The park houses both the common moose (Alces alces) and the less common white moose, a rare genetic variant.
Bison, which were once near extinction in Europe, are kept in a separate, large-scale enclosure within the park.
The safari trail is specifically designed to minimize environmental disruption to the forest floor and animal habitats.
The park's safari train allows visitors who do not wish to use their own vehicles to tour the enclosure.
The forest environment is intentionally managed to provide natural browse for the animals, reducing the reliance on supplemental feeding.
Smålandet Moose Safari is a drive-through forest park in Markaryd, Sweden, specialized in the observation of free-roaming elk (moose) and bison. Visitors traverse a designated track by car or take the park's own safari train to encounter the animals in a natural, large-scale forest environment. The habitat is designed to facilitate safe, close-range viewing while allowing the wildlife significant freedom of movement. Beyond the driving loop, the facility includes a visitor center, a café, and designated walking areas. The park emphasizes educational interaction and conservation, highlighting the role of the moose as Sweden's national animal. It is situated in the scenic landscape of southern Småland, utilizing the natural terrain to house animals throughout the year. The safari route spans approximately three kilometers through dense forest and open fields.
