Dubai Safari Park will welcome visitors back for its eighth season from October 12, with a lineup of educational and entertainment experiences built around wildlife and conservation.
Coinciding with the school mid-term break, the park will host its first "Wildest Opening Week" from October 12 to 18. The seven-day celebration includes creative, artistic and photography activities for children and adults, along with personalised keepsakes.
At the centre of the week is the Little Explorers' Base Camp, a dedicated space where children can learn and play. Activities include safari-themed face painting, clay model making, arts and crafts, lawn games and safari-themed inflatables.
Season 8 launches under the theme "Live More Wild Life", which encourages guests to deepen their connection with nature and embrace a sense of adventure. The park's three core pillars of education, entertainment and animal welfare guide the programme.
Beyond opening week, visitors can explore six themed zones inspired by diverse natural habitats. The Arabian Desert Safari is included with all park tickets, while guests can upgrade to the Safari Bundle, which adds the Explorer Safari Tour and close views of lions, giraffes and rhinos.
Premium experiences include King of Safari, Behind the Scenes, Dine in the Wild and Jungle Capture, offering private tours, exclusive access to selected areas and dining near the animals. Live presentations such as Birds Kingdom, Echoes of the Wild and Birds of Prey highlight animal behaviour and the park's conservation message.
Spanning 119 hectares in the heart of Dubai, the park is home to more than 3,000 animals representing 300 species. It also supports international research and breeding programmes and animal rescue missions.
