The Night Safari in Singapore is the first nocturnal zoo in the world and is very popular among the tourists around the world. It was opened on the 26th of May 1994 by Dr. Ong Swee Law who was the former Chairman of the zoo. It is indeed a lovely place to be with the numerous species we don’t get to see quite often. The area of the Night Safari is about 40 hectares and was built using a sum of money of S$63 Million. You would get to witness a number of threatened species which are bred in captivity which has 1040 animals in total of 120 species. 
Every year a number of 1.1 million travelers visit the zoo to have this wonderful experience with the wild ones. Night Safari is a fully opened nocturnal zoo with eight diverse geographical zones to suit the animals where one can travel via foot or by tram. The environment is so ordinary that you can observe the animals in their natural habitat and normal behavior. They live at such peace without being trapped in cages unlike other zoos. A wide array of animals like rhinoceros to tarsiers could be found walking lazily on bare lands. Asia’s first giant flying squirrel was spotted in this nocturnal zoo which brought Night Safari a great reputation. Cultural performances like fire eating displays, tribal dances and animal shows are frequent events held at the zoo. It is such an adventurous activity to get to the thick jungles at night and step on to the lives of wild creatures.
Visitors can refresh themselves from the small restaurants and drink at stalls that are put up at the premises. Even though the safety of the Night safari is very tight there were a few incidents where a tiger escaped from the zoo and a tourist was scratched by a cat during the night shows. Raffles Hotel Singapore is in the vicinity of Night Safari and you could visit this place whenever you want during your Singapore vacation. A Singapore Hotel which is located in the heart of the city would make your holiday interesting because it makes traveling around the country quite easy for the tourists. This hotel is also a renowned 5 Star hotel Singapore that you must try.
