The Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal zoo and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore.
The concept of a nocturnal park in Singapore was suggested in the 1980s by the former executive chairman of the Singapore Zoo, Dr Ong Swee Law. Constructed at a cost of S$63 million, the Night Safari was officially opened on 26 May 1994 and occupies 35 hectares (86 acres) of secondary rainforest adjacent to the Singapore Zoo and Upper Seletar Reservoir.
The Night Safari currently houses over 2,500 animals representing over 130 species, of which 38% are threatened species. The Night Safari is managed by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, and about 1.1 million visitors visit the safari per year.[2] The Night Safari received its 11 millionth visitor on 29 May 2007.
Opened in 1994, Night Safari is the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park. Today, the award-winning park welcomes more than 1.1 million visitors a year. They come from all over the world to enjoy the unique experience of seeing over 1,000 animals in their naturalistic nighttime habitats.
12-time winner of best attraction category awarded by Singapore Tourism Board, the star of the Night Safari experience is a guided tram ride that takes you across 6 geographical zones of the world. From the rugged Himalayan Foothills to the swampy banks of the Asian Riverine Forest and more, your tram guide will share fascinating facts and tales about the animals and habitats along your journey. Those who prefer a more personalised experience can book a VIP experience on the Safari Adventurer Tour where a dedicated guide can take you and an intimate group of guests on a private tour of the park.
Explore the walking trails to see even more animals not visible from the tram journey. Stroll into the realm of the animals at our two giant aviaries where the Malayan flying foxes and giant flying squirrels can come right next to you. The aviaries are along the Leopard Trail where you can get within a whisker of the beautiful leopards from their dedicated glass observatory. Head along the Fishing Cat Trail and look in on fishing cats as they engage in their nightly river-side hunt. Then, trek right into the Outback to discover native wildlife of Australia including a family of wallabies in their walk-through habitat along our all-new Wallaby Trail.
No visit is complete without enjoying our famous performances filled with humour, thrill and surprises. Catch our talented troupe of tribal warriors as they thrill you with their fiery stunts in the Thumbuakar Performance and don’t miss the must-see Creatures of the Night Show. This highly entertaining and interactive 20-minute show highlights the natural abilities of some of the most fascinating animals.
As you whet your appetite for adventure, be sure to indulge in Night Safari’s unique dining offerings - from gourmet fastfood to popular local delicacies served in the traditional village ambiance of our Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant. You can even book a movable feast for a group of your guests onboard our award-winning Gourmet Safari Express. Whether for a wedding celebration, a family affair or a corporate incentive, you and your guests will be whisked away on a candlelight dinner on a tram as you traverse various geographical zones.
More than just Singapore’s No.1 Nightspot, Night Safari has also been achieving success in our effort to support the conservation of biodiversity. Over the years, we have bred Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, fishing cats, Malayan tapirs and Asian lions, among other endangered species.
It’s an after-dark wildlife adventure that is truly one-of-a-kind. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Singapore Night Safari Walking Trail and Tram Safari
Singapore Night Safari was an amazing experience. There's 2 options to see the park. I did both. I did the Tram Safari which takes about 40 minutes, then afterwards I decided to walk all over the park by following the walking trail. Personally you have to do both to really get a feel of the park. This park really did a great job show casing the nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. The video is dark because flash and light are not allowed since they can blind the animals. Definitely check it out. If you had to choose between the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, I would suggest checking out the Night Safari. They open towards the late afternoon and evening.

The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning large foot). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus: the red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo.[1] Kangaroos are endemic to Australia. The Australian government estimates that 34.3 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2011, up from 25.1 million one year earlier.[2]
As with the terms wallaroo and wallaby, kangaroo refers to a polyphyletic grouping of species. All three refer to members of the same taxonomic family, Macropodidae, and are distinguished according to size. The largest species in the family are called kangaroos and the smallest are generally called wallabies. The term wallaroos refers to species of an intermediate size.[3] There is also the tree-kangaroo, another genus of macropod, which inhabits the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, far northeastern Queensland and some of the islands in the region. A general idea of the relative size of these informal terms could be:
wallabies: head and body length of 45–105 cm and tail length of 33–75 cm; The dwarf wallaby (the smallest member) length is 46 cm and weigh of 1.6 kg;
tree-kangaroos: from Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo body and head length of 48–65 cm, tail of 60–74 cm, weigh of 7.2 kg (16 lb) for males and 5.9 kg (13 lb) for females; to the grizzled tree-kangaroo length of 75–90 cm (30 to 35 in) and weight of 8–15 kg (18–33 lb);
wallaroos: the black wallaroo, the smallest by far, with a tail length of 60–70 cm and weight of 19–22 kg for males and 13 kg for females;
kangaroos: a large male can be 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 90 kg (200 lb).
Kangaroos have large, powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, a long muscular tail for balance, and a small head. Like most marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which joeys complete postnatal development.
The large kangaroos have adapted much better than the smaller macropods to land clearing for pastoral agriculture and habitat changes brought to the Australian landscape by humans. Many of the smaller species are rare and endangered, while kangaroos are relatively plentiful.
The kangaroo is an symbol of Australia and appears on the Australian coat of arms[4] and on some of its currency[5] and is used by some of Australia's well known organisations, including Qantas[6] and the Royal Australian Air Force.[7] The kangaroo is important to both Australian culture and the national image, and consequently there are numerous popular culture references.
Wild kangaroos are shot for meat, leather hides, and to protect grazing land.[8] Although controversial, kangaroo meat has perceived health benefits for human consumption compared with traditional meats due to the low level of fat on kangaroos.

