This world's first wildlife park for nocturnal animals houses over 1,000 animals from 115 species (of which almost 30% are threatened) in its 40-hectare compound and attracts more than a million of the homosapien kind. The park can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram.
In line with its mission to promote biodiversity, the park focuses on the captive breeding of threatened species. Over the years, it has bred Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, fishing cats, red dholes, anoas, markhors, bantengs, Malayan tapirs and Asian lions, among other endangered species.
Wheelchair Accessibility
The park is extremely friendly to wheelchair, with gentle sloping pathways and no steps in sight. There are sufficient sanitary amenities for the handicapped which are well-maintained.
I didn't think it was feasible to tour the park on a single night by relying on just the winding pathways given its size. Thus my friends and I opted to take the tram. There are two trams with wheelchair ramps for easy boarding and alighting. As I could manage to transfer myself to any seat on the tram, I chose the last row and allowed the tram operator to store my wheelchair at the front.
The Amphitheatre for the Creatures of the Night show has areas marked out for wheelchair viewing which are at the topmost row. It's a pity as in this case, you won't get to be up-close with the performing animals. My friends chose to stay with me so I was ashamed that they couldn't enjoy the activities.
How To Get There
As there is no wheelchair accessible bus service available to Singapore Night Safari or the nearby Singapore Zoological Gardens, you have to either take a taxi or drive to the park. There are two parking lots designated for visitors displaying the disability sticker on their vehicles.
