ZOO and NIGHT SAFARI

Singapore Zoological Gardens and The Night Safari

Did you know that Singapore’s Night Safari is the world’s FIRST wildlife park built for visits at night? Also did you know that the Singapore Zoological Gardens is acclaimed one of the world’s most SPECTACULAR zoos?

Impressed with the facts? Don’t just take my word for it. What are you waiting for? If you want a taste of it, let us embark on this journey together and let me take you through this fun-filled experience!

Our first destination is the zoo. The Singapore zoo is an attractive destination for families. I am sure the kids would enjoy the experience as their naturally curious minds would make them hyper active through out the journey. When I was there with my little cousin, she was so excited to see the different species of animals and could not wait to discover more!

Upon arrival, the service provider will take a picture of you and your loved ones, which you can collect after the whole tour. You just have to go to the entrance and you can print it out, but of course there is a price to pay for it. But the experience is what matters right?

Haven’t had your breakfast yet? Then come join the animals for breakfast! With the otters, python and Orang utan in close proximity, it was a wild breakfast I will never forget!

Go on board the tram to have an overview of the attractions. Plus, it will be an educational tour as it provides information about the animals. However, taking the tram was not adventurous enough for me! I got my feet up so that I will be able to take in the splendid view of the whole zoo.

If it is raining, don’t fret! There are ponchos available and also sheltered walkways to keep you dry. What makes Singapore Zoo unique is the “open” concept providing home to more than 3600 species.

The zoo has been sensitive enough to provide services for the physically disabled. This attracts many tourists as it caters to almost everyone with the facilities available. It also has ‘kidzworld’ which recently just opened. Where the kids can have fun! With facilities like the playground, amphitheatre and enjoyable rides the kids will definitely have an exciting time. It obviously was fun for my little cousin!

Enough about the facilities, let’s talk about the main attraction. The animals of course! Exploring the whole place was really exhilarating for me! From the Reptile garden to Cat Country, next to Wild Africa and Primate Kingdom. Here's a sneak peak of what's in store!

If it is already evening but you are still full of energy, then come to the night safari, located just beside the Zoological Gardens! The tram ride comes with the package. I have to say it is worth the price. I board the tram as it is needed to reach most places that are not within walking distance. Besides, it is already night time and I sure don't want to get lost! The tram ride provided will take you on an exciting trail throughout the safari. There are pit stops enabling you to do some exploring yourself. Seeing the nocturnal animals continue their activities still past evening or just lunging for their preys, was definitely an eye-opener for me!

There are three trails namely the Fishing Cat, Leapord Trails and Forest Giant trails. I didn't manage to catch the creatures of the night show. But if you have the chance, it is a must-go! Seeing the animals perform and demonstrating their survival skills, I am sure you will be amazed!

After a long day, it’s time to head back home. Don’t forget to get a souvenir and I hope the journey had been an exciting one for you as it was for me!
