A safari park divided into eight geographical zones, which can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram. It's world's first and only night-time safari park. Its state-of-the-art animal enclosures use natural barriers rather than bars of cages to divide the animals and their human visitors. The drama and mystery of the tropical jungle comes alive after dusk, at the world's premier Night Safari. Creatures from South America, Asia, & India greet visitors from their own naturalistic enclosures, which simulate that of their own homeland.
