Singapore Night Safari with Optional Buffet Dinner

Singapore, Singapore

Grab the chance to take the family on a Singapore Zoo Night Safari tour through the jungle. From the safety of your visitors' tram you'll spot nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, from fierce predators to timid forest dwellers. Then follow your guide on a night safari walking trail to see the animals at closer quarters. At the Singapore Zoo there's also the option to enjoy dinner at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant.

Your tour of Singapore Zoo Night Safari, winner of the Singapore Tourism Awards Best Leisure Attraction Experience, takes you through 98 acres (40 hectares) of secondary jungle adjoining Singapore Zoo, enhanced by subtle moon-glow lighting. The mystery and drama of the tropical jungle comes alive after dusk, and you'll experience a thrilling sense of roaming through the night safari as you travel through the grounds by open tram. You'll pass a large reservoir and weave through habitats specially designed to replicate the natural environment, from the Himalayan foothills to the Southeast Asian rainforest and Indian subcontinent.

Then set out on a safari trail as you walk with your guide. On the Fishing Cat Trail, search for wild animals native to the forest, including feline hunters stalking their prey in the river. Be on the lookout for big cats such as a Gir lion or a pair of Sri Lankan leopards on the Leopard Trail. The Malayan tiger, spotted hyenas and red river hogs can be seen along the East Lodge Trail. Or, head to the Singapore Zoo Night Safari’s newest attraction—the Wallaby Trail—to find fascinating nocturnal wildlife native to Australia.

There's no better way to complete your adventure than with an amazing show on stage, included with your admission.

Creatures of the Night Show
This 20-minute animal extravaganza brings you right into the heart of the rainforest. This highly interactive show demonstrates the unique behaviors and skills of nocturnal creatures like the otter, binturong, civet and more. Be amazed by the powerful jaws of a spotted hyena and cheer on the African serval as it shows you its ability to leap for prey.

Thumbuakar Performance
This Night Safari fire show includes a lively display of cultural dance moves from a crowd-pleasing troop of Thumbuakar warriors. They’ll heat up your night with their energy, rhythm and amazing fire-eating skills along with flame-throwing demonstrations and breathtaking stunts!

Optional Upgrade: Buffet Dinner
Why not complete your Singapore Zoo Night Safari experience with dinner at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant? This 600-seat signature restaurant offers an extensive array of local favorites and international cuisine in a charmingly ethnic setting. Dine under burnished wooden beams and rustic rattan fans or opt for an al fresco setting and drink in the symphony of the cicadas, frogs and other night creatures while a herd of Ankole cattle grazes nearby.

Well organised. Didn't do the dinner as I didn't want to waste zoo time in a tourist cafe. If you stop to eat you will have very little free time to look around. The queues for the two included shows were so long we had no hope of getting into either. If you line up earlier ie 40 to 50 mins before show starts you will also waste your free time to look around. Very interesting walking in the 'jungle' at night. Saw lots of animals, even in the dim light, but some were obviously stressed at being in such small areas.

Well worth doing. Comfortable, realistic areas for the animals - it really felt like you were on safari. Great to see these bigger animals in a natural setting. The tiger and lions were spectacular. We chose the dinner package which was an Asian Buffet - very good.

This is a nice way to spend an evening but it is about 50 minutes in a coach away so be prepared for a long evening getting there and back.

The food at the buffet was just ok. We were told the safari portion would be about an hour or maybe a little more, the tour was only about 20-30 minutes. Then following you have an option to go in the gift shop, walk around the ground on foot to get another view/closer look or wait for a short show with the animals.

We arrived somewhat late to Singapore and the local operators worked very hard to help us out with the tour. Unfortunately, they have cancelled the tour before we were able to give them a feedback about our ability to get to the meeting point, BUT never the less they need to be praised for their honesty and willingness to work with us. After all of the horrible experiences that we had in Malaysia and Singapore it was nice to be able to say that NOT ALL of the local contacts/agencies are dishonest and crooked. THANK YOU GUYS FOR WORKING WITH US.

Perhaps we were expecting too much. The idea is great to see nocturnal animals at night in an open environment, however the reality was that we saw very few of the animals and it all seemed a bit rushed. The buffet dinner was however excellent with a wide selection of foods from a variety of food types, Indian, Chinese etc.

Local guide who picked us up at our hotel was fine, but other local guide who accompanied us by big bus had such a bad cold that he could hardly speak. His English was nearly incomprehensible. Very uncomfortable. Contrary to popular opinion, the Night Safari is not a good investment in time, effort, and expense. Very over-rated. Super crowded, screaming kids, and only 40 minutes in duration. And you don't really see that much as most animals are lying low and hidden in the dark. Be mindful of all this if you book.

INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend doing! Being part of the tour meant we also received priority and skipped the insane amount of queues. All the animals were active and happy and content in their environment, which was lovely to see. The tour itself was very well organised and our guide maybe Nigel was lovely. We had the optional dinner and food was also fantastic quality. We opted for free time instead of the animal show and so glad we did. Will definitely return on our next visit to Singapore.

