Local customs & good to know

• Respect Animal Welfare Protocols — Do not flash photography or make loud noises as Night Safari uses carefully controlled lighting to minimize stress on nocturnal animals; visitors must follow all ranger instructions.
• Arrive Early and Dress Appropriately — The park is open only at night; arrive before sunset, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring a light jacket as the evening can be cooler despite Singapore's tropical climate.
• Follow Tram and Trail Safety Guidelines — Stay seated during tram rides and remain on designated walking trails; do not attempt to touch animals or lean over barriers, as this is both dangerous and disruptive to wildlife.
• Learn About Conservation Efforts — Night Safari is part of the Wildlife Reserves Singapore family; take time to read interpretive signs and engage with staff about habitat preservation and species protection programs.
