No safari is complete without a night game drive – here are 10 of the best

By Stephanie Vermillion

A giraffe in a setting sun in Etosha National Park Namibia.

Shivers sped down my spine as a hyena crept into our Jeep’s headlights in the night. Then another hyena joined, and further back, we saw a third and fourth set of eyes. We heard piercing cackles, and our safari guide Kebby Arabang, resident tour director for Abercrombie & Kent in Botswana , told us it was a hyena calling for back up in a stand-off with a lion.

We knew the lion – a lone male gorging on buffaloes near camp. We’d also seen the hyena – their den, their cubs, and their paw prints by my tent. I enjoyed dozens of game drives throughout my time in Botswana, but none left me as awestruck as this twilight expedition.

Around the world, a growing number of lodges now offer night safaris for travellers. These trips pair the animal kingdom’s after-dark excitement – up to 70 per cent of species are active from dusk to dawn, after all – with a soft place to land and dine between excursions.

Ready to book your adventure? Here are 10 of our favourite night safaris for watching wildlife via night-vision binoculars in Tanzania , exploring the moonlit Amazon via canoe, and more.

Africa Botswana Sanctuary Stanley's Camp

Stanley’s Camp

See the Okavango Delta after dusk

Okavango delta, botswana.

Botswana’s vast Okavango Delta is home to hundreds of diverse species, including many after-dark revellers: hyenas, lions, leopards, bush babies, and pangolins, to name a few. Night safaris aren’t allowed everywhere in the delta, but you can enjoy one with a stay at  Sanctuary Retreats’ Stanley’s Camp – the site of my eye-popping night drive on  A&K’s Botswana Safari in Style itinerary. The luxe tented camp flings you into the wild, with porches and a plunge pool overlooking a watering hole, plus inventive local and international cuisine made even more enjoyable by the soundtrack of nearby hippo grunts. The property’s private concession surrounds provide guests the opportunities for unique Okavango Delta experiences, from night drives to walking safaris.

Usangu Expedition Camp

Watch wildlife via thermal monocular technology

Ruaha national park, tanzania.

The new  Usangu Expedition Camp in southern Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park centres on citizen science, from big-cat collaring by day to watching and photographing wildlife with cutting-edge thermal monocular night vision technology after dark. These night safaris let you admire the animals without the disruptive beams of a flashlight, meaning creatures like leopards are undisturbed – and therefore more likely to attempt a hunt. While nothing beats watching African animals at night, recounting the tales by a starlit campfire back at Usangu is a close second.

Sacha Lodge

Sacha Lodge

Admire the sights and sounds of the Amazon after dark

Yasuní national park, ecuadorian amazon.

Sunset sparks a frenzy of activity in the Amazon . You can see and hear the rainforest’s twilight festivities for yourself with a stay at  Sacha Lodge , an upscale escape nestled along Ecuador’s Yasuní National Park – one of the Amazon’s most biodiverse pockets. During the day, snag a bird’s eye view via Sacha’s 940-foot-long Canopy Walk bridge, then admire the world’s largest rainforest by night with an after-dark jungle hike or a starlit canoe trip to spot the caiman (a relative of the alligator), one of the Amazon’s largest known predators. Keep the fun going after hours with more listening games from your room’s private balcony.

Bori Safari Lodge

Bori Safari Lodge

Search for tigers, leopards, and wolves with a naturalist

Satpura national park, india.

Few of India 's National Parks allow safaris at night – arguably the best time to see the elusive tigers – but, luckily, Satpura Tiger Reserve is one of them. Satpura night drives run through the park’s buffer zones, and offer the chance to witness a host of creatures: leopards, sloths, wild dogs, and, of course, tigers. Book a night at the eight-suite  Bori Safari Lodge , a tranquil getaway within minutes of the park gate that offers a plunge pool with forest views, al-fresco dining, and naturalist-led safaris around the clock.  

Rincón Del Socorro

Rincón Del Socorro

See nocturnal species and stars in a biodiverse freshwater reserve

Iberá natural reserve, argentina.

More than 4,000 plant and animal species reside in  Argentina’s 1.3 million-acre Iberá Natural Reserve . Wildlife across the protected area’s streams, lagoons, swamps, and marshes have bounced back after decades of commercial hunting and illegal animal trading. Now, you can admire the biodiversity in one of the most mesmerising ways: a night safari, with on-foot or 4x4 vehicle excursions to see viscachas, grey foxes, and crab-eating raccoons.  AndBeyond offers the experience as part of select South America tours. Book your own trip to the reserve via the 11-room Rincón del Socorro , a reinvigorated cattle ranch that offers expert-led night safaris, onsite cycling trails, and a reserve-view restaurant with farm-to-table produce and traditional Argentinian barbecues. 

Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri

Search for lions, aardwolves, honey badgers, and bush babies under the stars

Olare motorogi conservancy, kenya.

Most wildlife travellers dream about visiting Kenya’s  Masai Mara National Reserve , but there’s a lesser-known and significantly less crowded safari escape just northwest of it: the 35,000-acre  Olare Motorogi Conservancy . The getaway, known for its action-packed lion viewing, protects the ecosystem’s animals and supports the local Masai people via community-based tourism . Unlike the Masai Mara National Reserve, night drives are allowed in Olare Motorogi Conservancy; they’re available via  Mahali Mzuri – Richard Branson ’s posh 12-tent safari camp. You may see big cats like leopards or lions, or rarer aardwolves, porcupines, honey badgers, and bush babies. But a night safari isn’t the only time to catch these elusive creatures. From the camp’s outdoor dining to each tent’s private viewing deck, you can see and hear the conservancy’s inhabitants around the clock.

Scenic View Of Lake In Forest Against Sky Photo taken in Skinnskatteberg Sweden

Skinnskatteberg

Listen for howls on a wolf safari

Skinnskatteberg, sweden.

Sweden’s elusive wolf is easier seen than heard – and your best bet at either is after dark. On an overnight wolf safari with  Amazing Nature Scandinavia , expert guides take you out on foot, and in a van, through central Sweden’s liveliest wolf spots. Actually spotting the elusive wolves can be tricky, but there’s an 80 to 90 per cent chance you’ll hear their howls. This seasonal summer adventure pairs with camping in a wolf-pack area; bookend the trip with a stay at a unique central Sweden getaway like  Nasets Marcusgard . The forested property features quirky overnight stays – think: a cylindrical pine-flanked pod with potential deer and fox sightings from bed – with a central gathering place for meals, a heated pool and sauna, and a collection of onsite and nearby hiking trails.

Nam EtPhou Louey

Nam Et-Phou Louey

Cruise past leopards, gibbons, porcupines, and owls

Nam et-phou louey national protected area, laos.

A  late-night boat adventure through Laos’ remote Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park provides a first-hand glimpse at the country’s budding conservation success story. The trip starts with an evening boat ride, followed by a hike and dinner by a campfire, then the ultimate twilight treat: floating down the river beneath a blanket of darkness – with only one torchlight per boat to illuminate the potential leopards, porcupines, and gibbons en route. The journey concludes with a night in the park ecolodge’s traditional Lao bungalows.

Local guides run the tour with support from partners like the Wildlife Conservation Society; this tourism model encourages park-adjacent communities to protect the region’s endangered species.  Book it as a standalone expedition with pre- and post-trip stays at  Xayphasouk Hotel , a modest property with spacious rooms and a hotel restaurant in one of the closest main towns, Sam Nuea (around four hours away by car). Alternatively, join a Laos itinerary by tour operator  Audley for an overnight in Nam Et-Phou Louey, then connect to your choice of half a dozen other destinations throughout the country. 

Warrigal Highland Rainforest Reserve

Warrigal Highland Rainforest Reserve

Take a moonlit walk among Australian wildlife

Warrigal highland rainforest preserve, australia.

Admire the flying fox, tree kangaroo, ringtail possum, and a host of other tough-to-see Australian critters with a  Wild Watch night safari hosted by longtime birding and wildlife photography guide Jonathan Munro. The outing takes place in the largest single tract of tropical rainforest remaining in Australia , in the Misty Mountains southwest of Cairns (the gateway to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef ). When the weather is crisp and clear, it's typical for those exploring to see 30 to 40 animals in a two-hour evening tour. Wild Watch also offers tours that display the area's orchids, butterflies, dragonflies, birds, reptiles, and more. Book a night nearby at the sleek new  Mercure Hotel Cairns, a bright and breezy 75-room getaway with a poolside restaurant serving fresh, locally sourced fare. The property, located near the main city centre, opened in January 2023. (Transportation is provided via Wild Watch.) 

Everglades National Park  Canoe

Everglades National Park

See (and hear) the Everglades by night

Everglades national park, florida.

