Stay overnight

When you book an overnight stay at Knuthenborg Camp, all guests staying overnight receive access to the park for 2 full days (day of arrival and day of departure).

In addition to the regular daytime experience, both the evening and the morning are yours to enjoy exactly as you wish. You can see the list of exciting activities outside opening hours here on this page.

In all our camps, you will find a fully equipped kitchen with kitchen utensils, refrigerator, electric hotplates, toaster, and kettle. Please remember that you can order our delicious camp meals to make your stay even easier.

Included in the camp are toilet paper, kitchen roll, dishcloths and tea towels, as well as hand soap and washing-up liquid. You will also find soft pillows and warm duvets – bed linen can be added, so you do not need to bring anything from home.

In addition, there is a high chair and travel cot in all camps – please bring your own linen and duvet for these.

The temperature in the units varies greatly depending on the outdoor temperature.

In all units, you will find soft, warm duvets that have been specially selected for overnight stays in cabins and safari tents.

Especially during the outer season, we recommend bringing extra warm clothing so you can keep warm at night. This is particularly important in Camp Masai Mara, Camp Samburu and Camp Ruaha, where the tents are not insulated.

See our recommended packing list here.

In our tents (Masai Mara, Samburu, Ruaha), cabins (Wood Buffalo, Zov Tigra), and in Gl. Toldbod, up to 6 people can stay. In the historic houses, up to 4 people can stay.

Unfortunately, it is not permitted to exceed 6 (or 4) people – even if the 7th (or 5th) person is a child. Our camps are approved by the fire authorities for 6 (or 4) people, and it is not allowed to exceed this number, regardless of the age of the guests. Here, we count “heads” – not age.

When you book an overnight stay in a camp, 2 full days in Knuthenborg are included.
This means you have access to the park from opening time on your arrival day until closing time on your departure day. See opening hours throughout the year here.

You can also choose to arrive later in the day if that suits you better.

Check-in normally takes place from 15:00, but please remember to read your booking confirmation, as changes may occur during certain periods.

If you have ordered camp meals, these can be collected from 15:00–17:00 at the collection point in Eatery Mombasa.

From the time the park closes and for the following half hour, we ask you to remain in your unit so that the evening hosts can easily guide the last day guests out of the park. After that, the evening is yours to enjoy in the park – however, only on foot unless otherwise stated.

At check-in, you will be informed when we ask you to return to your unit.

The next morning, you may once again move around the park on foot until 10:00, when the park opens and you may use your car again.

Please leave your camp no later than 11:00 and return the key to Guest Service no later than 12:00.

After that, you are welcome to remain in the park until closing time.

Here you will find four different types of accommodation: cabins, tents, houses, and stays outside the park.

Our cosy cabins are located in the areas by Tigerskoven and Ulveskoven. Here, you can sleep beside a large panoramic window that is 4 cm thick – the animals can hardly get any closer. Up to 6 people can stay in our cabins.

Our safari tents are truly unique and are located by the beautiful Elephantslette, the lively Abeskov, and the large Savanna. From the spacious terrace, you can enjoy your meals or evening coffee right next to trumpeting elephants or curious giraffes. Up to 6 people can stay in our tents.

The atmospheric historic houses offer a very special overnight experience. You will have a part of the park almost to yourselves, where you can enjoy the small authentic lodges that once belonged to the castle staff. Up to 4 people can stay in the houses.

Stays outside the park give you the opportunity to explore the local area after a full day in our exciting park. Or you can simply relax in your accommodation and look forward to a new day in Knuthenborg.
