Unlike traditional zoos that reverse the day-night cycle for animals in nocturnal houses, the Night Safari is an entire open-air zoo designed to be explored at night. This allows you to observe nocturnal and crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) animals in environments that closely mimic their natural habitats. Animals are separated from visitors and from each other using natural barriers like moats (designed to look like streams), cattle grids (grille-like metal sheets with wide gaps), and hot wires camouflaged as twigs, rather than conventional cages. This open-concept design enhances the feeling of being in a wild environment. Dining: There are several restaurants and cafes at the Night Safari, where visitors can enjoy a meal or snack.
