Dubai Safari Park animals

Dubai Safari Park Tickets

The UAE's largest wildlife park — lions, giraffes, elephants, and an open safari bus experience on 119 hectares.

Dubai Safari Park

Dubai Safari Park is a world-class wildlife experience on a scale that surprises even seasoned travellers. Covering 119 hectares — roughly 50 times the size of a city block — it brings together over 2,500 animals from 250+ species across four immersive themed villages, each recreating the habitat and feel of a different global ecosystem.

The centrepiece is the open safari bus tour through the African and Asian zones, where your guide navigates through enclosures where lions, giraffes, and white rhinos roam at impressively close range. Unlike glass-cage zoos, much of Dubai Safari Park is designed around naturalistic open spaces where animals can exhibit real behaviours. It's as close to an authentic East African safari as you can experience in the Arabian Gulf.
