Finally!! The entrance! Looking forward!
Puppet show! The area just outside the gift shops before you enter into Night Safari! The place where the tribal performances are! You can look forward to their fire-eating act!
Well, this is the toilet. I guess we girls just like to take pictures in toilets. Look at the huge fish tank behind!
One of the gift shops, aren't the gift shop beautiful?? Just look at how they decorated it like a village house.
Starting of our Fishing Cat Trail to the world of cats family(Mousedeer, leopard, otter and more!) There are signboards like this all over Night Safari, so don't worry about getting lost=]
Information board at each exhibition. There are also recordings of the information in 4 languages - English, Chinese, Malay and Japanese.

There's an exhibition of snake on the day of our trip! There are real snakes' bones, dried skin, teeth and all.. Now i know how sharp their teeth are..
Now to the mangrove walk! Pretty scary while walking in, and just hear how Germaine and Roselind scream! O well, they are girls, aren't they. Haha. The bats inside don't attack, so not to worry.(unless they are provoked of course) And, make sure you keep your eyes open so as to catch a glimpse of the bats, because they fly real fast!
Inside the gift shops! Here is the place to look for your souvenirs! They have plushies, magnets, postcards, books, shirt, caps and many more, so make a trip down, don't miss it!
The animal hats! we love them=D
The cute little plushies!
We are certainly enjoying ourselves!
Leaving for home.. U can bet, we are certainly going back again!=D

  • Cultural performances and Creatures of the Night Show(7.30pm7.30pm, 8.30pm, and 9.30pm daily.

The information are all classified clearly and you can look for the information you want easily.
Now, for some tips!
  • If you want to take photos of the animals, be sure to be there early before it gets too dark, because most of the exhibition are too dimly lit to take pictures! But, if you got there too late, don't worry, because you can purchase postcards of animals at the gift shop=]

  • If you want to have a good view of the Creatures of the Night Show, make sure to be there early around 15-30minutes before the show because the seats are on first come first serve basis! The best seat are in the center of the front rows! Hurry!

  • Remember to bring a portable fan, because we got kind of hot walking along the tracks. But there are also fans in shelters along the tracks. The gift shops also have air cons!=]

  • Remember to bring insect repellent too, cause i got bitten by mosquito while walking on the trails!

  • We recommend you to walk along the trails first because by the time you finish, you would be tired, so you can take the tram ride around the Night Safari to get a view of rest of the animals in Night Safari(some of the exhibits are not viewable from the trails). The price of the tram are $10/adult and $5/child, more information can be view at http://www.nightsafari.com.sg/visitor/rates.htm

  • Look out for the cute Otters!( Germaine got obsessed with them when she first saw them!Haha. If you are lucky, you can get to see them quarrelling. They are really cute=] The Giant Flying Squirrel are also recommended! They can fly real far from one tree to another just right above your heads! And, they aren't separated from you by wire nets, so be careful they land on your head! Haha.

Tempted to come?? Don't think anymore! Get down to Night Safari now!
See you there!
