Dubai Safari Park – A Great Wildlife Project

Dubai Safari Park, located in Al Warqa’a is another jewel in the crown of the happening city. Opened on 12th of December 2017 the Dubai Safari Park promises to be an affordable and economical recreational option for all. This project replaces the 50-year-old zoo in Jumeirah. Lack of space and adverse conditions of the Dubai Zoo was a point of main concern which led to this initiative. The safari park now houses the existing animals from the Jumeirah Zoo plus new ones. This massive wildlife project consists of 250 species, including endangered species.

Some of the critically endangered species were announced to be a part of an international breeding program involving the breeding of animals to send them to other zoos or to be released into the wild.  There is now a total of more than 2,500 animals with a planned addition of approximately 2,500 more. The area of the safari park is spread over 120 hectares of land, which has been divided into five villages.

The Safari Village

This is not your conventional zoo where you only get to view the animals lounging around in their cages or small enclosures created for them. You now get to view them in a more natural habitat.

For a tour of the safari village, an air-conditioned car specially designed for the tour will give you a classic, close-up view of the exotic animals and their lifestyles. Consider it an escapade into the jungles of Africa and Asia, where you can behold lush, tropical forest sights. Animals inhabiting the Safari Village include bears, baboons, water buffaloes, zebras, and deer. You can witness the majestic brown lions soaking up the sun, cheetahs on their racing tracks and tigers in their enclosure with the splendid, gurgling waterfalls to keep them cool.

You get to view the crocodiles at close-quarters in the world’s first drive-through hypo-aquarium, giving you better look at the formidable reptilian creatures. Other attractions include brown bears, a bird theatre with 6 shows and feeding areas for giraffes. An expedition of this region of the Safari Park can take anywhere from 45 to 120 minutes.

The Arabian Village

Now let’s enter the region that constitutes the Arabian village Arabian village. This tract of land consists of sandy deserts, and rocky mountains, and the steppe showing you the Arabian habitat landscape surrounding the wildlife. A steppe is a vast area of barren land without any plantation except for shrubs.  A luxuriant meadow filled with a great variety of flora and fauna is a welcome sight. Populating this territory you will meet Arabian wolves, Antelopes, and Nilgais. Nilgai is the largest Asian Antelope.

Step onto a train crossing through the Arab village and watch the horses, birds, ostriches and falcons enjoying their day. It will take about 20 to 25 minutes to…

African Village

Moving to the African region of the park which welcomes you with a set of the African savannas and rainforest, gives you feel of the real African landscapes. Here you will be greeted by the giant tortoises, chimpanzees, hyenas, flamingos, African wild dogs and the regal white lions. Even in this village, you can take the train or Safari car to ride around and enjoy the animals. There are four stops where you can walk and watch the white lions ready to play through the glass walls, plus gorillas, pygmy hippos, lemur, bongo and okapi which is one of the endangered species that the forest is breeding. The ride around this section of the park will take somewhere between 90 to 140 minutes.

Asian Village

Here in the Asian village the scenery, the environment, the landscape is all set to reflect the Asian forests. You can take a walk along the dense trees of the enclosure and witness the beautiful Asian creatures. This will require at around 30 to 90 minutes of your time. The species to see here are the Komodo Dragons, Moon Bears and Gibbons. Along with these, there are elephants, pandas and monkeys and a variety of birds and reptiles.

The Children’s Farm

Visiting the Dubai safari park with children, you just cannot miss out on the most adventurous section of the park. Close to the park’s entrance is the children’s corner specially designed to keep the children involved. This is an educational spot where children can learn about farm animals, their importance and how to take care of them. The farm features farm animals such as sheep, cows, goats and chickens. Activities involve collecting milk and eggs and riding ponies.

Wadi Village

Of course, no tourist spot is complete without eateries.  The Wadi village offers you a relaxing spot which has water streams flowing through it and fishing ponds all powered by solar energy. After the tour, you can relax in the green valley and treat yourself to the delicious foodstuff being offered by the restaurants and eateries.

The Dubai Safari Park has thematic villages for you to explore, where you will find wildlife living as close to freely as in their natural habitat. To make exploring the entire park more manageable, the breakdowns into small villages help in not only planning your day as to how and which one you will cover first but also the thematic ambiance of each village adds to the atmosphere of the environment giving it more authenticity.

Arabian Desert Safari

Influenced by the vast and endless desert of Western Asia, the Arabian Desert Safari is a drive-through attraction and is filled with some of the most prominent emblematic species belonging to the Arabian Peninsula. The theme of this village is to bring life to the traditional nomadic desert of the Arabian Peninsula.

The hero animal of this village is the Arabian Wolf. A subspecies of the grey wolf, it thrives on the Arabian Peninsula. Despite being among the tiniest species of wolves, it has amazingly adapted to desert life. You will find them in pairs or small groups instead of large packs.

