Dubai Safari Park will be extending its timings from December 13 to offer night safaris.

Running until January 12, 2025, this limited-time experience allows guests to explore wildlife after dark.

The night safaris, guided by expert wildlife specialists, will provide a unique opportunity to see over 90 species in their nighttime routines.

Visitors will also enjoy interactive activities and live performances, including an African fire show and a neon display.

Highlights include the chance to witness lions roaring, pygmy hippos becoming more active, and carnivores engaging in nocturnal hunting.

Ahmad Al Zarouni, Director of Public Parks and Recreational Facilities at Dubai Municipality, expressed excitement about this new experience, emphasizing its role in enhancing understanding of animal behaviour and welfare.

The night safaris will run daily from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Tickets go on sale from December 11, and visitors are encouraged to book early at dubaisafari.ae, as space is limited.
