- Al khattab M1 contributionNice zoo but the worst In waiting for the internal busses and safary.It is really the worst safeti in term of wasted time to go and see the animals. 35 minutes to get the first bus and more than 50 minutes to get in the safary bus . It a waste of time and exposed to sun and standing. I don’t recommend it as it not The animals in the safary was nice and interesting to pass next to the animalsDear Al khattab M, Warm greetings and many thanks for this review, your feedback at this portal is very much appreciated and we hope to see you again for much rewarding experience.

- Olympia SonitisStockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom5 contributionsAwfulAbsolutely terrible treatment by the staff when going into n the safari ride. They forced me to move seat away from the bus window for absolutely no reason as there were more than enough seats to accommodate everyone. Completely ruined and soured my experience of the tide and the whole park. Do not go there if you want to be treated with respect.Dear Sonitiso, Warm greetings to you from Dubai Safari Park and thank you for taking the time to post this review. Apologies for the inconveniences caused during your visit and appreciate your time for giving us feedback on overall experience. We hope that this incident will in no way influence negatively your future decisions to visit us again for a better and much more rewarding experience at our premises. We will be looking forward to that.

- Saji A7 contributionsWaste of timeIt was a total disappointment as the video we saw in Instagram was so amusing however when we went there it wasn't as we expected. So many ques to wait for till the train comes to pick you and a limited number of animals to see. Overall we didn't enjoy much and so we felt like it was a waste of time.Dear Guest, Sorry the hear your experience, however we operated only private tours during Summer in a closed vehicle for individual groups. We will start the train when we open gate for the new season on 5th Oct 2023, Dubai Safari Park is home to 3000+ animals, please do visit us to again for a better experience and explore all of our villages.

- Travelling_Tink1Dubai, United Arab Emirates34 contributionsNot good enough on all frontsAs with many things over here, it was more the running of the park that was disappointing rather than the content. The donkeys were tied to a fence and could barely move. They had no visible water in extreme heat, I don’t like this at all. Coming from a country with high animal welfare standards this didn’t sit well with me. I felt like this with many of the animal enclosures - the facilities/ food/ water were not good enough. The ponies looks absolutely miserable in the heat - poor souls. The cafe in the central building does not have high chairs, NO HIGH CHAIRS !! In a family safari park! What??! The also didn’t have napkins and when I asked they just thrusted a box of shop bought tissues at me. Not good enough. Not organized enough. Not for the visitors and especially not for the animals.Dear Valued Guest, We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent park visit and sincerely regret any disappointment that you may have experienced. Dubai Safari Park is an accredited member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria, and we strictly follow its high standards for animal care and welfare. We assure you that all of our animals always have adequate water and food available to them. We will, of course, continue to keep an eye on this area moving forward. Regarding your experience with one of our cafés during your visit, we have spoken to the owners of this outlet and passed on all of your concerns. We have insisted that they now provide High Chair options for their guests, despite being more of a ‘Grab and Go’ kiosk rather than seated café. It is important to us that all of our 3rd party partners are upholding our quality standards and positively impacting the overall guest experience. We hope you and your family enjoyed the other areas of Dubai Safari Park despite these specific incidents, and again we regret the disappointment you experienced on this occasion Best Regards, Dubai Safari ParkWritten November 13, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten November 5, 2023

My recent visit to Dubai Safari Park was an excellent outing with kids👌🏻. The guided bus tours make exploration easy & added an informative touch.👍🏻
One standout feature is the park’s commitment to maintaining the health of the animals. The well-designed habitats reflect a genuine concern for the animals’ well-being, creating an environment that closely mimics their natural settings🫶🏻.

The park was well organised and maintained. All park staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. All animals appeared to be in good condition and we were able to see almost everything. The park has a maximum capacity for guests and as a result it never felt overcrowded and no long queues. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I was encouraged by the conservation message that all staff made a point of highlighting through the presentations and tours.
I would certainly recommend this visit to anyone wanting to enjoy a day out with some animals 😁

A must-visit for everyone, especially families with kids. The staff is exceptionally helpful, and our safari guide Mr. AMIN was exceptional. His detailed explanations and simple responses to all questions made the experience truly enjoyable. Overall, a great outing. 👍
Plan for at least 5-6 hours to thoroughly explore and appreciate everything.

The Dubai Jungle Safari is really beautiful, it's a one day trip for the people who wants to visit and comeback, it's almost 40 to 50 min drive from central dubai.
The best thing in this trip was the Jungle Safari and it was fun as we had a tour guide, Agatha Odembo with us she sang and gave full information about the animals and their specie must go place with your kids and family it's a lot to walk inside so be prepared and stuff your bags with snacks and water as it's very expensive inside the Dubai safari park.
We enjoyed and hope you guys too.

Some pictures on trip advisor show jeeps / camel rides and feeding giraffes- is EVERYTHING included with this ticket (apart from food &drink ) ? Or are there additional cost ?

Hi Kyle, what's the difference between combo ticket and normal one? The website isn't mentioning anything and it's fully booked for a few weeks ahead. Is it worth the wait for 3 weeks?

If you buy a combo ticket you can get on of the busses which will drive you around an open plane area where you can then see some animals without fence.
