personal and material.

FAQ

You can call our Safari service at 40 90 34 70, they will come and assist with contact to Falck or similar. Knuthenborg does not provide vehicles if a car needs to be pulled free. Neither do they provide jumper cables if a car has run out of power. This is for insurance reasons.

As a starting point, you drive around in your own car in the park, as there are large distances and facilities with dangerous animals. However, there are areas such as Limpopoland, Dinosaurskoven, Museum of Evolution, Abeskoven and Tigerskoven, where you park the car and walk around on foot.

The driving speed is max. 30 km/h everywhere in the safari park, except Ulveskoven, where the speed is max. 10 km/h. Please give way to the animals, and be aware of young and lying animals – therefore only drive on the roads. To avoid traffic challenges, we encourage you to park on the grass in certain areas – see signage for this. All traffic in the park is covered by the Traffic Act.

Yes, you can visit us by motorcycle or bicycle – or you can enjoy the park on foot. However, be aware that the distances are large: The park is 400 ha, and there are many kilometers of roads in the safari park! In facilities with dangerous animals, only cars and buses are allowed. These areas are marked on the map that you receive upon arrival. Please note that it is not possible to rent a car from Knuthenborg, or be transported around the park by Knuthenborg's staff.

You are welcome to bring a grill and grill at Svanesøen. In other areas of the park, it is forbidden to grill and have open fire. There may be a ban on grilling in very dry periods. However, it is allowed to grill in the individual camps and in the camp areas, as these are secured areas. Own grill may not be brought, as there are grills available in the camp areas.

Yes, dogs are welcome when you are a day guest. They must always stay in the car with closed windows when you are in the animals' areas – i.e. Maglemermarken, Skovriddersletten and Bandholmmarken. The dog may not be brought into animal facilities, which are visited on foot – i.e. Nutiden, and the boardwalk as well as the panoramic window at Tigerskoven. At the boardwalk and panoramic window, a dog parking with a shade roof has been established. When you drive through Ulveskoven, the dog must not be in the car, but must be placed at the dog parking, with a shade roof, outside the facility – at your own risk. It is also not allowed to bring your dog in the exhibitions at the Museum of Evolution. Here, shade roofs have been set up, which you are welcome to place the dog at. The dog may thus leave the car in all areas where there are no free-roaming animals. It must always be led on a leash, and excrement must of course be removed. The dog is also welcome in Limpopoland, as long as it is on a leash. NOTE: Never leave the dog in a hot car!

Smoking is only allowed in the two areas marked on the map (at Limpopoland and Abeskoven). The rest of the park is completely smoke-free.

We have charging stations from Clever on the grass parking lot at Limpopoland, and on the parking lot at Dinosaurskoven. Here you are welcome to charge your electric or hybrid car. These are standard charging stations (not fast charging).

In Knuthenborg Safari Park, there are generally good conditions for both the walking-impaired, disabled and elderly. Everyone can equally experience the amazing proximity to the wild animals, and the beautiful historical park, without having to worry about stairs, sanitary conditions etc. - with the exception of petting goats, a few lookout posts and Elefantstalden. In our drive-through facilities with the large African, American, Arctic and Asian animals such as rhinoceros, giraffe, bison and wolves, it is possible to experience the animals from the car. The petting animals on Maglemermarken and Bandholmmarken often come right up to the asphalted roads in the park, from where wheelchair users also have the opportunity to get very close to them. The walking paths in the facilities, which are intended for walking traffic, for example Dinosaurskoven, kangaroos in Nutiden or Tigerskoven are covered with gravel or wood, and can be used by wheelchair users. The boardwalk at Tigerskoven has a ramp at one end and stairs at the other end.

Yes, you can easily borrow a wheelchair when you visit the park. Here you are asked to contact Guest Service, from where they will hand out the wheelchair. Please note a limited number of wheelchairs.

No unfortunately. Bandholmporten is currently not open for entry. We refer to Maglemerporten at the following address: Knuthenborg Allé 4930 Maribo.
