Dubai Safari Park which has been closed is reopening and we are glad to report this as it means more attractions and activities for tourists in Dubai. Closed in May 2018, it has been in abeyance for two years. Just five months after it was launched in a grand fashion, the animal park shut its doors on visitors during which it carried out improvements on animal enclosures and attractions.

“The redesigned Dubai Safari has many unique interactive programs blended into the safari journey that provide visitors a unique and memorable experience.

“Not only can they see different types of animals from across the world, they can also enjoy activities, performances and shows that entertain as well as educate.”

The park houses a large community of 3,000 mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates in its 119 hectares of landscaped area.

Other rare animals it houses include the Komodo dragon, spiral-horned antelope, Arabian oryx, colored African wild dog, gorilla, gibbon, bongo and lemur.

Visitors can get around the park across three themed zones on air-conditioned trains. The zones are the African Village, Asian Village and Explorer Village.

Redesigned, the park is now highly improved to enhance guests’ access to its various sites. And to enrich its guests’ experience, it has incorporated more things to do such as animal feeding, educational and awareness programs and seasonal to its activities. These activities will help increase visitors’ awareness and provide opportunities for interaction with the animals.

Added to that, the park now includes an Arabian Desert Safari tour.

A thermal camera has been installed and manual thermometers will also be used to screen visitors.
