A huge beautiful territory, you can walk for a very long time. Geographically far away - either by taxi, which is expensive, or through an excursion.
We had very comfortable conditions for walking in winter, we were very tired in 5 hours.
Advantages: a very beautiful territory, a variety of animals, beautiful landscapes, a separate children's area (immediately at the entrance to the left), a steam train for transporting visitors, animal habitat conditions are as close as possible to natural ones.
Cons: the tour in English: fast and not everything is clear; of the food, as usual, only fast food - we escaped in the Indian village with pilaf (it was not spicy, it was suitable for a child); safari with wild animals was a little disappointing: you are traveling in a completely closed glass bus that moves along a certain route and you have to wait a long time for the iron gates to open and close, the children get bored, because there are a lot of such stops. But the safety is at a height.

It's a very nice place. Modern facilities, large territory (you can't get around everything in a day). There are a lot of animals, from meerkats to hyenas, giraffes, and lions. The ticket is not very expensive. There are also a lot of fans with water on site, so it's not very hot.

A huge territory divided into zones, you can walk both in the territory itself and in the zones separately, and between them you can travel by special buses that often run. You can see a huge number of animals, many in their natural habitats. You can feed the giraffes. There are aquariums, the baby hippopotamus examined so closely was directly amazed! There is a cafe with average prices, there is a mini supermarket with ice cream.

It so happened that it was necessary to leave the apartment in the morning, and the flight was late in the evening. In order to spend some time and not sit at the airport, it was decided to go straight to the Safari Park with suitcases.
We left our luggage for storage in the park for free, from 11 a.m. we spent an unforgettable time there until 5 p.m., I never thought that it could be so interesting in fact in a zoo) a lot of emotions and memories)
We spent about an hour in an aviary with parrots,
The child could not tear himself away from them, he was very fascinated that birds sit on their hands, shoulders, eat seeds from the palm of their hand, at the entrance to the cage with parrots, the employee gave each visitor a handful of seeds, and inside some kind of madness began, colorful birds, several pieces sit on their hand and eat seeds, emotionally)
The whole family liked the tour of the aviaries with wild animals on a busik. Still, it's not every day that you see a tiger from a car window, lazily walking 2 meters away from you..
In general, the place is atmospheric, positive, I really liked everything!

Great zoo/safari. We were with a child for 7 months, we went everywhere without problems, including a safari tour. In many places, they ask you to leave the wheelchair at the entrance of the pavilions. It is not necessary to travel between villages by road train, because the distance between the entrances is not that big. We took a ride 1 time) then everything is on foot.
There are a lot of animals, there is someone to look at. But they rest during the day, of course) wolves, lions, hippos were napping😅
It is better to buy a hat (if you want) at a souvenir shop immediately from the entrance for 65 aed, at a kiosk at the entrance a similar one is sold for 75)

The park was made cool, but with a tube navigation. You have to take a ticket, which includes traveling on buses, although I'm not sure that everyone in a row doesn't sit on beads. By the time we figured out where to go, where to go, the day has passed. If I had known that everything was so complicated, I would have prepared better, I would have looked for the scheme on the Internet. If they had paper cards at the entrance, there would be no problem. There is a separate safari tour inside, there was such a queue there that I doubt it's worth it. To summarize. I liked the price of 50 AED for adults without transport and 75 AED with a bead. It's beautiful, it's green, we were in January, the weather is good. If you like such places, it's worth going. To be more precise, a taxi left the port of Rashid 100 aed. Asia village liked the performance. It's in English, though. I didn't like the lack of sane navigation. I saw online that some company is offering an escorted tour. It's a good option for this place.

I definitely liked the park, but after reading the reviews, I had high expectations.
I arrived at 10 a.m. and immediately started with the African village, then giraffe feeding + safari, then the Asian village and the kids zone (there are fun locations for adults, for example, to feed parrots).
I saw almost all the animals, but again they are far away from the viewer and it is possible to photograph them only when the zoom is approaching, it will not be possible to examine them particularly, since they are far away and can generally hide in a large area.
After 12 a.m., there were a lot more people in the park, and there were queues everywhere, and this was on a weekday.
I recommend taking a safari, I liked it, but there is no point in taking a train that carries around the territory, the territory is not as big as it seems, and if you like to walk without babies in strollers, then you can do without a train.
I recommend feeding lemurs, I really liked it. I do not recommend feeding giraffes, they gave me 5 twigs, which the giraffe ate in 10 seconds and turned away to the next feeders. During feeding, the fats can be photographed up close for free.
In general, I highly recommend it for visits with children. Take a snack with you, there are benches in the park, you can sit down and have a snack.

A gorgeous, very interesting place - I definitely recommend it to visit. I visited a lot of places in Dubai with my two daughters - according to both impressions, the Safari Park is in the first place. Lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, various types of monkeys, hippos, hyenas

It's a very cool place. There are many different animals, all well-fed, but like everywhere else, they look for nooks in the shade from the heat. I really liked the pavilion with birds, parrots, ducks and peacocks are tame, fly in, eat by hand.

