Straussenland Nedlitz

If you want to experience a real safari adventure with children, Nedlitz near Gommern offers one of the most charming excursion destinations in the region: Straußenland Nedlitz. On five hectares of pasture, the world's largest birds live here and can be petted, fed, and admired.

Safari, Petting, and Standing on an Ostrich Egg

Straußenland Nedlitz has been run as a family business for over 22 years. The 5-hectare farm was created in 2004 with great attention to detail. Since then, families from all over the region have been coming here because this excursion destination is simply something you won’t find anywhere else. The farm is home to about 35 African ostriches of various age groups, 3 emus, and recently 10 South African guinea fowl. Straußenland offers visitors the opportunity to get to know these fascinating animals during a guided tour.

During the hourly safari tours, visitors walk along the paths, feeding and petting the world’s largest birds, learning a lot about the animals for 45 minutes. If visitors want to go directly into the pasture with the animals, there are also Adventure Tours, which take you into the pasture by pickup. These tours must be booked in advance and last 1.5 hours. What we find particularly exciting: Young and old guests can stand on an ostrich egg, the largest and strongest egg in the world.

Beyond the animals, the grounds offer much more: a small adventure playground, a table tennis table, and a volleyball court invite children to play, while adults can relax on the idyllically designed farm or enjoy the view towards the Emu-Lookout. Afterwards, a stop at the Farm Café is worthwhile: here you’ll find waffles or scrambled eggs, egg liqueur, and egg liqueur cake in a jar. If you’re looking for a souvenir, you’ll also find it: the premises include a Farm Shop offering exclusive ostrich products such as ostrich eggs and African handicrafts.

Prices and Arrival

Admission to the front area of the facility with café, shop, playground, and volleyball court is free. Farm access, including a 45-minute guided tour, costs 11.50 Euros for adults and 6.00 Euros for children.
