Burgers' Safari is a section within Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem, in the province of Gelderland. Burgers' Zoo was founded by Johan Burgers in 1913 in 's-Heerenberg, relocated to Arnhem in 1923, and has remained a family business since its inception.

Burgers' Safari is a specific habitat within the zoo designed for savanna animals. When it opened in 1968, it was the first safari park on the European mainland to feature lions. Visitors can experience a drive-through or walk-through environment that mimics the African savanna, allowing for close observation of animals such as lions, zebras, and giraffes in a spacious, naturalistic setting. This attraction offers a unique educational experience, highlighting conservation efforts and the behavior of African wildlife.

The zoo is a significant cultural and recreational destination in the Netherlands, known for its innovative habitats and commitment to animal welfare. Always check current opening hours before visiting.
