Eriksberg Hotell och Safaripark i Blekinge

Eriksberg Hotell & Safaripark

Which animals will you meet at Eriksberg?

 

The European Bison – Europe's mightiest comeback

When you see your first bison – a 900-kilo bull standing two meters tall at the shoulder – you'll understand why Eriksberg calls itself the Nordic region's largest safari park. This is the European bison, an animal that went extinct in the wild but is now preserved here in one of the world's most important breeding programs.

At Eriksberg: 45 bison, including a historic twin calving in 2012 (only the second time in Sweden)

 

Père David's Deer – The Chinese Prince

With their distinctive branched antlers and elegant movements, Père David's deer are Eriksberg's most exotic residents. The species was extinct in the wild, but here in Blekinge, 80 animals have found their home – the largest population in Scandinavia.

 

Red Deer & Fallow Deer – majesty in motion

400 red deer rut here every autumn, their trumpeting calls echoing across Mahraviken bay. The fallow deer – 750 individuals with their iconic white spots – are so comfortable in their environment that they often graze right beside the road.

 

Mouflon Sheep – Europe's wild sheep

Bengt Berg imported these mountain sheep from Austria in the 1940s. Today, Eriksberg's mouflon flock is considered one of the purest in Sweden – a living time capsule of European fauna.

Why Eriksberg is the Nordic Region's most unique destination

Imagine this: You're standing on your private terrace as dawn paints the sky pink. Before you stretches a savannah where 40 European bison – the continent's largest land mammals – graze alongside red deer and wild boar. Overhead, white-tailed eagles with 2.5-meter wingspans circle above.
