Singapore embarks on River Safari

Thursday, 27 Mar, 2013 0

The latest Singapore attraction – the River Safari – will open on April 3.

The 12-ha River Safari will showcase animals from freshwater habitats inspired by eight of the world’s greatest rivers including the Mississippi, Nile, Mekong, Yangtze and Amazon rivers.

During the soft opening phase, visitors will be able to walk through River Safari’s freshwater galleries and immersive exhibits, including one of the world’s largest freshwater aquariums at the Amazon Flooded Forest and the Giant Panda Forest.

The park’s boat rides will not be available until later this year.

From April 3, visitors planning to see the giant pandas can do so only via River Safari.

The current giant panda preview, where visitors pay a top-up fee in addition to Singapore Zoo admission ticket, will end on March 31.

Both pandas are housed at the Yangtze River zone that features the Yangtze alligator and the world’s largest amphibian – the Chinese giant salamander.