Most visit the biodiverse Everglades National Park by day, but half the fun is after dark – particularly on an  expert-led paddling tour . Possible nighttime wildlife sightings run the gamut: horned owls, bobcats, frogs, and even panthers. The soundtrack for the evening? A cacophony of lubber grasshoppers and frogs, who keep the entertainment going well into the morning. The tour runs for half the year, from December through March . Glamp nearby in Everglades Adventure Tours’ low-key Chickee Huts , a series of bungalows built by the Seminole Indians with thatched roofs, screened-in walls, and swamp and grassland panoramas. Alternatively, book a night at the luxe  JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort . Its upscale rooms – each with its own balcony – overlook the gulf and Marco Island’s powder-sugar sand. The property is roughly 35 minutes to the west of Everglades National Park.

The adult ticket costs S$3 while kids between 3 to 12 years of age pay only S$1. 

To get to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, other bus service  Safari Gate Buses are also convenient.

You can choose to travel via Central Expressway (CTE) or Pan Island Expressway (PIE).  Get Directions

Taxis also follow the same route. 

Car Parking

The Night Safari shares its parking slot with the Singapore Zoo. 

There are two parking areas – one is a covered car park while the second is an open-air parking space. 

Cost of parking

The parking charges at Singapore Night Safari work out cheaper if you are carrying a cash card.

First 10 minutes: Free Next 1 hour: S$3 per hour Every additional hour: S$2 per hour

The maximum parking charges for a car get capped at S$10. 

If you pay by cash, parking your car will cost you S$10 for the day.

Jurong bird park to Night Safari, Singapore

Some tourists plan Jurong Bird Park in the morning and Singapore Night Safari later in the day. 

After exploring Jurong Bird Park, you can do the Night Safari because it starts from 7.15 pm and instead of walking you can explore the nocturnal Zoo on a Tram. 

SAExpress coaches run between the Bird Park and Night Safari.

The bus leaves Jurong Bird Park’s coach park at 4.45 pm and reaches Singapore Night Safari at 5.15 pm. 

This gives you ample time to grab something to eat, stand in the queue, and get in for Singapore Zoo’s Night Safari at 7.15 pm.

From Thursday to Sunday, Night Safari Singapore opens at 6.30 pm and closes at midnight. It also remains open on Public Holidays and on the eve of a Public Holiday.

The last entry into the Night Safari Park is at 11.15 pm.

The wildlife attraction remains closed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The ticket counters open early at 5.30 pm and close by 11 pm.

The best time to visit Singapore Night Safari is 7.15 pm, which is the first time slot.

That’s when the gates open, and you can be one of the first to get in. 

This is the best slot because it helps you time your attendance at the shows, pick the Tram ride, and plan your dinner to perfection.

After you purchase your Singapore Night Safari tickets, you will get an email with instructions to select a time slot for your visit. You can choose from 7.15 pm, 8.15 pm, 9.15 pm, or 10.15 pm.

And on the day of your visit, you must be at the Night Safari Park’s entrance at the time mentioned on your tickets. 

Once inside the Night Safari Park, everybody rushes for the Night Safari Tram ride. As a result, there are long queues for the Tram. 

After the Tram ride is over, they all rush for the shows, crowding them too. 

That’s why we recommend you do precisely the opposite. 

Once you enter at 7.15 pm, go straight to the Creatures of the Night Show at the outdoor amphitheater.

The official time for this animal show is 7.15 pm, but since the visitors are just walking, you get a few minutes to settle down. 

Creatures of the Night Show lasts 25 minutes, after which you can get back to the Entrance Courtyard to watch the 7-minute long Thumbuakar Performance. 

The second Thumbuakar Performance of the day is at 8 pm, which means you may have to wait for 10 minutes or so before the show begins.

By 8.15 pm, you will have seen both the shows and will be all set for the Tram Ride. 

Even though there are long lines for the Tram Rides, the crowd management is efficient, and within 15 minutes, one can board the Night Safari Tram. 

Tip:   Buy Singapore Night Safari tickets online to save yourself at least an hour of waiting time. 

Most visitors spend around three hours at Singapore Night Safari.

Within three hours, you can go on the Safari Tram ride, walk one of the animal trails, see Creatures of the Night Show and Thumbuakar Performance, and also have dinner.

If you are in a hurry, you can skip the Trail walk and dinner and explore Singapore Night Safari in about two hours. 

