The Cerza Safari Lodge is a unique establishment located in the heart of the Cerza wildlife reserve in Normandy. Offering an exceptional experience, this apartement complex allows you to immerse yourself completely in the world of wildlife, while enjoying modern comforts. You'll be staying in the commune of Herminal-les-Vaux, just ten minutes from Lisieux and 30 km from Deauville. From Paris, allow around 2 hours 15 minutes to get there.

Discover the area

After visiting the Cerza Zoo... you can stay with the animals! You'll wake up to the sound of monkeys calling or exotic birds singing, and you'll probably come across a wallaby on your way to breakfast! The lodges, like the other types of accommodation, at Cerza Safari Lodge are built to offer you an immersive experience as close to nature as possible. You'll be staying in accommodation that looks like a real African chalet, with an uninterrupted view of the animal enclosures. You can admire the animals from your private terrace.

Family activities on site

For precise information on the activities available on site (opening date, club age, baby pack contents, etc.), click here!

Booking your accommodation at Cerza Safari Lodge includes entry passes to the zoo. These passes give you unlimited access to the park for your whole family, from the day you arrive until the day you leave. Your accommodation is available from 4pm, so if you wish you can arrive in the morning (between 9am and 11.30am) and collect your passes from the Welcome Lodge. This way, you can make the most of your stay with your family.

The prestigious Cerza zoo is home to over 800 animals and 120 species, which you can discover in a variety of ways, depending on your family's tastes. Allow a full day to visit the entire park. There are different routes to choose from: the red route with its savannah animals, and the yellow route with its wild animals from all over the world! In the tropical area, your children will discover reptiles, fish and amphibians.

The Safari train will also amaze the whole family. Along the 25-minute journey you'll come across bears, wild dogs and giraffes. There's also a mini-farm for children to get up close and personal with the animals: dwarf goats, turkeys, Vietnamese pigs! Finally, the zoo's 3D cinema will take the whole family on an unforgettable journey across continents, oceans and areas. Access to all these activities is included in the zoo admission pass.

The restaurant

Cerza Safari Lodge offers a breakfast service served at reception from 8.30am to 10am (included in your stay). In addition, there are two restaurants in the zoo open only at lunchtime, one fast-food-style, the other with table service. A takeaway service is available during the summer.

Discover the region and family activities

You are staying around 30 km from Deauville and its magnificent beaches. The D-Day landing beaches, Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur and Deauville are just a few kilometres away. You can organise family excursions to discover the history, culture and gastronomy of this beautiful French region.

Every year at Familytrip we discover new family activities close to our accommodation: zoo, aquarium, etc. If we have already negotiated activities, they can be booked with a discount directly online after you have chosen your accommodation, and you can discover them by clicking here!

    Very beautiful zoo with a lot of animals. We did not know but you can rent a cabin inside zoo and spend a night or two. You are surrounded by forest and animals. You can go by food around the zoo, it will take about 3-4 hours of walk and there is 2 "routes" you can take, also you can go with a train in a safari-like experience :) There is also a restaurant and gift shop. Entrance fee was 21euro/pp Totally worth visiting if you are around!

    Stayed at the Safari Lodge for a weekend visit to the Zoo. The accommodation was functional and well maintained. Check-in was easy and well organised. We really enjoyed listening to the various animals at the zoo during the evening: Lions roaring, Gibbons howling etc. Will return!

    We went to Cerza in July this year and we had a really, really good stay and Cerza and will definitely be visiting again. My daughter had a fantastic time at the park and even in our lodge (#23) - the wallabies and the deer and everything was so wonderful. We booked via Four Seasons for the entire week and had driven there via the Ferry. Since it was a full week, we had a very relaxing time and we also drove around to various other towns in Normandy. Can't recommend this enough, and also appreciate all the tips provided by the English lady who handles the Four Seasons France bookings in the UK. Definitely worth every penny and would definitely visit again. (The Lodges are simply amazing - self catering with a full kitchen, lots of room to sleep, with heating AND air conditioning. What more can you ask for?!)
