Balatonederics is a small resort town next to Lake Balaton in Hungary. It was first mentioned in 1262. The Roman Catholic Church in the village dates from that time, although its neogothic exterior is from 1870.[1]

In Balatonederics an Africa Museum and zoo can be visited. It was founded Endre Nagy in 1984 and houses hunting trophies and etnographic artefacts from Tanzania.
