Night Safari Singapore is the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park . Housing over 900 animals from approximately 100 species , it offers two main experiences : a tram ride or a walking trail .

On the tram, you can see a variety of animals like Malayan tigers and White African lions, each in their element under the cloak of night.

If you choose to walk, expect close encounters with creatures like sloth bears and Asian otters.

The journey is made even more memorable with captivating animal show, where the nocturnal talents of these creatures are displayed, adding an extra layer of wonder to your visit.

Time We Visit:

We visited the Night Safari Singapore during the earliest time slot at 7:15 PM. I highly recommend doing the same because you get to see the animals in much better light.

Our Tram Ride Journey:

We began our adventure with the tram ride. It’s a great way to get up close with the animals, although taking good photographs from the moving tram can be a bit challenging.

Animal Show Experience:

After the tram ride, I recommend checking out the Creatures of the Night show at 8:30 PM. It’s not only entertaining but also really informative, giving you a fascinating glimpse into the world of nocturnal animals.

Walking Trails Feedback:

Finally, we explored the four walking trails. It’s a chance to see different species of animals, many of them are active at night.

While some animals are easily visible, others are harder to spot. It requires a bit of patience, but taking your time to observe the animals is definitely worth it.

How Much Time We Allocated for the Park Visit:

We spent around 3 hours exploring the park, and it was time well spent.

There’s so much to see and experience, so I recommend setting aside at least this much time to fully enjoy the Night Safari.

Overall Experience:

We thoroughly enjoyed the Night Safari Singapore as a unique zoo experience. It’s a fantastic place to spend an evening, and adding it to our Singapore 5-day itinerary was a choice I’m happy about.

Also, a useful tip: don’t forget to bring a water bottle. You can refill it at the free water dispensers near the washrooms, which is both convenient and eco-friendly.

Thing We Didn’t Like:

There are some mosquitoes at the Night Safari, so I highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent. This small preparation can make your experience much more comfortable.

When you buy tickets at the Night Safari’s on-site counter, the regular prices are SGD $55 for adults and SGD $38 for children aged 3 to 12.

But here’s a tip: book the Night Safari tickets online here to enjoy special pricing. We did this and it was a smooth process.

You’ll receive e-tickets in your email, which you can simply show on your phone for a convenient and easy park entry.

For the best experience at the Night Safari Singapore , aim for the earliest admission time at 7:15 PM .

Going early helps you see the animals more clearly, as it’s less dark. This also gives you plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed.

Additionally, more animals are active during this time , increasing your chances of seeing high-energy animals in action.

The park is open from 7.15 PM until midnight, with the last entry at 11:15 PM.

Entry Time Slots: 7:15 PM, 7:45 PM, 8:15 PM, 8:45 PM, 9:15 PM & 9:45 PM

To effortlessly navigate Night Safari, I suggest downloading the zoo map here . This will make it easier for you to explore the park using just your smartphone.

It’s not advisable that you use a hardcopy map because it can be very hard to see and read it at night.

To make the most of your visit, I suggest having dinner early and lining up at the entry gate by 6:30 PM . This lets you catch the earliest tram ride at Night Safari and cut down on waiting times .

While it’s tough to take good photographs from the moving tram, the upside is that you can fully immerse yourself in observing and enjoying the animals. It’s a unique opportunity to see them up close without distractions.

The Night Safari Singapore offers 4 walking trails that allow you to see the animals up-close . These are Leopard Trail , Fishing Cat Trail , East Lodge Trail , and Tasmanian Devil Trail .

Each trail comes with a variety of animals. So, you just have to pick the trail that you are interested in.

1. Leopard Trail

The Leopard Trail lets you see nocturnal animals in action. You’ll spot popular cats like Sri Lankan leopards, clouded leopards, golden cats, civets, and lions.

But it’s not just about cats; as you walk further, you’ll also encounter porcupines, eagle owls, giant flying squirrels, and fruit bats.

2. Fishing Cat Trail

On the Fishing Cat Trail, you’ll find predators like striped hyenas and fishing cats. These animals are highly alert and strategic in hunting their prey. Keep your eyes open to catch their impressive moves.

Besides these, you’ll also see binturongs, pangolins, Asian otters, and more!

3. East Lodge Trail

The East Lodge Trail blends African and Asian wildlife, showcasing animals from both tropical and grassland environments.

Here, you’ll find Malayan Tigers, serval cats, sloth bears, and spotted hyenas.

Also, keep an eye out for unique species like babirusas, anoas, and bongos. If these animals fascinate you, this trail is a must-visit.

