About Safari Park

Dubai Safari Park, located in Al Warqa 5, houses approximately 3,000 animals from all over the world, across a 119-hectare site. The park first opened to the public in December 2017 by Dubai Municipality, under the directive of His Highness Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. In 2020, as part of its rebranding strategy, Dubai Municipality revitalized the way that Dubai Safari Park operates, with an emphasis on customer experience, educational projects, and promoting the wide range of animal welfare and conservation strategies that underpin the park’s creation The reimagined Dubai Safari Park consists of five key attractions, including the African Village, Asian Village, Arabian Desert Safari, Explorer Village, and Adventure Valley. Visitors can also explore the free-roaming areas, experience standout attractions such as the Safari Journey and Kids Farm.

Owners of Dubai’s new Dh1 billion safari park, Dubai Safari, have promised to ‘look after their animals’. Timothy Husband, Technical Director of Dubai Safari, has reportedly said that the attraction will not exploit its animals in circus-style performances or public interactions; stating that “they will be behaving naturally”.

The Born Free Foundation has welcomed Mr. Husband’s reassurances, but will remain vigilant to the new zoos’ activities. Born Free has recently expressed concern to the UAE authorities over the reports that hundreds of wild animals have been imported into Dubai from Africa and Asia to stock the new zoo. Daniel Turner, a spokesperson for Born Free, who visited Dubai earlier this year, said, “We have asked the Ministry of Environment to take a cautious approach when approving the requests for animal imports for Dubai Safari and further, urged the relocation and rehoming of all the animals from Dubai’s City Zoo to Dubai Safari.” Born Free has campaigned for years for the improvement or closure of Dubai’s City Zoo, where the majority of animals are kept in appalling conditions. Turner continues, “Whilst these animals’ release into the wild is not possible, at least the animals of Dubai City Zoo should have better living conditions in Dubai’s new zoo”

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Dubai Safari Park is home around 3,000 animals, with 78 species of mammals - including 10 different carnivores and 17 primates - 50 types of reptiles, 111 kinds of birds plus amphibians and invertebrates, all living on the 119-hectare site.
