• Singapore is quite hot and while waiting in line you will feel hotter, so cool clothes and cold drinks (if you don’t want to spend a lot of money to buy things right at Night Safari) are necessary. If possible, prepare some paper fans or handheld mini-electric fans. When you get in the car and move through the forests at night, it is quite cold, so prepare a warm coat or scarf.
• Queuing time can be long, so if you come with children, think of some entertainment for them while waiting.
• From September to December next year is the rainy season in Singapore, even though it rains, the trams still run. Therefore, you should prepare extra items to cover the rain, like an umbrella, for example, if you visit Night Safari in this time.
• Bring Insect Repellent: Being a rainforest environment, it’s advisable to use insect repellent to enhance comfort.
• Use of Flash Photography: Flash photography is prohibited as it can disturb the animals. Visitors are encouraged to adjust their camera settings accordingly.
• Stay Quiet: Keeping noise levels low enhances the chances of seeing more animals and maintains a peaceful environment for both animals and visitors.
