The first nocturnal park in the world, Night Safari Singapore presents over thousand nocturnal animals in their natural after dark habitats. They also have experiences that instil lifelong memories.
This is a unique experience that sits you right in the midst of a jungle. Indulge in the fine three course dinner intact with dessert and beverages in the country's first tipi tent; all amidst the serenity of a forest. The location also provides picturesque views of the large and imposing Seletar Reservoir. Take the time to walk through the Ankole Terrace where you can treat yourself to views of the Ankole cattle grazing just a few meters from you. Hidden amid the dark forest is a secluded campsite that you can visit. Many of the most sought after animals in the zoo turn up to the same area, making it easy for you to witness creatures you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. To top a mesmerizing evening off, drop by at the Creatures of the Night show for a jaw dropping performance.
Watching lions feast on their prey is something that is always awe inspiring and you are bound to be treated to a similar sight here too. You can watch the big cats feast on their meals provided by the keepers. Keep in mind that this occurs only on selected nights and the days that the feeding happens are Fridays, Saturdays and any public holidays. If you want to see the lions being fed, drop in to the Lion Lookout at 8.00PM. the spectacle goes on for an hour. If it is the tigers you want to see, go to the Malayan Tiger Exhibit at 8.30PM, much like the lion exhibit, it runs for an hour. Such a site is rare for most people, and it is recommended you drop by if possible. Being a small city-state, almost all hotels and serviced apartments in Singapore situated nearby such as Ascott Orchard Singapore are a few minutes away from the night safari, so dropping by during the night is not a hard task.
With a buggy to take you on a tour of the entire zoo, the Safari Adventurer Tour is best for when you are going with friends or family and would like some privacy. A qualified guide will accompany you throughout the tour, giving you inside stories on the animals and educating you with little known facts. He or she can also answer any doubts you have about the park, the animals residing or about the conservation of the species present.
A dining experience you would not find anywhere else, the Gourmet Safari Express is where you can have a great dinner as you traverse among the nocturnal animals aboard a tram. You are served a complete five course meal under candle lights that perfectly complement the mood and surroundings. There is a wide range when it comes to the meals, with international and local cuisine on the table. You will be offered free flowing beverages too.