4. Tasmanian Devil Trail

The Tasmanian Devil Trail offers a unique chance to see wallabies, often with babies in their pouches.

This area, focusing on wildlife from Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand, features charming animals like sugar gliders, barn owls, and possums.

You can also spot the impressive white-lipped python here.

To fully enjoy your Night Safari experience, don’t miss the “Creatures of the Night” show at the Night Safari Amphitheatre.

The show runs at 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM, and 9:30 PM. On Fridays to Sundays, there’s an additional show at 10:15 PM.

This show puts a spotlight on some amazingly talented animals. You’ll be entertained by owls, civets, and fennec foxes, each showcasing their adorable antics.

Remember, you can only book seats 2 hours before each presentation. So, it’s crucial to plan ahead and reserve early to ensure you get a spot.

You can enjoy dinner at Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant , located right next to the Night Safari entrance .

Designed in a rustic village style , the restaurant serves a variety of dishes, ranging from local specialties to international cuisine .

It’s an ideal spot for a quick snack or a leisurely meal, surrounded by the sounds of nocturnal wildlife.

When visiting Night Safari Singapore, it’s crucial to remember that flash photography is not allowed . This is to protect the animals, as bright flashes can startle and disturb them.

For night photography, here are some tips:

• Use a High ISO Setting: This helps your camera capture more light, making it easier to photograph in low-light conditions.
• Experiment with Exposure: Longer exposure can capture more details but requires a steady hand or support.
• Be Patient: Night photography requires time and patience. Wait for the right moment to capture the animals in their natural behavior.

For a better and more convenient trip to Night Safari, check out my recommended itinerary below. It’s designed to help you fully experience and enjoy every moment of your visit.

• 6:30 PM – Queue up at the entry gate of Night Safari
• 7:15 PM – Enter Night Safari and hop on the tram ride
• 8:30 PM – Watch Creatures of the Night show (25 Minutes Show)

However, they are close to each other. 

Night Safari’s entrance is adjacent to Singapore Zoo’s entry gate. 

Address:  80, Mandai Lake Road, Singapore, 729826.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

For some, this is the first time, someone has already been there more than once, but visits the city again, always finding something new and interesting. How can you learn and see better and more in a short stay in the capital? Everyone has their own methods.

Convenience for travel lies in the waterways that run through the city in many places. But the main one, which gave the name to the city itself, is, of course, the Moskva River, which flows for almost 80 kilometers in the very city. The river not only crosses the metropolis from the northwest to the southeast, but also forms some meanders. In the middle of one of the bends, at the very top, is the city center - the Kremlin.

There are many ways for guests and residents of the capital to get acquainted with the sights of the city, see all its beauty and enjoy beautiful panoramas. One of these ways are river walks.tram. This is a unique opportunity, thanks to the independent choice of the route. The trip can last from one to five hours. During the walk you can see all the beauty of the huge city.

This will give a great opportunity to get acquainted with the beauties of the city. Each waterbus route covers a certain number of berths, so it will be easy to see all the sights and capture them on camera.

For many Muscovites, the river bus is the most favorite mode of transport in the warm season. With the onset of spring, from mid-April, this type of transport begins to function. Throughout the summer and until mid-autumn, citizens and guests of the capital can give themselves pleasure - ride a river bus. Fascinating walks take place not only along the Moscow River, but also along reservoirs, along the Canal. Moscow.

Due to the fact that the main artery of the river stretches for more than a hundred kilometers along the city coast, it is possible to see all the beauty of the picturesque areas of the capital. The river bus route along the Moscow River passes by the majestic and unique Moscow Kremlin. You can admire its architectural ensemble and splendor created by great architects.

The river bus will enable travelers to enjoy the most beautiful architectural monuments, learn more about the rich history of the city, and see the unique landscapes of the metropolis. This is always a great opportunity not only to admire the amazing views of the capital, but also a chance to step back from the bustle of the city. Staying close to the city, tourists are alone with nature and history.

Walking along the Moscow River on a water bus will help you not only have a great time, but also get distracted from household chores, work or study. Such walks will give you unforgettable meetings with friends, give you the opportunity to make new, interesting acquaintances, or give you a chance to just be alone, dream and enjoy the most beautiful views overboard.

Get drunk on the fresh air, ride on the water surface, leaving the bustle of the city behind - what could be more pleasant on a warm spring or hot summer day? Such sensations can be given by a river tram along the Moscow River. The schedule can be checked with one of the tour operators or at the river berths. You can also buy tickets for the ride there. For the most accurate schedule information, please visit the website of the Capital Shipping Company.

