Singapore Night Safari

OVERVIEW

Wander about the Singapore Zoo during the evening when many of the animals are most active. This unique perspective of the natural world is the only way to observe nocturnal creatures that typically sleep during the day. You can walk along the winding paths and ride through the grounds in an open-air tram that will stop at the various habitats. The enclosures will be dimly illuminated for excellent views without disturbing the animals. You might travel the trail that recreates a nighttime trek through the jungle or the trail that passes through a collection of wildlife indigenous to Southeast Asia. As an alternate, you may visit areas with clouded leopards, Asian elephants, tapirs and scaly anteaters known as pangolins. There are also aviaries with Malayan flying foxes and giant flying squirrels living among the many birds. Other popular zoo animals that are active at night include Asiatic black bears, hippopotamuses, barking deer and African lions.