The conservation status of Arabian Wolves is vulnerable since they are often shot down or poisoned by farmers as these carnivores are prone to eat domestic animals like goats.

The native animals of this village are Arabian Gazelle, Addax, Arabian Oryx, Mountain Gazelle, Sand Gazelle, and Scimitar-horned Oryx.

Asian Village

Inspired by the rich ornate architecture of Asia, the Asian Village will take you on a splendid journey into the diversified culture of the continent. You will find a wide range of thriving wildlife since, just like in the continent itself, this portion of the park is brimmed with animals that live anywhere from the thick bushes of the forest to the pristine ponds.

The hero animal of the Asian Village is the Moon Bear.  Carnivorous by nature, it gets its name because of the moon-like crescent-shaped white patch on its chest. Extremely huge in size, the males can grow up to 150 kg while the females can weigh up to 90 kg. They are also known as Asiatic Black Bears.

Their conservation status is vulnerable due to illegal trading and poaching, loss of natural habitat in the wild, and cruel bile harvesting in captive breeding farms. These threats have made them vulnerable to exist freely, and initiatives taken down by this park are actions that can cause their numbers to finally rise.

The other native animals in the Asian Village are Gibbon, Mandarin Duck, and Southern Cassowary.  Another attractive feature of this village is its exclusive show – ‘Amazing Creatures of the World’. You get to witness the wild animals in their natural state as they swim through the water, soar in the air, and stroll on the land. Be sure to check with the authorities beforehand to know the schedule and capacity of the shows.

African Village

Africa is known for its eclectic wildlife, and that is exactly what this African Village is themed upon. Intended to give the visitors a taste of how it is being around some of the world’s smallest as well as largest mammals is like, you will get an authentic taste of the African land in this portion of the park.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the hero animal of this village is the African Elephant. Weighing an astonishing 6,000 kg, this mammal can measure up to 3.3 m at its shoulder. No wonder it has earned the distinction of being the largest land mammal not only in Africa but in the entire world.

They use their trunks for detecting vibrations, caressing their young ones, sucking up water, smelling, and breathing, as well as picking up objects. They are an endangered species, and their conservation is a priority, which is why providing a safe space for them is crucial.

This village also has a humongous spread of native animals, including Cheetah, Blue Throated Conure, Crowned Guineafowl, Bongo, Ring- Tailed Lemur, Red-Ruffed Lemur, Chimpanzee, Peacock, Gorilla, Ring Tail Lemur, Green Iguana, African Spoonbill, African Shelduck, Cape Teal, Wood Duck, Tree Duck, Piapiac Crow, Indian Roller, Cattle Egret, Little Egret, Indian Peafowls, Golden Pheasant, Chukar Partridge, Meerkat, Shelduck, and Mallard, among others.

While there, don’t miss out on the Gorilla House, Chimpanzee House, the Reptile House, which has over 50 species of reptiles, and the Grand Aviary, which houses hundreds of birds from around the world.

Explorer Village

What makes Dubai Safari Park special is its drive-thru experiences, where you get to go on a wild journey of the land of Africa and Asia on a comfortable bus while getting insights into varied life forms.

The hero animal of this village is Cheetah, which is the fastest mammal on land. With a slender body and long limbs, their physique explains their extraordinary ability to run at an astonishing speech. They are among the most vulnerable animal species in the world due to heavy poaching. So, creating a safe habitat for the continuation of life for the future generation of this iconic carnivore is paramount.

Some other attractive feature of this village includes the Colorful Birds Show, where you will get a close understanding of the complexities of the lives of several of nature’s winged ambassadors. This 25-minute edutainment is surely going to create memories that last a lifetime. The Safari Journey that takes place every day from 09:00 AM to 04:30 PM shouldn’t be missed since you get to be close to zebras, tigers, lions, rhinos, etc., in a drive-through trip. And not to forget, the wholesome experience of giraffe feeding!

The native animals of this village include Hippo, South Africa Giraffe, Blackbuck, Nilgai, Nile Crocodile, White Stork, Guineafowl, Eland, Impala, Big Horned Sheep, Giraffe, Sarus Cranes, Wise Owl, African Spoonbill, Tiger, Brown Lion, Marabou Stork, Grey Crowned Crane, Barbary Sheep, Nubian Ibex, Rhino, African Buffalo, Ostrich, Watusi, Striped Hyena, Guineafowl, Demoiselle Crane, Axis Deer, Blackbuck, Hog Deer, and Sable Antelope, among others.

An absolute delight for all the kids, you will find some of the park’s cutest and friendliest animals in this zone. Providing a wholesome experience where you get to watch your kids play with various farmyard animals such as goats, donkeys, ducks, birds, ponies, and sheep, among others, it is a gift from the park to its younger visitors.

