Dubai Safari Park is the city’s largest wildlife park, home to animals from Africa, Asia and Arabia set across landscaped habitats in Al Warqa. Season 8 opened on 12 October 2026 and is scheduled to run until the end of May 2027, making it an ideal outing in the cooler months.

Six zones to explore

The park is divided into the African Village, Asian Village, Explorer Village, Arabian Desert Safari, Kids Farm and Al Wadi. Walking routes lead past giraffes, primates, big cats and birds, and free daily presentations such as Birds of Prey and Bird’s Kingdom are included with entry. The Kids Farm and the Little Explorers’ Base Camp keep younger children busy with gentle animal contact and activities.

Safari rides

Every admission ticket currently includes the Arabian Desert Safari, a guided ride through habitats for native desert species. Upgrading to the Safari Bundle adds the Explorer Safari Tour, which drives through open-range areas for lions, rhinos and hippos, plus unlimited use of the park’s shuttle train. Premium experiences such as behind-the-scenes tours and dining near the animals are also offered, along with paid animal encounters with limited places.

Planning your visit

The park is currently open daily from 9am to 6pm, with last entry at 5pm. Mornings are cooler and animals are often more active. Children under 3 and People of Determination enter free, and parking is free. Send us your preferred date and ticket choice, and we will confirm availability and the final price on WhatsApp.