The Singapore Night Safari has two shows, both of which are popular with tourists. 

Since both these Night Safari shows are in massive demand, we recommend you reach the venue 15 minutes before they start. 

Thumbuakar Performance

This show welcomes you to the Night Safari. 

Pyro warriors demonstrate their fire-twirling and flame-throwing skills to the beat of jungle drums.

This fire show happens at the Entrance Courtyard, and the objective is to get you all revved up for the Wild Night Safari experience. 

The fire eaters perform thrice on weekdays and four times on weekends. 

Weekdays: 6.45 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm Friday, Saturday and eve of Public Holidays: 6.45 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm Duration: Approx. 7 minutes

Creatures of the Night show

Creatures of the Night is Singapore Night Safari’s signature show. 

Otters, Binturongs, Civets, Heyna, and other animals display their natural talents during this interactive show.

Singapore Night Safari show

This Night Safari show happens in the big outdoor amphitheater amidst the rainforest. 

Weekdays: 7.15 pm, 8.30 pm, 9.30 pm Friday, Saturday and eve of Public Holidays: 7.15 pm, 8.30 pm, 9.30 pm, 10.30 pm Duration: Approx. 25 minutes

*Shows are weather permitting. If it rains, they can get canceled. 

Keeper chit chat is an interactive session with a wildlife expert who handles the animals.

You can opt to attend these sessions before or after your Tram ride through the 35 hectares of Singapore Night Safari.

Session with Lion’s Keeper

Location: Lion Lookout, along the Leopard Trail Timings: 8 pm and 9 pm on Friday, Saturday and eve of Public Holidays

Session with Tiger’s Keeper

The Night Safari has four trails – 

Fishing Cat Trail

Leopard trail, wallaby trail, east lodge trail.

The Singapore Night Safari map comes in handy if you decide to walk one (or many) of these trails.

Singapore Night Safari Map

Even if you decide to stick to the Tram, the Night Safari map will still help you reach the shows and find visitor services such as washrooms, restaurants, etc.

Almost a thousand animals from 100 different species inhabit the 35-hectare Night Safari Park.

Animals at Singapore Night Safari

Since more than 40% of these animals are in danger of being extinct, the Park also practices captive breeding of these species. 

When you go down this trail (either by the Tram or by walk), you get to see the nightly routine of animals such as Leopards, Lions, Civets, Porcupines, etc. 

You also get to see two fantastic walk-through exhibits with flying foxes and flying squirrels on the Leopard Trail.

Some of the other animals you are likely to spot on this trail are Eagle Owl, Giraffe, Fruit Bat, Golden Cat, Otters, Tarsier, etc. 

The Fishing Cat Trail simulates the jungles of Singapore, which host animals such as Fishing Cat, Binturong, Pangolin, etc. 

The Pangolin in Night Safari was a hit and run victim who has now recovered except for a small limp.

When your Night Safari Tram passes through this trail, you can see animals such as Barking Deer, Himalayan Tahr, Indian Gharial, Mousedeer, Striped Hyena, Small-clawed Otter, etc. 

This Night Safari Trail is accessible from the East Lodge Tram Station.

It connects the Leopard Trail to the Wallaby Trail and leads you to the section of Night Safari where animals of the savannah (Africa) and the tropics (Asia) live side by side.

Some of the animals you can spot here are Sloth Bear, Bongo, Babirusa, Anoa, Serval, Spotted Hyena, Malayan Tiger, etc. 

If you decide to walk this trail, don’t miss the chit chat with Zoo Keepers of Malayan Tigers, at 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm every Friday and Saturday. 

This Night Safari trail lines up wildlife from Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. 

The Wallaby Trail has been landscaped in the form of Australian deserts to make it as authentic as possible.

Besides the Wallaby, some of the animals you will spot here are Possum, Sugar Glider, White-lipped Python, etc. 

There are four food outlets at the Singapore Night Safari. 

1. Ulu Ulu Safari restaurant 

Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant is located at the Night Safari’s Entrance Plaza and is open from 5.30 pm to 11 pm. 

The restaurant resembles a charming village and is a perfect place to start or end your Night Safari.

You can order a la carte or opt for either the Asian or the Indian Buffet.

Ulu Ulu Asian Buffet

The Asian Buffet is designed to remind you of the traditional villages of the area. 

You can choose to eat your Asian Buffet within the cozy restaurant or dine alfresco (out in the open). 