You can just spend hours at the Kids Far Aviary or the Goat Barn and will still want more because of how captivating it is being around these harmless animals. This is a perfect mix between a petting zoo and a farm where fun and education go hand in hand. The visitors can feed the animals and know about their history, origin, and life status.

The farm animals that you will find here are Rose-ringed Parakeet, Budgie Love Bird, Local Duck, Pygmy Goat, Rosella, Eurasian Bullfinch, Plum-headed Parakeet, Amazon Parrot, African Love Bird, Cockatiel, Black Hooded Parrot, Love Bird, Alexandrine Parakeet, Pony, Donkey, and Najdi Sheep.

Providing the much-needed respite and break as you recharge your batteries between moving from one village to another, the Al Wadi area is your place for refreshment. You can chill and dine here as you relax in its two restaurants or grab snacks from the kiosk.

Take a walk on the grass and enjoy being around the peacocks, pelicans, swans, and ducks, and immerse yourself in the relaxation it provides through its delicious food, calming ambiance, and pleasant vibe. And in between, catch up on the educational show of some amazing birds of prey that are played throughout the day.

What special features does a PLUS ticket bring?

If you have a PLUS ticket, then you can have reserved seats at the live shows of the park and also have access to the train services.

Is there a refund for canceling tickets available?

Refunds on canceling a ticket or package are not available, unfortunately. Furthermore, once bought, you can’t change the dates for the tickets and packages.

Do I need to print my e-tickets?

You don’t have to print your e-tickets since showing them at the turnstiles of the park is enough to get admission. However, please make sure the barcodes are clearly displayed on your phones.

More of a mountain person than beach, more of a culture-trip person than just visits! Having travelled to most of North India when I was a kid to backpacking across South India in my adulthood, I learnt that you often find your 'self' in the most unpredicted of places. And that is my inspiration to travel. To connect with nature, people and cultures. Books are my companion and I find my soul in trees. Music, yoga and literature is my passion. I often dream of attending a Peruvian wedding or living in a quaint Hungarian town for a while. When I am not writing, I would love to go hiking or explore the hidden valleys of Himalayas. Until then, some running and some literature is enough for me to get by!

About Safari Park

Dubai Safari Park, located in Al Warqa 5, houses approximately 3,000 animals from all over the world, across a 119-hectare site. The park first opened to the public in December 2017 by Dubai Municipality, under the directive of His Highness Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. In 2020, as part of its rebranding strategy, Dubai Municipality revitalized the way that Dubai Safari Park operates, with an emphasis on customer experience, educational projects, and promoting the wide range of animal welfare and conservation strategies that underpin the park’s creation The reimagined Dubai Safari Park consists of five key attractions, including the African Village, Asian Village, Arabian Desert Safari, Explorer Village, and Adventure Valley. Visitors can also explore the free-roaming areas, experience standout attractions such as the Safari Journey and Kids Farm.

Owners of Dubai’s new Dh1 billion safari park, Dubai Safari, have promised to ‘look after their animals’. Timothy Husband, Technical Director of Dubai Safari, has reportedly said that the attraction will not exploit its animals in circus-style performances or public interactions; stating that “they will be behaving naturally”.

The Born Free Foundation has welcomed Mr. Husband’s reassurances, but will remain vigilant to the new zoos’ activities. Born Free has recently expressed concern to the UAE authorities over the reports that hundreds of wild animals have been imported into Dubai from Africa and Asia to stock the new zoo. Daniel Turner, a spokesperson for Born Free, who visited Dubai earlier this year, said, “We have asked the Ministry of Environment to take a cautious approach when approving the requests for animal imports for Dubai Safari and further, urged the relocation and rehoming of all the animals from Dubai’s City Zoo to Dubai Safari.” Born Free has campaigned for years for the improvement or closure of Dubai’s City Zoo, where the majority of animals are kept in appalling conditions. Turner continues, “Whilst these animals’ release into the wild is not possible, at least the animals of Dubai City Zoo should have better living conditions in Dubai’s new zoo”

Dubai Safari Park has four themed sections. Enter the Arabian Desert Safari Zone to connect with indigenous flora and fauna. At the African Village, feel the exotic diversity and specialty of the African wildlife. The aptly named Asian Village introduces visitors to the Asian continent’s vibrant biodiversity and iconic wildlife species. The most exhilarating experiences await as you step into the Explorer Village, where you can brace yourself up for a fantastic drive-through session that brings you closer to some majestic creatures, such as cheetahs, tigers, brown lions, etc., all freely roaming in their natural habitat.

Dubai Safari Park is home around 3,000 animals, with 78 species of mammals - including 10 different carnivores and 17 primates - 50 types of reptiles, 111 kinds of birds plus amphibians and invertebrates, all living on the 119-hectare site.