At any pier, before buying a ticket, you can also find out the tram schedule in advance, and then plan your trip. There will be no difficulties with sending, as the transport runsevery twenty minutes. Almost all trams have two decks, one of which is open and the other is closed. Therefore, any weather will not interfere with an exciting excursion.

In warm, sunny summer weather, it is always nice to be on the open deck to breathe in cool and clean air. If the weather is cloudy and rainy, then it is amusing to contemplate the landscapes passing by, sitting comfortably on the deck closed from the wind and rain. The river bus is great for walking in any weather, especially if there are like-minded people nearby.

Traveling in a tram, even local residents note that a completely different view of already familiar places opens up from the river. No city noise is heard, roads and residential buildings are not visible. A grandiose picture appears before travelers, where churches show all their splendor, illuminating the audience with golden domes. From this angle, the Kremlin wall looks completely different, the monument to Peter the Great is striking in its grandeur.

To see all the beauty, it's worth taking a ride on a river bus in Moscow. The Kultury Park and the Luzhniki sports complex are slowly giving way to the Moscow City skyscrapers. Architectural monuments are replaced by the raging greenery of the park area, each trip will become unforgettable and unique. It is a must to capture these happy moments on camera to remember the great times.

On the way, the river bus stops at all marinas, so it will not be difficult, if necessary, to get off at one of them and visit the place chosen for the excursion. Now more and more often they make fun walks on trams with whole groups of friends, order walks for loved ones or celebrate birthdays and other holidays. Such a solemn moment will surely be remembered by all those present and will impress.

If you look a little into history, you can find out that the first river trams appeared in Moscow back in 1923. They included 70 small boats that could take on board from 40 to 100 passengers. Even before the Great Patriotic War, the most popular routes were from Kamenny Bridge to Zaozerye and from Dorogomilovsky Bridge to the AMO plant.

Already in the sixties, not only urban, but also suburban lines appeared, which were served by high-speed hydrofoil ships. Over time, all Moscow water transport began to engage in excursions and walks. Therefore, it will not be difficult for guests of the capital to choose the best route for an informative and interesting walk.

Looking at the schedule of river buses, you can immediately determine that the most common route is starting from the Kievsky railway station and following to the Novospassky bridge. Transport departs every 25 minutes as in onedirection, and in the opposite direction, from noon to eight o'clock in the evening.

The next most visited route is from the Central Park of Culture and Culture to the Rossiya Hotel and back, here trams depart at half an hour intervals.

The trip from Sparrow Hills to Ustinsky Bridge will be exciting, which will end again at Sparrow Hills. In an hour and a half of travel, you can see amazing landscapes, extraordinary beautythe capital and hear a lot of interesting things from a guide accompanying you along the way. Such trips are remembered for a lifetime by their splendor and originality.

A large amount of water transport is provided by the Capital Shipping Company, but in addition to it, private companies offer river trips, which operate many additional routes. Thanks to this, there are no problems with overloading of trams, and all tourists can safely enjoy their vacation on the river surface.

For guests arriving in the metropolis, it is worth mentioning that there are 16 berths along the entire river. It will not be difficult to get to the right place and see the many sights located by the water, which will look even more majestic.

Muscovites often use waterbuses, as they make life easier for them. Despite the constant construction of freeways, it is quite difficult to travel by car in the city due to constant traffic jams. The metro is also overloaded, and in the warm season, there is not always a desire to go underground. River transport comes to the rescue, which will easily and comfortably take residents to the right place.

The hasty metropolis fades into the background, when you can calmly, sitting in a tram cafe, watch the beauties of the city. Many citizens are happy to go on river walks at night, because it is a real pleasure to see Moscow shining with lights, enjoying not only all its beauty, but also relaxing in a comfortable environment. The lights of buildings, the play of advertising make the city magical and unearthly in the dark.

When the established summer comes, not all residents can go to seaside resorts. River navigation comes to their aid, because moorings are also equipped in the Moscow region. On the shore of the Klyazma reservoir there is an excellent sandy beach, which is framed by a pine forest that helps to keep cool. There are many cafes and shops on the territory, so vacationers go with pleasure to enjoy clean air and a magnificent beach. In order to get to the beach, you need to find out the schedule of river buses in order to get to your vacation without delay.

Fans of fishing can go to the Pestovskoye reservoir, where you can combine fishing with a pleasant stay. Everything here is equipped for a great holiday, not only a beach with shops and cafes, but also a boat station offers its own inventory.

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.  

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .
