In the heart of the sea routes of Asia is a small island of Singapore . If you had the opportunity to visit this amazing place, then by all means visit the River Safari, which opened here not so long ago, but has already gained worldwide fame.
A bit of history and theory
River Safari in Singapore is a park that appeared in 2013, although it was built about 7 years ago. It serves as a logical continuation of the Singapore Zoo , but has its unique flora and fauna. Here you can find more than 300 species of animals, many of which are endangered.
The area of the River Safari occupies 12 hectares and its territory is visited by about 1,000,000 people during the year. This unique natural complex will allow visitors to get acquainted with the ecosystems of the largest freshwater rivers - the Nile, Mississippi, Amazon, Ganges and others.
Animal world
For many, the main purpose of visiting the River Safari is two giant pandas that live in a specially designated area for them with a certain microclimate. This is the most basic exposition of the theme park.
But not only here you can see them - the Chinese alligator and the Nile crocodile, the closest relative of the pandas are the red panda, the jaguar, the big anteater, the pink flamingos and many other forest dwellers from all over the world who can be found right here. All of them are in close proximity to tourists, but are protected by glass.
Sitting on a boat that floats along the canal, one can survey the banks where the leopards languidly recline and the Mexican tapirs peacefully wander. Children and adults like the open-air cage with small monkeys, where you can communicate with them without any restrictions.
How to get there?
You can reach the park in several ways:
- Rent a car and go to coordinates.
- By public transport , for example, by bus number 138 and 927. The stop is S'pore Zoological Gdns.

Undersea world
The water world of this park is very rich, after all all kinds of strange fish of the largest fresh-water rivers of the planet are collected here. To see them, you do not need to dive with aqualung, just get out of the sightseeing boat and get into their natural habitat, but just behind the glass.
After the tour
After visiting the River Safari in Singapore, each person will have an unforgettable experience, especially if reminded of them will be souvenirs from a small store-cafe "River safari". Tired tourists will be offered not only to buy pleasant little things, but also nourishing dishes of local cuisine. We recommend then continue the tour and in the evening look into the neighboring park with a similar name - Night Safari , where you can observe the night inhabitants of the flora and fauna in their natural environment.
The cost of visiting and working hours of the River Safari
The park is perfect for families with children . Children up to three years can visit the park for free, but with the availability of relevant documents. After this age, one child needs to pay $ 3, and an adult costs $ 5. Tickets can be purchased on the official website or directly at the checkout, which usually does not have queues.
