Night Safari, located in the forest of Mandai, is a unique and beloved attraction in Singapore. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Night Safari offers visitors the opportunity to view animals in their nocturnal habitats, providing a one-of-a-kind experience of observing wildlife in the darkness of the night.
One of the exciting new additions to Night Safari is the Pangolin Trail, a dedicated walking trail that showcases native wildlife and Southeast Asian species such as the Sunda pangolin and binturong. This 280m-long trail will allow guests to encounter a variety of animal species, including the elusive Sunda pangolin, slow loris, binturong, oriental small-clawed otter, and spotted giant flying squirrel. The Pangolin Trail will be the first fully sheltered walking trail at Night Safari, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the jungle and its mysterious denizens at night under all weather conditions.
Dr. Cheng Wen-Haur, Deputy CEO and Chief Life Sciences Officer of Mandai Wildlife Group, highlights the importance of the new Pangolin Trail in raising awareness about the conservation of critically endangered species like the Sunda pangolin. The trail aims to offer guests a unique experience of observing and learning about these shy and elusive creatures in their natural habitat.
In addition to the Pangolin Trail, Night Safari offers a range of experiences for visitors to enjoy. The Creatures of the Night Show, held at the Amphitheatre, showcases the fascinating behaviors of nocturnal animals and is a must-see attraction. The Night Safari tram ride provides an overview of the park, allowing guests to observe animals from the comfort of their seats while listening to informative commentary.
For a more intimate encounter with the wildlife, visitors can explore the various walking trails at Night Safari, including the Fishing Cat Trail, Leopard Trail, East Lodge Trail, and the upcoming Pangolin Trail. These trails offer a closer look at the animals and their habitats, providing a unique perspective on the nocturnal world.
Some of the must-see animal exhibits at Night Safari include the Asian bull elephant, Asian lion, slow loris, Nile hippo, Malayan tapir, Tasmanian devil, sugar gliders, Indian rhino, and palm civets. Each exhibit offers a glimpse into the diverse and fascinating wildlife that calls Night Safari home.
Throughout the year, Night Safari hosts various events and activities for visitors to enjoy, adding to the excitement and entertainment of the park. From seasonal events like Secret-Wild-erland to special feeding sessions with the animals, there is always something new and exciting to experience at Night Safari.