A great zoo, we were a little worried that it would be hot to walk, but for visitors there are canopies with fans with water sprinklers almost everywhere. But animals naturally hide in the heat)
Large beautiful areas, between them you can take a taxi for 5 dirhams / person or by bus.
There are a lot of animals, valliers are huge, for a fee there is a small safari among predators, or you can feed a giraffe)))

We were with our family in mid-November 2024. For an adult, a ticket to the pedestrian park costs 50 AED without moving on an air-conditioned train, but at the same time we were given a free ride on an open electric car instead of a train. Why buy for 75 AED with a train is unclear. And plus 50 AED safari bus with glasses, show lions, tigers and buffaloes. We were there from 12 p.m. until closing time (6 p.m.). All the animals hid in the heat, half were only visible. There are not enough animals. Compared to the Moscow zoo, it is less saturated, but the animals are more at ease. It's a lot to walk, you have to lay the whole day. We got to a couple of free shows - (the schedule is posted there). They were both about birds, they flew on stage and flew away. In general, there is no wow effect from the zoo. The pedestrian zoo is comparable to the Moscow one, and the safari part on the closed bus did not meet expectations - half the time out of the 45 minutes of the tour the bus stands in the locks between the enclosures, and the animals pass quickly, you can not even take a photo. And if the animals are on the other side of the bus, then that's all, it's not fate. Just relax and sit with the air conditioner, maybe...
In the pedestrian part, there is also a mini safari on an open electric car for free at the very beginning, they carry 15 minutes without locks between all kinds of antelopes - and it seemed more interesting.
There is a nice pavilion with birds in the part of the African Village Zoo. You can walk among peacocks and parrots.
You can't feed the animals anywhere. Even in the children's zoo.
It's a long drive to the zoo from the city center.
In general, if you have a whole day of vacation that you don't have anything to spend, then you can go. If you are waiting for a wow safari, then alas, they will take you past the lion and tiger quickly and that's it.

A beautiful and unusual zoo. There are no animals in cages here - everyone is given a large area. The territory of the park is divided into villages, the most interesting were the African and the research, where you can take a bus to watch the predators up close. Free shuttles travel around the territory.

Excellent park, large territory, I advise you to purchase the maximum ticket with the opportunity to use not only a transfer through the park, but also to take two safari tours.
There are cafes, shops, toilets and smoking areas throughout the property.

Great zoo! We took the penultimate ticket for the price) first we went to the children's area, there is a cool pavilion with birds. The parrots sat on their heads and were very sociable. The children are delighted! Then they did not immediately figure out that it was necessary to travel between the zones by tram, they went on foot and almost boiled! Then we went back to the start and figured it out. It's cool that you only need to walk inside the zones, and electric cars run between them. I liked the feeding of the giraffe, it is on time, food for a separate price. I liked the safari, but not everyone understood, the English language is very fast with the guide) but it's beautiful, and they guessed the meaning. There are many previously unknown animals. Cool areas with fans and steam. On the way back, we returned to the parrots - they were already well-fed and did not go to people. We took snacks, prices are like everywhere else, there are a lot of recreation areas. The zoo is closing for the summer, we were in April 24th. I recommend it!

We were with my husband and child for 2.5 years, I liked everything. I recommend coming to the opening, there are no queues up to 12, everything was comfortable. We were on safari, it's interesting. It is better to set aside 5-6 hours to visit and eat everything.

10 out of 10, I recommend it to children and adults! Take a safari bus. Stop at it next to the giraffes)) you don't see much on foot, and you may not be able to look through the aviaries, the animals go to sleep, hide from the sun, and the safari bus is always in their attention (or we were so lucky)

Everything was done very efficiently. Air coolers are installed for people and animals. The territory is very large and beautiful. But most of the animals are very far from the fences and they are almost invisible.

Not impressed at all
It is located far away, you can only get there by taxi, it costs a decent amount.
It was written everywhere that it was open from 9 a.m., we arrived by this time, we stood under the fence for another 30 minutes, waiting for them to launch us, because it turns out that the park is open from 10…
Before visiting, check the website for reliable information about opening hours.
The territory is huge, there are few animals, there is no contact with animals, except for feeding the giraffe for a fee
You can travel around the territory on a shared tram.
The impression was smoothed out only by the show with the participation of animals that are not represented in the enclosures (they occur according to schedule, you need to look for information on the spot)
Our ticket included a safari, we rode through the enclosures in a minibus, it's fun, of course, to drive past a sleeping tiger, but again it's not very impressive.
I'm comparing it with places I've been to before, so this park is worth a visit if you haven't visited large zoos or zoo safaris in other countries before.

It's a beautiful park, we spent the whole day there. Be sure to take a safari ticket. The bus takes you to places where lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus live. You can see them up close.
Both adults and children were delighted 🤩

A cool place to visit with your family. Good infrastructure,shady canopies with fans and humidifiers everywhere 👌Before visiting, I advise you to go to the site, familiarize yourself with the map and locations, because it's hard to navigate on the spot and the signs are not very clear.
The territory is huge, stock up on time!
I advise you to additionally purchase a safari tour by bus (50aed), you will be taken directly to the animals and you will be able to see predators and other animals from a couple of meters away)

A wonderful place to relax for the whole family! A large collection of animals and birds, very interesting shows (I especially liked the feeding of wild birds). An interesting safari experience in a comfortable minibus with air conditioning for 40 minutes and a 10-minute safari in an open trailer. Courteous staff, easy navigation and movement around the territory by bus. The safari park is located remotely, but it is definitely worth a visit!!!

