After visiting the Zoo, we continue the fun at the Night Safari which is located just next to the Zoo. Three mins walk to the world’s first wildlife park for night visit, viewing animals at night in an open air zoo concept.

Night safari open at 7.30pm, so we had our lunch at Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant.

Catch up Creatures of the Night Show at 7.30pm, holiday is full house. Here we could get close to the animals while a nice show in a small amphitheatre took place. No flash photograph allowed during the show, the flash will cause the animals blind.

The highlights were binturongs, raccoons, wolves, hyenas, what you see in the picture is the servals. They are very close to the audience, so when the show start all the gate is closed to avoid the animals run away.

20ft python is drawn from the audience, it is kept under the seats the whole time and make the audience scream! The muscle guy lucky or unlucky to have a python put around his neck.

Here are some otters that are trained to sort garbage into recycling bins that are marked paper, plastic, or tin. It was fun to see otters keep rolling the tin.

After the show we have to queue up for the Tram ride.

Another 45 mins to wait for our turn and we feel like kena cheat because our ticket doesn't include the Tram ride, no way to give up after long queue and we spent another $10 for the ticket.

Here we go again no flash photograph during the ride, this is the best shot I can take for elephant at night. Seeing different kinds of animals outside cages was incredible, 45 minute of tram ride but not all animals you can see if they doesn't stand on the spotlight area. What most incredible is the tour guide can even speak out their name like how the hell he know who is who? We see nothing and he know exactly their location. Well for me the experience at Night Safari, it will be a wonderful experience if you didn't visit Singapore Zoo, seen too much of the same species have no feeling, sien jor.

The Night Safari open daily 7.30pm to 12.00pm. After the tram ride finish at 10.00pm we take bus and go home straight because we are too tired after walking for whole day (me even worst because I just cycling at Taman Pertanian yesterday).
