The park is divided into themed villages: the African Village (lions, elephants, giraffes), the Asian Village, the Arabian Desert Safari (native wildlife including oryx and gazelles), the Explorer Village, and the Kids' Farm. The headline experiences are the guided Safari Journeys — open-vehicle drives through large enclosures that get you remarkably close to the animals.
Live presentations run through the day, including the popular bird show and reptile encounters. Plan your route around the show timings posted at the entrance.
The park is open daily, typically 9 AM to 5 PM (last entry mid-afternoon). Standard tickets cover the villages on foot; Safari Journey upgrades add the guided vehicle drives and are well worth it. Exact prices are on our booking page.
