Zoo, Night Safari or both?
They're different trips: the zoo is a daytime rainforest walk with famously invisible barriers; the Night Safari is theatre — a tram gliding past leopards and hog deer in convincing darkness. With one evening free, the Night Safari is the more distinctive of the two; book its timed entry ahead in holidays.
Good to know
- Combine with Mandai's Bird Paradise if wildlife is your theme.
- Bring repellent — it is genuinely jungle.