Price: S$ 45/adult and S$ 34/child (Age 6 to 12 years) Timing: 5.30 pm to 8.15 pm daily

Ulu Ulu Indian Buffet

If you prefer an Indian touch to your dinner, opt for the Indian Buffet at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant.

The Indian Buffet works out better if you are a late eater because it is available till late. 

Price: S$ 29/adult and S$ 19/child (Age 6 to 12 years) Timing: 8.30 pm to 10.30 pm daily

2. Jungle Rotisserie

The alfresco Jungle Rotisserie restaurant is at the Entrance Courtyard and offers a ringside view of the Thumbuakar Performance, where fire eaters get on the stage.

To top it, the restaurant offers some of the best smoky meat around. 

It is open from 5.30 pm to 11 pm daily.

3. Safari Sizzles

Safari Sizzles is located at the Entrance Plaza of the Night Safari and is open daily from 5.30 pm to midnight.

They serve an excellent selection of gourmet hot dogs, fried snacks, chapati rolls, and alcoholic thirst quenchers.

4. Ben & Jerry’s

This is where all the ice cream lovers stop before or after their Night Safari. 

Since the weather is usually hot and humid, almost everyone lands up at Ben & Jerry’s. 

It is open from 5.30 pm to midnight, daily.  

Visitors have lots of interesting questions about these two attractions.

They are almost always trying to find out if Singapore Zoo and Singapore Night Safari are the same attractions, and if not what are the differences.

No, they are two different tourist attractions adjacent to each other.    Singapore Zoo is a daytime attraction, like all other Zoos.    Singapore Night Safari is a night-time attraction, which showcases nocturnal animals.  Buy Tickets !

It is hard to take sides here because both are award-winning, world-class tourist attractions.    Since they are so different, they can’t be an either-or decision.    If you are traveling to Singapore with kids or have the time on hand, it is best to see both.

Singapore Zoo opens at 8.30 am and closes at 6 pm, while the Singapore Night Safari opens at 6.30 pm and closes at midnight.    And they are within walking distance of each other.   There are two ways to visit the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari on the same day –    Option 1 This is the best approach when you are traveling with kids or elders.   Buy Singapore Zoo tickets online  (to avoid wasting time in ticketing lines), and be at the Zoo when it opens at 8.30 am. Spend 4-5 hours exploring, and then get back to your hotel and rest.   Come back at 6 pm and line up to get into the Night Safari gates, which opens at 6.30 pm    Option 2 If you are all adults or you have older kids, it is best to see both attractions one after the other.   Be at the Singapore Zoo by 1 pm, and explore it till 5 pm.    Since you have an hour and 30 minutes before the Singapore Night Safari opens, you can sit down and relax at one of the restaurants and recharge yourself.    Once the Night Safari gates open at 6.30 pm, you start your second wildlife experience of the day. 

If you can choose only one (for whatever reason!), we recommend the Singapore Night Safari.  Buy Tickets !   Inaugurated in 1994, it is the World’s first Night Safari ever.    It has been 25 years since and only two more Night Safaris have come up in rest of the World – Taiping Night Safari (in 2003) and Chiang Mai Night Safari (in 2006).    In comparison, there are more than 10,000 Zoos in the World.

There are lots of differences between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari. We list them below –   Time:  Singapore Zoo is a daytime attraction, while the Night Safari is a night-time attraction. Weather:  If you don’t go early in the day, Singapore Zoo can get hot and humid. In sharp contrast Singapore Night Safari is much cooler. Duration:  You need at least five hours to explore the Zoo, whereas you can explore the Night Safari in three hours or less. Exploration:  At the Zoo, you get to explore the animals at your own pace. At the Night Safari, the exploration happens at the Tram’s pace. Crowd:  Since the Zoo is open for longer hours the crowd seems spread out and the Night Safari seems crowded because it is only open for five hours per day. Animals:  At the Singapore Zoo, you get to see all the animals, while at the Singapore Night Safari, you can only see the nocturnal animals Cost:  At approximately S$48 for an adult ticket the Zoo is cheaper than the Night Safari, where the tickets are priced at S$50. Photos:  At the Singapore Zoo, you can take photographs, but you can’t during the Night Safari because it is dark and flash is not allowed.

night safari rain

Most kids just love animals, especially the exotic ones that you can only see at the zoo or in remote parts of the world! If you live in Singapore or are just visiting, you are probably reading this article because you are interested in visiting the Singapore Night Safari with your baby, toddler or child and are unsure what to expect.

