The Night Safari, located in Mandai, Singapore, is the world's first nocturnal zoo. It's one of the country's most popular tourist destinations and is situated within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, which also includes the Singapore Zoo, Bird Paradise, River Wonders, and the upcoming Rainforest Wild Park.
Located within Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal wildlife park. It is home to over 900 animals from approximately 100 species, of which almost 41 per cent are threatened.
Given the timings, you can explore the park for about five hours, but three to four hours should be enough to explore everything. The guided tram ride lasts about 40 minutes. You can also embark on the walking trails to see the animals in their habitats up close.
Rather than an extension of the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari is actually a separate zoo, which is bigger in size and contains a wider range of animals. Since its opening in May 1994, the Night Safari has been highly regarded by the international zoo community.
