Dubai Safari Park Villages | Explore Animals in Their Own Habitat

• Asian Village
• African Village 
• Explorer Village
• Arabian Desert Safari

On these guided safari tours, be transported to oriental forests of Asia, parched plains of Africa, and mystic Arabian deserts. Witness mammals in their natural habitats, observe magnificent leaps of a Mountain Gazelle, and if you’re lucky enough - catch a White Lion’s thunderous roar!    

The Arabian Desert Safari, with its nomadic influences, encompasses the essence of the entire Arabian Peninsula. This drive-through safari will bring you close to the local residents of the Sahara Desert. 

Keep an eye out for the Arabian Wolf (the hero attraction of this exhibit). Spot the long-legged Arabian Oryx grazing aimlessly and behold a grueling horn-lock fight between feisty Arabian Gazelles. Learn about typical animal practices, habits, and character traits from guides who will tag along through your Arabian exploration. 

Timings: 9 AM to 5 PM (10 AM to 6 PM during Ramadan)

Tour Duration: 10-15 minutes

The Asian Village is a tropical rainforest safari. Featuring Asian elements like Chinese architectural cues and dragon-like designs at the shops and kiosks, the Asian Village is home to the Moon Bear (the hero animal of this exhibit), animated gibbons, and breathtaking Mandarin Ducks. 

You can also learn more about the Southern Cassowary, a large flightless black bird regarded as a ‘keystone species’, mostly because of how they eat more than 240 types of fruits and drop the seeds across large distances, playing the role of a magnificent rainforest gardener.

Do spot the white-handed Gibbon present from this season!

Tour Duration: 20-45 minutes

The safari drive-through of the Explorer Village is the most sought-after attraction at the Dubai Safari Park. While being safe in comfortable buses, you can experience pristine African wildlife and conclude your discovery in the Asian exhibit. Hippos, giraffes, zebras, and cheetahs are some of the magnificent animals you get to see in this 35-40 minute journey.

Guests with Safari Journey tickets can access all the villages of the park including the safari at Explorer Village. However, guests with just entry tickets will have to upgrade to the Safari Journey tickets if they want to experience the Explorer Village. We suggest that you book the Safari Journey ticket for a full experience.

Tour Duration: 60-90 minutes

The Dubai Safari Park is a wholesome trip for the entire family. Bring your little ones to the Kids Farm for a delightful interaction with friendly farmyard animals. A unique blend between a farm and a petting zoo; kids can connect and interact with amiable sheep, donkeys, ponies, and ducks. 

Youngsters can also join one of the bird feeding sessions at the Kids Farm Aviary and frolic around the pygmy goats at the Goat Barn. Include your kids in the educational tours to learn all about the farm’s animals and birds and how they contribute to a real farm.

Tour Duration: 30 minutes

The Al Wadi (the valley) farm is a sprawling rest area designed to give you a break from your adventures. Sit, relax, and dine in one of the restaurants. Head over to one of the street-food kiosks for a quick bite. Gaze at the lazy ducks and swans in the river as you unwind on the grass. Catch a glimpse of some serene peacocks as well!
