By the light of the Silvery Moon

What better way to spend an evening than delving into the nocturnal habits of other living creatures to the accompaniment of owl hoots and wolf howls. Over one million curious visitors that take the Singapore Night Safari each year get to take a peek into the odd and fascinating night lives of more than 2,500 animals from around the world ranging over seven geographical areas from the cold Himalayan foothills down to the humid riverine swamps of South East Asia.

Visitors who are wary of exploring the safari park on foot at night can take the Safari Adventure Tour where, together with a group of like minded people they can marvel at the hitherto unknown activities that other living creatures get up to at night. Those on foot can have a truly enlightening experience. Walk through a giant aviary and catch the Malayan flying foxes going about their nocturnal business or see what leopards are up to from a glass observatory and catch a glimpse of fishing cats as they go on a hunt. For anyone who does not know what wallabies and other Aussie creatures are up to at night this is the time to find out by taking a trip down the Wallaby Trail.

To enhance this once in a lifetime night experience, catch the entertainment where a group of warriors from the Thumbuakar tribe from Borneo go through the paces of a thrilling performance complete with blow pipe demonstrations, tribal and fire dances. Visitors can also catch the interactive Creatures of the Night Show where for 20 minutes everyone is held in awe of the unexpected skills of nocturnal animals.

If all this activity has whetted the appetite, there is a great selection of food at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant which serves Singapore favourites like chili crab amidst a rural setting and the Bongo Bongo Bar that is well known for its scrumptious burgers. For an unusual gourmet experience board a moving safari tram where visitors can view the animals while enjoying delicious food, the next best thing to dining with the animals.

The night safari, which is a special feature, is only open at night and clever lighting effects such as the simulation of moonlight enhances the experience for visitors who can view the animals moving about. Beautifully landscaped natural barriers prevent the animals getting too close for comfort.
