Singapore Night Safari
Overview
Singapore Night Safari is located next to Singapore Zoo and it is the world's first wildlife outdoor park built for visits at night. It does not have much lighting and yet the visitors still able to watch the animals clearly. Since Singapore at times may be quite hot in the day, it is a perfect environment to watch the animals in the cool night.
There are 1,200 nocturnal animals comprising 110 species in their naturalistic habitat. It has the same open concept of the zoo and has animals representing the 3 continents (Asia, Africa and South Amreica).
Visitors can take the tram ride and view the animals in comfort or take the well-lit walking trails to see the animals without disturbing them.
Carrying anything too bright is prohibited, and pointing lights at the animals is not allowed. We don't have pictures from the Night Safari because it was dark, and all flash photography is prohibited so as not to freak out the animals.