• Arabian Desert Safari
• Asian Village
• Explorer Village
• African Village

The park offers several experiences that allow guests to have an up-close encounter with its residents across diverse zones. Embark on a thrilling safari journey, join a rhino or bird feeding session, and watch the Amazing Creatures of the World show at the Asian Village Theatre.

Unlocking The Wild: A First-Hand Account Of A Dubai Safari Park Adventure

Surpassing its futuristic architecture and dip into innovation, Dubai is a city that knows how to pluck out global experiences and have them make a grand appearance in its city. Taking inspiration from the African animal safari, Dubai re-created that experience by opening up its own Safari Park at Al Warqa 5.

Divided into different zones, each with its own geographical theme, the park boasts the African village, the Asian village, and Al Wadi. It was an unmissable opportunity, so during our visit to Dubai, we decided to drop it a visit and see if it was actually worth the hype.

Through our experience, we were able to create a guide that includes everything, from prices to dos and don’ts.

Knowing that it’s a massive park of 119 hectares , it’s easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you have to get up early and arrive at 10 a.m. to visit the entire area, especially knowing that the park closes at 5 p.m.

On visiting the park, we found out that even if you arrive at 1 p.m., you’ll be able to visit the entire park before the clock strikes 5. Arriving at the entrance, we headed to the ticket counter, where a large glass-paneled display showcased four different packages to choose from.

We went for the 90-Dirham Safari Journey Package, which is probably the best option to truly experience the entire park. It has the actual replicated 35-minute safari bus tour as well as a 10-minute open bus Arabian desert safari experience. Along with that, you get free bus transportation to the entire park and its zones instead of having to walk.

African Village

Home to more than 3,000 animals, Dubai Safari Park is the perfect way to meet all the animals and learn new information about each one.

Across the park, the African village is a must-go-to, as it’s the biggest and has lots of animals, from lions to hippos, elephants, and giraffes.

At a typical zoo, there are square plaques in front of each cage with dense and boring information about the animals inside. Dubai Safari Park takes that boring technique and throws it out the window. Instead, you’ll find cool, interactive displays throughout the park.

For example, at the Chimpanzee House, they have a cool display of life-sized replicas of the hands of each type of ape, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans.

Guests get to place their hands on the replicated counterparts to compare their size to that of the monkeys. Turns out, the hands of the chimpanzee are very similar to our own.

Now, let’s take a journey to our next stop: Explorer Village, home to the safari journey experience.

Safari Journey

Unlike animal safaris in Africa, where the tour is usually done in an open-aired jeep, in Dubai, you get the safari experience in the comfort of a bus with expansive glass windows for a full view of the animals.

This wasn’t just any bus, as throughout the 35-minute trip, it was close to the animals to the point where a tiger was right below us, and we could see the minute details of each of its large black stripes.

In addition to being so close to animals, such as getting an up-close look at a lion’s gaping mouth and teeth as he took a massive yawn while perched on a rock, we got to learn cool nuggets of information from the guide sitting at the front of the bus.

She taught us about animals as we passed through more than 25 zones and got to see everything from crocodiles, buffalos, lions, tigers, and hippos to rhinos, zebras, baboons, antelopes, hyenas, and giraffes.

Giraffe Feeding

After the safari tour, you’ll find yourself back at Explorer Village. For the adventurous souls, the giraffe feeding zone at the village is a must-do.

Bear in mind you’ll have to pay 15 Dirhams for a pack of 5 peeled carrots to feed the giraffe. Feeding them is quite the experience, as they have elongated purple tongues akin to octopus tentacles that wiggle and move at rapid speeds.

We decided to have fun with the experience by wafting the carrot left and right to tease the giraffe. It was fun seeing it swoop in with its tongue and slurp the entire carrot into its throat in a rapid motion.

For anyone who loves farm animals, this is the place to go since you’ll get to touch and play with cows, donkeys, goats, and chickens. We got to pat a baby cow that had these deep, large black coal eyes, which is an experience we always wanted to try.

Besides the farm, there’s a caged space that’s home to the green parakeet. On entering, you’re given sunflower seeds to feed the green parakeets.

It’s super fun, as you merely reach out to them with an open-faced palm full of seeds, and you’ll find them either plucking them out of your hand or jumping onto your wrist and nibbling on their favorite meal. If you’re lucky, you might find one on top of your head or on your shoulder if they’re feeling extra friendly.

Asia Village

The park is a great experience, and what’s indicative of that is there was only one zone that we felt wasn’t worth the visit: the Asian village. It’s not only small in size, but it also houses 4 animals, all of which you could barely see as they’re pretty inactive, especially the black bear, which was hiding and sleeping behind a massive bridge.

All in all, visiting Dubai Safari Park is a fun, unique, and out-of-the-box experience that can be enjoyed in the city. It’s also a great and interactive way to learn about several animals in a way that’s not boring and overtly educational.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
