River Safari is Asia’s first and only river-themed wildlife park, and is the latest addition to Wildlife Reserves Singapore’s portfolio of award winning parks.

It is designed to profile freshwater habitats from iconic rivers of the world such as the Amazon River, Mekong River and River Nile.

The idea of the Amazon flooded Forest was developed to give the visitors a breathtaking view of the underwater forest and its wildlife inhabitants.

River Safari is also home to a pair of giant pandas that resides in a climate-controlled exhibit along the Yangtze River zone.

The park is designed to recreate the sights and sounds of each river zone from exhibit design to the represented animal collection to help visitors learn about the cultures and wildlife, and to inspire them to contribute to conservation efforts.

This river-themed wildlife park can be explored on foot by  walking alongside freshwater aquariums, luscious walk-through exhibits and on board boat rides. 85% of the park’s animal collection can be viewed on foot while the rest is seen on boat rides.