Recently Wildlife Reserves Singapore upgraded our family Zoo Annual Pass to include all four parks (thank you WRS), so we decided to finally check out the Night Safari with the boys (ages 7 & 5). Since bedtime for the boys is at 7:00pm, and the Safari opens at 7:30 pm you can see how going to the Night Safari was a super special occasion for us – the kids don’t usually stay up so late, nor do they venture out much at night. This was their first visit to the Night Safari and we felt they were the right age to truly experience the Safari and make it a memorable family outing.

The Night Safari is a great experience and something that is not to be missed, but make sure to plan accordingly and you will have an awesome time. Here are some helpful tips that will ensure that you are well prepared with your kids.

Singapore Night Safari Map

Useful Night Safari Info:

Address & Location:  80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826. The Night Safari is a 2 minute walk from the Singapore Zoo and River Safari, and all three parks are located approximately 30mins from Orchard Road (depending on traffic).

Hours of Operation :   The Night Safari is open from 7:30pm to 12 midnight. The gift shop and eating venues open at 5:30pm. Visitors will be allowed to enter the Safari starting at 7:15pm.

If you plan in advance and you should be able to get a good deal. Click here to buy the tickets online from the Singapore Night Safari website (currently 25% off).

20+ Helpful Tips For Visiting the Night Safari with Kids

Tip #1 – go on a weekday.

If you live in Singapore or are in town for awhile, go to the Night Safari on a weekday! Otherwise, get ready for a super packed venue and slightly longer wait times.

Tip #2 – Visit the Zoo, River Safari & Night Safari in 1 Day

If you are from out of town or just a super eager local resident, it is definitely possible to visit the Singapore Zoo, River Safari and Night Safari all on the same day if you have slightly older kids (ages 5+).

My recommendation would be I to start with the Zoo before lunch (preferably at 10am when it opens). See all the animals, splash in the waterpark at the Kidzworld and eat lunch at the Zoo. Then around 3:00pm head over to the River Safari. The River Safari is not that big and not that crowded. You should easily be able to see everything in 2-3 hours (including the free Boat Cruise and Amazon Boat Ride). When you are done with the River Safari, walk over to the Night Safari. Relax for a bit, eat dinner outside the Safari and go in at 7:15. It will be a long day, but your kids will definitely have a great time.

Bonus Tip : If you do plan on being out all day, don’t forget to bring your phone charger! You can find an outlet and power up in between attractions or while you eat. You don’t want to want to miss out on those quality photo opps.

Tip #3 – Arrive Early

The food establishments and shops at the Night Safari open at 5:30pm. It will take you some time to get your tickets and get yourself situated with your surroundings. Get there early to ensure that you are able to look around and take some pictures before the crowds start arriving.

Singapore Night Safari Kids Babies Toddlers Children

Tip #4 – Park at the Zoo Parking Lot next to the exit

If you are driving, park in the Zoo outdoor parking lot near the car exit gantry. The entrance to the Night Safari is across the street from the Zoo carpark. Make sure you have enough money in your cash card to exit. The maximum parking amount is SG$8 for the day (three hours or more).

Tip #5 – Eat Dinner at the Night Safari

Get to the Safari early and eat outside at one of the restaurants. The Night Safari offers a variety of cuisines (Asian, Indian, Western, Korean  and a few more). The selection of food at the Night Safari is much better than the food at the Zoo, River Safari and Jurong Bird Park. Most of the food is freshly prepared or buffet style, but be forewarned, the prices are at least double of what you would find in the city (and more expensive than the zoo). For picky eaters, I recommend packing some food from home (like we did for my 5 year old) and buying food for other members of your family.

Bonus Tip: There are also some Night Safari food vendors who serve alcohol. After a day site-seeing with your kids, you might need a drink. LOL

Singapore Night Safari Restaurants Food Alcohol

Bonus Tip : If you eat dinner at Bongo Burgers, get a seat outdoors right next to the stage. This will ensure that you have an unobstructed view for the Thumbuakar Performance (the fire show).

Singapore Night Safari Food Restaurants Bongo Burgers

Tip #6 – Line up at the Entrance Before 7pm

People start lining up around 6:45pm or earlier. Unless you are a Season Pass holder (member), get in the line closest to the stage. This way you can watch the Thumbuakar show and stand in line at the same time.

