Fodor's Expert Review Night Safari
Bukit Timah, Kranji, and the Central Water Catchment
Family
Right next to the Singapore Zoo, the safari is the world's first wildlife park designed exclusively and especially for night viewing. More than 80 acres of secondary jungle provide a home to more than 2,500 animals that are more active after the sun sets. Some 90% of tropical animals are, in fact, nocturnal, and to see them do something other than snooze gives their behavior a new dimension. From elephants, lions, and clouded leopards to flying foxes and rare pangolin, the Night Safari is an unusual way to spy animals after dark. Their habitats have been designed to come as close to their natural setting as possible, with just enough light for you to see what they're doing but not enough to limit the animals' normal activity.
