In 1972, the Duke of Bedford had the idea of building the largest safari park in Europe with partners from America. In 1974, this plan was realized and, since then, the Sepe family has run the park. When it opened the investors had spent about 20 million deutschmarks. In 1983, the park was extensively renovated. Nowadays the park consists of three different areas: Serengeti-Safari, Jungle-Safari and Adventure-Safari. In 1996, Serengeti Park was the first to release white rhinos, bred in Europe, back into the wild.
In 2003, Serengeti Park admitted its first white tiger. 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. 23 March 2006 saw the first African elephant calf to be born in north Germany for 30 years.
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. The zookeeper suffered minor injuries. Kusini arrived at the zoo 18 months prior to the incident as part of a breeding program and was reportedly struggling to adjust.[1]
Zonesedit
Serengeti Park is divided into three zones: Serengeti-Safari, Jungle-Safari and Adventure-Safari.
The Serengeti-Safari covers an area of 110 hectares (270 acres), has around 1,500 animals living in the open and can be visited by car. Alternatively visitors can use a Serengeti Bus. The zone is divided into 17 sections.

Since early 2003, four white tigers have been added to Animal World in a new enclosure. The tigers were formerly part of Circus Barum and were given to Serengeti Park by Gerd Siemoneit-Barum on being retired. In December 2006, the first successful breeding of a tiger was achieved with the birth of tiger cub Paul.
In Adventure-Safari there are over 40 different fairground rides suitable for children and adults, such as the Roller Coaster or Ferris Wheel. The Serengeti restaurant, Manyara, is also located there.
Since 2007, it has been possible to stay at Serengeti Park. Eighty holiday homes with a total of over 200 beds are available. In addition, there is a conference room with around 200 seats.