Singapore Night Safari with kids, toddlers, babies

Tip #6 – Go on the Tram Ride First

You want to make sure your kids get the Safari experience before they get too tired. Although the first “Creatures of the Night” show starts at 7:30pm, you want to first get on the tram because that is the main attraction. You will have plenty of time to make it to the next show or walk around at night.

Singapore Night Safari Tram Kids Toddlers Babies

Super Note:  Since we got on the 2nd tram at approximately 7:25pm, we actually got a bit of daylight/twilight before it became pitch black and were able to take some pictures.

Singapore Night Safari with kids, toddlers, babies, children

Tip #7 – Take Pictures before it gets Dark!

The entire Night Safari is a NO FLASH zone. So unless you have night vision or some other advanced lens on your camera, you will end up not having any pictures to share of your exciting night adventure.

Singapore Night Safari kids, babies, toddlers, children

Bonus Tip : It is very dark on the tram ride. Only the animals are dimly lit – there are no other lights.

Tip #8 –   Use the Free Wifi

The Singapore Zoo, River Safari and Night Safari all have free wifi! So even if you are from out of town and on airplane mode, you can easily stay in touch with your family and/or post your selfies online.

Tip #9 – Bring Mosquito Repellent

Singapore is a tropical environment. Mosquitoes love the outdoors and the dark. So come prepared.

Tip #10 – Bring an Umbrella & Rain Ponchos

Check the weather before you go to the Night Safari. If it is raining, I would recommend choosing a different day (if possible) to visit, as it may be difficult to see the animals because they will be hiding (especially if it is thundering). Also, the Creatures of the Night show may be cancelled if the weather is too bad.

If you do think it will be a rainy night, make sure to pack an umbrella and some ponchos if you can. The Singapore Zoo does sell ponchos, so I am sure the Night Safari will as well if it is raining. The tram is covered and most of the eating establishments are covered, however the Safari entrance line is not covered and neither are the Safari walking trails.

Tip #11 – Wear Comfortable Shoes

In addition to the tram ride and the shows, you are also able to walk around the Night Safari. There are a variety of trails that are lit up with safari staff guiding the way. Make sure you and your kids wear comfortable shoes to walk around in, especially if you plan to do a little late night exploring.

Singapore Night Safari Kids Toddlers Babies

Tip #12 – Get an AISLE seat for the “Creatures of the Night Show” 

The Creatures of the Night Show, is entertaining and good for all ages, babies, toddlers, kids and adults. Get a seat in the aisle if possible, some of the animals enter from the top of the stairs. The show is a good way to chill out and really see the animals up close (in case some animals are sleeping while you were in the tram).

Singapore Night Safari Creatures of the Night Show

Tip #13 – Stroller Parking is Available

Stroller parking is available at the Night Safari. Strollers can go on the tram ride, but there is limited space and you will need to wait if others are also with strollers. Babies and toddlers are not allowed to sit in the stroller during the tram ride. Your baby or toddler will need to be sitting on the seat or your lap, so make sure your child can easily be moved if they are already sleeping in the stroller. There is stroller parking outside of the Creatures of the Night Show – strollers are not allowed inside.

Bonus Tip : If you are planning on bringing your baby, please be advised that it is very quiet on the tram ride (the tram is full, but most people are silent). A crying baby will definitely disturb the other passengers who are there to experience the Safari and hear the tour guide describe the animals. Just try to plan sleeping/feeding times accordingly so your baby/toddler is not in tears. FYI, even we repeatedly kept telling our two boys to speak in an inside voice or whisper on the tram.

Tip #14 – Bring Snacks & Water

Drink vending machines are available, but limited inside the Safari. Once you enter the Night Safari there is only one restaurant, the Zebra Cafe, which is located at the first tram stop. We did not get off the tram so I don’t know what it looks like, but I do recommend bringing (or buying before you enter) some snacks & water if you think your kids will get hungry while walking around or at the show.

Bonus Tip: All the restaurants and gift shop do stay open late, but they are located just outside the entrance/exit turnstile and not accessible from inside. You can get a hand stamp to re-enter if you need to exit.

Tip #15 – Bring Glow in the Dark Items

The Night Safari is DARK! Since this was a special for the kids to stay up so late we decided to go all out and make it a super fun outing with some glow in the dark items. Also, your kids will be easy to spot.