We got to the park on our own, first by subway, then by taxi. Tickets were bought at the box office, there is practically no queue. We took a ticket with a 35-minute guided safari bus (this is very interesting when you directly enter the territory where there are lions, monkeys, etc.animals). The territory is huge, so it is convenient to travel by buses that run constantly. Everything is done in such a way that finding animals is as close as possible to their life in the wild. The price tag in the cafe is quite acceptable, the food is delicious. Time passes unnoticed here, we stayed for 5 hours.

This is a miracle, I recommend it to everyone, both adults and children, the emotions are only positive.
The most interesting and crowded area of Africa is elephants, white rhinos, giraffes, of course, start with this zone, then to Asia, a great tactile zoo with pets.

We went to this park with my son today. The whole trip was one big disappointment. The main problem is that there is not enough information on the park's website. It all started with the fact that, based on the option offered by the park, we took the F10 bus from the Centrepoint metro station. No one wrote that the bus takes 1.5 hours to reach its destination and zigzags around all the numerous schools in the area. We have already gone back by taxi, 20 minutes and 37 dirhams are all fun. As a result, we arrived after 12, bought tickets and hurried to communicate with representatives of the fauna of different regions. Despite the fact that it was February, most of the animals were hiding in the shade and were very far from the visitors. So we didn't really see the big monkeys, lions, hippos, bears, etc. It wasn't bad in the African Village section, Asia is empty, once there were kangaroos, but now they are gone. Our dream was to feed the giraffes out of our hands, but it turns out that in addition to the basic extended ticket, we had to buy a separate feeding ticket, which can only be done in the park and most likely all tickets for the current day will be sold out by 12:00. The son sobbed for an hour from the shattered dream. The result is that there are few animals, you will not be able to see all of them, the territory is huge, look for information on your own, the site will not help you. There are much more pleasant places to observe animals. I do not recommend this park.

It's a cool place.
The best zoo I've seen so far.
You should definitely take a VIP for the money.
Feed all the animals separately.
And buy a tour inside.
It partially resembles Jurassic Park.

A very cool park. There are fans with irrigation everywhere, you can take a break from the heat. I don't remember if there were shops there, since we actively moved from one location to another for 4 hours and could have done more, but it was already closing) There is a cafe, you can have a snack and buy a lot of souvenirs. The most impressive thing is feeding different animals (there is a schedule). We got to giraffes-well, the buzz is fleeting though (I gave a couple of twigs and made room for another)

I don't know who the people who give this park 5 stars are. An absolutely banal safari park for three, unremarkable. Every resort town in the world has a similar zoo or safari park. It doesn't compare to normal zoos.
Outdoors, so the winter months are suitable for visiting. There is a huge queue at the entrance. There's also a queue inside for the train that takes you through the park. There is also a huge queue for a safari tour, which must be purchased separately. You'll be queuing longer than watching animals. There are no Fast tracks here.
The animals themselves are somewhere in the distance. The most banal ones, just like in any zoo.
Even the Moscow Zoo is better.
It's not worth the day.

The child and I enjoyed everything very much. We drove by ourselves, took the subway, then hailed a taxi by hand, paid by the meter. Many taxis were already parked at the exit from the zoo. We figured it out quickly, everything was intuitive, we went around everything, we looked at all the animals, we took an additional safari, the child was happy too, and so was I. Everything is worth the money. The animals are great, there are a lot of places, there are sprinklers everywhere. There are queues, but they disperse quickly enough. We walked for 5 hours.

A great place to relax with the whole family, don't be lazy, be sure to go! It does not compare with ordinary zoos. You need to set aside a whole day for a visit! You will see huge turtles, hippos, rhinoceroses, you can feed giraffes and take pictures with them, exotic birds are in the aviary, parrots will be at arm's length from you, and not behind bars somewhere there... Take a safari tour, it's about half an hour, but you'll have to stand in line at least. A guided bus will take you through the territories where lions, tigers, roe deer walk freely, monkeys jump. Of course, they are not all together, but divided into sections, but the impressions are still amazing, especially after half a day has passed through the park, and then you will also get a ride. There are some shows and you can see animal feedings, but we didn't have time for them. I would love to go back there even once.
The food on site is so-so, fast food, you can take a snack with you.

We got there by metro, from the metro by bus, but the bus takes quite a long time to go around the route of residential areas, keep in mind.
I really liked the safari too!

I am very glad that the park staff are doing everything to make it easier for you to endure the heat during the tour)) near each aviary there are canopies on which fans with humidifiers are installed. Each location (village) can be reached by air-conditioned train. But the most amazing thing is the safari bus. Where you get on a bus and it goes into every aviary with animals, at which, it can also go by water where there are water locations. In general, it's great!
