Guests can witness a plethora of wildlife creatures ranging from birds, animals and rare breeds that are native to Africa. Consisting of over 120 animals and over 100,000 African trees, this unique sightseeing experience is bringing something new to the emirate, attracting tourists and residents from all around the world.
While plans had initially been set out for the safari to open in 2021, the pandemic led to the delay, eventually leading it to open in the first quarter of 2022.
A key highlight for guests to witness on their visit is the first female southern white rhino born in the safari in August last year and Bridi, the first female giraffe born at the Safari as she’s quickly been adapted to her surroundings.
