History

Dubai Safari Park opened in December 2017, replacing the original Dubai Zoo to provide a modern, expansive wildlife experience. The park was designed to support conservation, education, and tourism while offering animals larger, naturalistic habitats. The project aimed to create a sustainable sanctuary for over 2,500 animals from around the world, ensuring their welfare and encouraging public awareness of wildlife protection.

The Safari Park is divided into multiple themed zones, each replicating the natural environment of its species. From African savannahs to Asian jungles and Arabian deserts, visitors can witness authentic animal behavior while learning about conservation. The park has grown into a leading wildlife destination in the UAE, hosting guided tours, educational programs, and family-friendly experiences, solidifying Dubai’s reputation for world-class attractions.
