Before you book

The prices start at 2,199 DKK. The price for each day will be displayed on our booking calendar under ‘book accommodation.’

You pay a unit price that applies to up to 6 people. The price includes access to the safari park for two days + evening access, accommodation in Knuthenborg Camp, and final cleaning.

You can stay in Knuthenborg Camp throughout Knuthenborg Safari Park’s opening season, from April 1st to October 22nd, 2023.

 

Yes, you can definitely do that. After you have selected the arrival and departure dates in the booking calendar, the ‘add tent’ button will appear in the upper right corner. Here you can add as many tents as you need.

You are also welcome to contact us at (+45) 54 78 80 89 – press 2 (weekdays 9-15), and we will be happy to assist you with the booking.

Knuthenborg Safaripark is vast, with over 23 km of roads. Therefore, it is a requirement that you are able to get around on your own during your visit. However, it is possible to reach all of our camp areas by bicycle, so staying at Knuthenborg Camp is still an option.

You can cycle around in certain areas of the park, but in sections with dangerous animals, such as the wolves, savannah, and bison areas, you must be in a car.

Tent number 10 in Knuthenborg Camp Masai Mara is specifically designed with increased accessibility in mind. It has a ramp leading up to the tent, and there is more space indoors, including the toilet area. Like the other tents, it can accommodate up to 6 guests, with a double bed and two bunk beds.

Unfortunately, no. The tents are approved by the fire authorities for a maximum of 6 people, and it is not allowed to have more than that in the tent.

Cancellation of your stay can be done free of charge up to 21 days before the planned arrival.

In case of cancellation of your stay 7 days before the planned arrival, a fee of 30% of the price will be charged.

For cancellations made later than 7 days before the planned arrival or in case of no-show, no compensation will be offered.

Cancellation of additional purchases such as experiences, meals, and linen can be done without charge until 3 business days before arrival. Cancellations made later will not result in a reduction of the price.
