How to get to the Night Safari
The Night Safari is located in the northern Mandai region. The most direct public transport method is taking the MRT train to Khatib station (NS14) and transferring to the Mandai Khatib Shuttle, which drops visitors directly at the Mandai Wildlife EAST entrance plaza.
Standard public buses, including routes 138 and 927, also service the reserve. Ride-hailing vehicles and taxis can drop guests directly at the designated Mandai Wildlife EAST drop-off point.
Parking at the Night Safari
Drivers visiting the Night Safari must use the Mandai Wildlife EAST Carpark. This multi-storey parking facility is located near the main entrance plaza and accommodates vehicles with a maximum height clearance of 2.1 metres.
The car park operates on an electronic barrier system requiring an active EZ-Link, NETS FlashPay, or credit card. Standard hourly rates apply during the day, but complimentary parking is available daily across the reserve between 6:00 pm and 12:00 am.
How long to spend at the Night Safari
Most visitors require approximately three hours to fully experience the park. This allows enough time to ride the 30-minute guided tram, walk the four interconnected pedestrian trails, and attend the scheduled animal presentations.
Accessibility at the Night Safari
The Night Safari is supposedly fully accessible for wheelchair users. The paved walking trails feature allegedly gentle gradients, but from personal experience, I can confirm that they’re steep enough to make pushing a wheelchair along them very tough going. Moreover, the trails link together in a loop, taking the best part of two hours. I would strongly advise wheelchair users to stick to the tram ride. The Safari Adventure Trams are equipped with designated wheelchair slots, and staff are helpful.
Complimentary manual wheelchairs are available to borrow at the entrance on a first-come, first-served basis, while strollers and wagons can be rented for a fee. Accessible washrooms are situated at the entrance courtyard and within the park.
Inside / what to see at the Night Safari
The Night Safari is a nocturnal wildlife park that allows visitors to observe over 900 animals in naturalistic nighttime habitats without the use of bright lighting.
The primary way to explore is via the Safari Adventure Tram. This 30-minute guided ride takes guests through seven geographical zones, passing free-roaming Malayan tapirs, Asian elephants, and Indian rhinoceroses.
For a closer look, visitors can explore four walking trails: the Pangolin, Leopard, Tiger, and Tasmanian Devil trails. These paths offer intimate encounters with animals such as Sunda slow lorises, flying squirrels, and fishing cats.
A key highlight is the Creatures of the Night presentation at the Amphitheatre. This 20-minute show features the natural behaviours of nocturnal animals, including fennec foxes and raccoon dogs.
At the entrance courtyard, the Twilight Fire Spectacle provides entertainment before or after entering the park, with skilled performers showcasing fire dancing routines at scheduled intervals.