Singapore Night Safari
Alles over Singapore op
De Night Safari is een van de leukste attracties in Singapore. Je bezoekt de zoo in de avond wanneer het donker is. Voor de dieren is het dan nacht en dan zijn ze compleet anders. Ze gaan jagen of zijn juist erg alert op roofdieren. Je rijd in een soort tram langs de diverse vertrekken. Een prachtige attractie in Singapore; alleen echt interessant als je niet daarna nog eens de jungle in gaat (zelfs dan is het nog wel de moeite waard).

Tram Ride - Night Safari, Singapore
The tram ride was the final part of the night safari tour. You can also get down at the different trails to observe the animals more closely.
The tram ride is great, you get to sit in an open vehicle with no rails or glass windows and the guide explains about each species as you go along. The tram ride lasts about 20 minutes and you get to see many different animals.
They have some unique animals here: Markhors (Largest wild goat in the world), Mouflons, Barasingha, Babirusa and the Asian Wild Dogs (Dhole). We also saw the Asian Elephants, Asian and African Lions, Wallaby, Tigers and Giraffe. The list of animals does not end there.
Go early if you are an animal lover. You want to go to the different trails and watch the animals at leisure. The animals here are kept at their natural sleep cycle unlike other zoos. So they are much more relaxed. However, it is hard to watch the animals at night and it is even worse for the camera. No flash photography is allowed, so your pictures won't come out good.
The night safari is definitely one of the top 10 things to do in Singapore. It will be a treat for kids, I am sure. Follow Me on:

The Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal zoo and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore.
The concept of a nocturnal park in Singapore was mooted in the 1980s by the former executive chairman of the Singapore Zoo, Dr Ong Swee Law. Constructed at a cost of S$63 million, the Night Safari was officially opened on 26 May 1994 and occupies 40 hectares (0.4 km²) of secondary rainforest adjacent to the Singapore Zoo and Upper Seletar Reservoir.
The Night Safari currently houses a total of 1,040 animals of 120 species, of which 29% are threatened species. The zoo is managed by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, and about 1.1 million visitors visit the safari per year.[1] The Night Safari received its 11 millionth visitor on 29 May 2007.
Unlike traditional nocturnal houses, which reverse the day-night cycle of animals so they will be active by day, the Night Safari is an entire open-air zoo set in a humid tropical forest that is only open at night. It is divided into eight geographical zones, which can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram.
The animals of the Night Safari, ranging from Indian rhinoceros to tarsiers, are made visible by lighting that resembles moonlight. Although it is brighter than full moonlight by a few orders of magnitude, it is dim enough not to disturb nocturnal and crepuscular animals' behaviour. London based lighting designer Simon Corder created the lighting for Night Safari.
Exhibits in the safari come from South America and other parts of Asia. The naturalistic enclosures simulate the animals' native habitat. Animals are separated from visitors with natural barriers, rather than caged, similar to the Singapore Zoo's open concept. Instead of vertical prison-like cages, cattle grids were laid all over the park to prevent hoofed animals from moving one habitat to another. These are grille-like metal sheets with gaps wide enough for animals' legs to go through. Moats were designed to look like streams and rivers to enable fishing cats and servals to be put on show in open areas, and hot wires were designed to look like twigs to keep animals away from the boundaries of their enclosures.
Cultural performances are a regular feature at the safari, and include tribal dances, blowpipe demonstrations and fire eating displays. Creatures of the Night Show is a performance presented by the animals in the Night Safari.
There are a number of food and beverage outlets in the Night Safari which include Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant, Bongo Burgers, and Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop. Visitors can also experience dining on the move with the Cocktail Safari Express and Gourmet Safari Express.
