Come and experience the night life with a difference!
The world's first wildlife park built for visits at night, the Night Safari is not like any ordinary zoo illuminated by the night or a modern version of nocturnal houses found in many zoos around the globe.
Nestled in 40 hectares of lush secondary forest, the Night Safari offers guests the unique experience of exploring wildlife in a tropical jungle at night. Through the use of subtle lighting technique, guests are able to view over 1,000 nocturnal animals of 100 species in vast naturalistic habitats.
The birth of the Night Safari is a result of a combination of factors. The overwhelming response to night tours conducted at the Zoo in the late 1980s indicated a demand for wholesome night entertainment. Displaying tropical animals at night seemed ideal since 90% of them are nocturnal and, therefore, most active after dusk. Moreover, Singapore is blessed with sunset taking place punctually at 7.30pm, dependably cool nights and little rainfall. These operational advantages make outdoor night attraction perfect.
The Night Safari took four years to plan and three years to construct. It was officially opened on May 26, 1994 by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.
Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) is the parent company of the award-winning attractions – Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park. WRS strives to be a world class leisure attraction, providing excellent exhibits of animals (and birds) presented in their natural environment, for the purpose of conservation, education and recreation. Last year (2005), Singapore Zoo served more than 1.3 million visitors, the Jurong Bird Park, 830,000 visitors and the Night Safari, more than 1 million visitors. WRS parks have been conferred the Best Leisure Attraction Experience Award at the Singapore Tourism Awards for 16 times. The record achievement affirms WRS parks’ status as Singapore’s premier leisure venues.

The world's first night safari park, a natural jungle covering 40 hectares that houses 1,200 nocturnal animals. 110 exotic species can be seen in their habitat for e.g. tigers, hyenas, golden jackals, cape buffalos, blue sheep and the rare horned rhinoceros. The easiest way to familiarise yourself with the large grounds is to take a train ride. At the end of the tram ride, your tour guide will take you on a walking trail to see some of the animals at close quarters. After which, you will witness the animal show.