We did the tour with dinner included and the venue is very professional. You will spend a good while traveling to and from the venue. The food was a buffet with a wide variety of food choices to suit most visitors. Having the food meant that we went straight from the restaurant area to the tram tour without having to wait in the long lines. no need to buy the skip the lines add-on which some on our tour had bought The guide on the coach made a point of pointing out that the fire show and the creatures of the night show were window dressing for the main event which was the tram tour. I do not believe this was the case, but more about the guide want everyone back on the coach to leave on time. The creatures of the night show finishes 5 minutes before the coach was due to depart. We were lucky and finished the tram tour in time to catch the final showing, but when it is busier I am not sure you will have time to see everything?

Review by:   Andrew S,    January 2018 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
The Singapore Night Safari was good, but not great. We also got the buffet dinner which the tour guide said was brilliant, it was alright. The night safari itself wasn't too bad though because you do this at night it's hard to sometimes see the animals and when you do spot them the tram is off moving again. If we were to do it again I would just rock up to the Night Safari and do it in your own time rather than restricted time. I'd suggest to do the tram first then walk around the various walking tracks on offer. Only downside rocking up yourself is there might be a long wait for a tram ride where as if you book through here we got on a certain time so no waiting. Because it was slightly raining they cancelled the fire and animal shows so missed out on that.

Pick up was punctual and easy. It was a really busy night at the safari so it was awesome to be on a tour so we moved through quickly. The buffet meal was rushed - we were just starting dessert when we had to go and line up for our tour. Time at the end to shop which was great. Smooth transfer back to the hotel. It was cool to see the animals at night.

Far too rushed. Animals hard to see
 

Review by:   Walter E,    December 2017 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
The only gripe I have with this tour is that the train does not stop as it goes past the animals. There is time for it to stop for a few seconds each time to allow for a better look or photos. I am sure it could be accomplished quite easily with a little organisation.
 

Review by:   Russell T,    November 2017 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
My recommendation would be to spend less time at dinner and more time in the zoo with the animals. Our tram broke down right in front of the lions for approx 20 minutes, so we had very limited time in the actual park.

The tour was scheduled for 4 hours 6-10 PM. Pick up at the hotel was timely until they brought me to a drop off point in Chinatown where everyone from different tours was waiting. The entire group stood around for 30 minutes waiting for everyone to arrive and then we were loaded onto buses to travel to the Night Safari. By the time we arrived at Night Safari, it was already 8 PM. Guide Cindy was incredibly confusing in her instructions as to what would happen once we arrived, e.g., forest walk, followed by tram ride, followed by the show and not the show that was advertised - fire dancers - but rather something with animals specifically for the kids. She also said that the pick up time to return to the city was 10:10 PM with another hour bus ride back. When we arrived at the location, there was chaos and commotion, and she let everyone use the restroom which added another 20 minutes of waiting. It was nearly 9 PM before we even got on the tram. The agenda also changed as we ended up going on the tram first to be followed by walk. When we got off the tram, more confusion as Cindy then told us we could not do both the walk and the show due to the timing, and people wold have to split up and pick an activity. At that point, I had enough, left the group, and returned to the city on my own and at my own expense by shuttle bus. I would completely recommend the Night Safari - it was spectacular as it was a full moon and all the animals looked magnificent in the moonlight and jungle. I would not recommend this tour. You can just as easily and more cheaply do it on your own without the hassle of a group and the waiting that goes along with this trip.

The husband and I had enjoyed ourselves. We felt like kids again. They had a trolley tram that we rode in the dark to see the animals in the dark. The buffet was great too. I highly recommend this tour for any one of all ages.

A rushed excursion...little time to eat, no time to shop. Was not advised that taxi from hotel would take us to another transfer point to a bigger coach.No communication from operator East tours about schedule. Disappointed ....would not recommend and would not do this tour again. _br/_ Getting back there were many stops to various hotels to return all the passengers. Whole thing started 6.00pm pick up and return 11.00pm

We booked the night safari that included transport form our hotel and a buffet. Everything went as promised and I recommend booking this rather than going it alone. Straight to the front of the queue for the tram and the buffet food was excellent with plenty of variety.

Singapore Zoo is amazing at night when many of the animals are more active. The bus picked us up at our hotel and provided all the transportation and general guidance. My son loved to see the animals at night.

Absolutely awesome experience. The guide was very helpful and transport was on time and comfortable. After the tram ride around the safari you're free to walk around the park for a couple of hours - which was incredible as the animals were easy to view and very close. Buffet dinner was well worth it as the food was great and it saved time buying food elsewhere.

Went with the expectation that we would not see much in the dark, however this was blown completely out of the water. _br/_ Saw all the nocturnal animals. Instead of going for a walk afterwards we sat and watched the show - out of this world!!