Singapore Night Safari with kids, babies, toddlers, children

Bonus Tip : We went to Daiso and picked up some glow in the dark sticks for $2. My boys were all lit up in their necklaces – which made them easy to see in a crowd.

Tip #16 – Bring Flashlights & Toys that Light Up

I am sure your kids, like mine, have tons of light up toys. What better place to put them to use them than the Night Safari where it is very dark. If you are from out of town, you can purchase some cheap light up toys wands from the gift shop. Needless to say other kids without light up toys were looking enviously at my boys. We were able to keep track of each other in the dark and light our path at the same time.

Tip #17 –  Keep An Eye on Your Belongings

Now if you are from another country, you probably already do this, but for those of us that are in Singapore we are used to a very low crime rate. Just be forewarned it is dark and crowded especially after the show. Keep an eye on your kids and your stuff.

Tip #18 – Know the Bus Timings & Line Up Early

If you are taking the bus, make sure you know the bus time schedule and get in line early! The bus does get full and the last thing you want is to stand in line with very tired kids and miss the bus.

Singapore Night Safari Bus

Tip #19 – Download the Singapore Taxi Apps

If you are planning on taking a taxi back to town, make sure you download the taxi apps. There should be a line of taxis at the taxi stand waiting for passengers, but this is variable based on the amount of Night Safari visitors and the weather. If it is raining or even a peak holiday, it might be very hard to get a taxi, just be prepared. Make sure you have the Grab Taxi, Uber and City Cab apps on your phone in case you need to call for one.

Tip #20 – Make sure to have FUN!

Seeing the Night Safari through your kids eyes is definitely different than seeing it as an adult. This might be a once in a lifetime experience for many of you, so make sure you plan appropriately and have a great time with your kids.

Hello! Thanks for your helpful tips. I was wondering did you wait and buy your tickets at the gate or online? If online where do you see the kids tickets? I just see adult prices on all the different websites. Thank you

SuperMommy

Hi! When the boys were young, we always had a season pass that included the night safari. I checked on the Night Safari website and they do sell separate child admission tickets (I made it all the way to the purchase page). You can book your child ticket on http://www.mandai.com and then book the adult tickets (if it is cheaper) on one of the discount sites like Klook or Pelago. Just fyi, I recommend getting your tickets in advance – especially if you are going on a weekend or school holiday. The early 7pm time slot usually fills up fast. Its nice to go on the tram when there is still some light out so that you can take pictures. Hope you enjoy your visit!! 🙂

Singapore Night Safari

Singapore night safari: an enchanting nocturnal world.

The Singapore Night Safari stands as a leading wildlife attraction, offering an immersive, nocturnal experience. It's the world's first nocturnal wildlife park, inviting visitors to witness the captivating behaviors of animals that come alive after dark. Nestled in the lush Mandai area, the Night Safari houses an array of nocturnal creatures from Asia, Africa, and beyond. Visitors can explore the park on foot through well-maintained trails or opt for guided tram rides providing insightful commentary on animals and their habitats. Tourists can counter magnificent Asian elephants and powerful tigers, or discover unique and lesser-known species like the fishing cat and pangolin. Other species that you can spot at the Singapore night safari include Tasmanian devil, sugar glider, brush-tailed possum, Malayan tigers, aardvark, Babirusa, Bongo, red river hog, sloth bear, spotted hyena, and many others.

The Night Safari's engaging activities include feeding sessions with Indian rhinos and Asian elephants, where you can get up close with these animals under expert guidance. Throughout the evening, the park comes alive with themed trails and shows. These include the captivating Creatures of the Night show, where you can marvel at the natural talents of creatures like Asian small-clawed otters and fennec foxes. And there are various time slots for different shows, ensuring there's never a dull moment.

With its dimly lit pathways that create a natural ambiance, the Singapore Mandai Night Safari provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore the world's nocturnal biodiversity and gain a deeper appreciation of our planet's wildlife.

Singapore Night Safari Experience Explained

Singapore Night Safari tickets give you access to Singapore's first nocturnal park, allowing you to see over 2000 wild animals roaming freely under a moonlit sky from up and close. You will either go on a walking tour, enjoy a tram ride or a chartered buggy excursion. No matter which option you choose you will certainly have surreal experiences. With a Night Safari booking, you will get to explore its six zones, four trails, and two thrilling shows that will leave you spellbound. You can also upgrade your tickets to include an overnight stay in the park and enjoy a unique dining experience and wildlife encounters.
