We expected more. All the animals are exhausted by the heat, sleeping in the shade. The bus stops for a minute: it's impossible to view or take a video, but there's a decent queue. Everyone is being pushed to feed giraffes. Flamingos and flowers brightened up the impression. The child is very tired.

An interesting idea of a "safari through the territory". Some animals sleep at lunch, for example, lemurs were seen only after 15.00. To get to the feeding of giraffes, you need to be in time for 13.00 or 15.00.
The hippopotamus is in the water almost all the time, but it is visible. We had lunch at a local cafe with air conditioning (and here it is as relevant as possible), 100 dirhams for two (about 2,700 rubles).

This place is a must-visit in Dubai. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon - there weren't many people. The park itself is simply magnificent. It is very different from classic zoos for the better. Perfect cleanliness, well-groomed animals. There are minibuses for transportation. The most interesting exposition is the African Village. Lions and birds are super! There is also a mini safari for 45 minutes in a comfortable bus.

Awesome zoo, everything is very cool, but since most open-air enclosures are better visited early in the morning. We were in May at about 11 a.m. and it was unrealistically hot, so we all ran through the holop.

The establishment didn 't like the fact that you have to pay for everything . If you want to feed the giraffe, pay separately and stand in two queues, also with elephants and wild animals.

I liked the safari park, I was tired of the road (it takes 1 hour by bus from the metro). A safari with a guide (in English) took place on special buses, in addition to 5 themed villages. I suddenly liked the contact area for children with parrots, who sat on my arm and sat there calmly
It's an interesting park, but the animals are tired, old, and the safari itself is not interesting by bus, it's better to walk through the villages!

As in one of my previous reviews, I repeat and say that I do not like animals in cages. Therefore, when we were offered this zoo, they said that all the animals are not in cages, but move around large enclosures.
Like everything in Dubai, this zoo is considered the largest zoo in the world!
Let's go-visited-looked...
Conclusion:You wasted your money! The impression is the same as from the world's largest aquarium-a lot of pathos and conversations!
Minuses:
The zoo is divided into several zones, there is no plan as such in which sequence where to go (go). If our hotel guide hadn't painted the route, we would have been fooling around with the whole main crowd.
In the Explorer zone (which we started with), you move from aviary to aviary by mini bus. That is, during the day, the poor animals breathe the exhaust gas of the vehicle!
In all enclosures there are devices that are under electricity so that animals do not approach fences, gates, fences. That is, all animals received a charge in one way or another, since these things stand around the perimeter of all enclosures. It's a pleasure to look at these "free" animals.
All predators are very thin, either they are not fed during Ramadan, or they are on a diet, or they are just in great shape
The territory is very huge and to see the animals you need to walk a decent distance between the enclosures. For example, we walked from a gorilla to an elephant for 8 minutes. And so it is between all the enclosures
Huge areas in the zoo are occupied for cafes and snacks (how can it be without this)
There are 1-2 animals in each enclosure. And almost all of them are hiding in the shade. To see someone is good luck!
Result:we didn't even walk half of the zoo, it was boring, it was hard to walk such distances and look for animals in the shade, people who came there to eat were terribly shaken, although if you walk such distances, you can really get hungry.
In general, for now, the best park with animals remains for me-this is Taigan. There is no such variety of animals, cleanliness in the aviaries and the opportunity to feed everyone you like anywhere (where I have been).
Don't waste your time and money on this place!
The children will get tired, and the adults too!
I forgot about the plus:
This is a behemoth that can be seen very close (perhaps that's all)!

It is better to take tickets in advance, on the official website of the safari park. Please note that the territory of the park is large, and it is divided into several separate parts: African village, Explorer village, Asian village.
Expect to spend at least the whole day watching the maximum, but not everything.
There is a separate entrance to the African village, where you can watch the animals walking from one enclosure to another. The same situation is in a separate area in the Asian village.
It is not so easy to get to the Explorer village, you will have to stand in a long queue for 30-40 minutes, at best, under the open sun. Since you can see the animals on the territory of the Explorer village only from the car, and only through the window, respectively. And this queue is just the same to get into the minibus))
Of course, you understand that safari through the windows of the minibus is a pure bummer - 100% and it does not meet expectations, sad…
Animals from the minibus are poorly visible, because of the heads of the neighbors sitting around, of course you have to turn your head and rise from your seat, respectively blocking the visibility of other people sitting ((Now imagine how uncomfortable it will be for children in such conditions. But still, it was difficult, but it was possible to see the animals represented there.
In fact, not everyone has the patience and strength to carefully walk around all three zones of the safari park.
There are cafes, catering outlets where you can take a break. There are also electric scooters available for rent.
Overall not bad, but tedious.

To anyone who wants to see a million animals for a little money, pass by! Admission is expensive and this price includes only a small part of the locations with animals. The main one is a safari by bus - only for some considerable money. But I liked it anyway, everything was done very beautifully and civilly, there is no feeling that the animals are locked in cages, rather, they live for their own pleasure, and you look at it through the windows. There are free shows, I especially liked feeding giraffes, where everyone can come up with food. There is also a children's farm, which the children, of course, are delighted with, since everyone can be touched and fed. I didn't have time to see all the animals during the day, as the zoo closes at 5 p.m., so I think there are enough animals. But when compared with many large zoos, there are very few animals. There are cafes and toilets in each location and a beautiful park in between. So if your goal is to have a good time without running around kilometers of cages, and do not mind the money, you are here, you and your children will like it)

Dubai is always beautiful, and warmth does not matter where you go! Safari Park is very interesting, but we did not go by bus to wild animals, we saw them through the glass, because during bus stops there is no certainty that a cheetah will approach you, etc. and you will see it up close.

I really liked the park, but it's not very convenient to drag around in the heat. For 90 dirhams, you can buy a ticket for the Ministry of Transport with a ticket that travels throughout the territory. The park hosts shows in English for children with the participation of animals. The territory is divided into 4 zones, well-groomed, but very hot. There are also safari tickets when the bus stops at the territory of the animal. In the poultry house, birds move freely around the territory on the ground, which is a delight for both children and adults. There are vending machines where you can buy water for 2 dirh.

A memorable place for a long time. If you want to look at the animals yourself, the locations are very clearly visible on the information stands. If you want, buy a ticket for a bus tour and you will be taken in a covered bus to all the aviaries, and they will also tell you about each type of animal presented. In the evening we reached the contact zoo, the happiness of three adults was unlimited when they fed the goats and stroked the cow.

Be sure to visit the Grand Aviary in African Village - an unforgettable dive)
In Kid's Farm in Aviary, parrots can be fed with seeds, they sit on their hands - great photos come out.
And it is advisable to take a ticket with the "Safari Journey (35 minutes’ guided bus tour)" - without this safari, the impression will not be so complete.
