River Safari

River Safari, the newest attraction along a narrow inlet of the Upper Seletar Reservoir near Mandai, is Asia’s first and only river-themed wildlife park.Lined up between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari, the 12 hectare River Safari showcases marine life from eight iconic river habitats around the world.

Roughly organised in the shape of a “V”, the entrance of River Safari is at the pointed end. Visitors can make their way down the left side of the “V” where seven river zones are located. The Giant Pandas can be found at the end of this first leg. Visitors then cross a bridge to the right bank, which is dedicated to the Amazon River, before heading back to along the right side of the “V”,  back to where they started from.

The River is Calling

Taking a left from the main entrance of River Safari, the river journey begins through a darkened air-conditioned room with multimedia presentations that introduce the Park.

The young ones will be anxious to get past the video slideshows to view the real animals just around the corner. To do so, simply follow the fish prints on the floor and step back into the sunlight.

Mississippi River

The first river system that visitors encounter hails from the United States – the Mississippi River. Here, you can see the American beaver, which shares its habitat with some content-looking ducks, the snapping turtle, the alligator gar (a type of fish) and the endangered paddlefish.

Gift Shop

A gift shop and an eatery, Mama Panda Kitchen, can be found at the end of the Giant Panda Forest, helping to round off any pandas-tic encounter with these black-and-white giants.
