Singapore, the famous island, city and state in peninsular Malaysia is the smallest country in Asia. But all that is small, it makes up its grandiose proposals to surprise everyone. One of them is the night safari that can be made at the zoo in tropical jungle of the city, a proposal where we can observe the animals under a light so dim that resembles the moonlight.

The night safari can be done each day between 7 pm and 12 midnight input paying $ 22 for adults and $ 11 for children, plus a transportation fee for the course. The tour includes a walk through a tropical forest area where 1,200 animals are separated by natural barriers, a form of “open zoo” where animals are kept in environments that mimic their natural habitat, no cages oppressive.

The night safari is done in an area adjacent to the Singapore Zoo, which by its nature, is one of the most innovative and famous in the world. The night safari tour, held on a bus adapted for tourists, including a welcome by tribal dances native to the jungles of Borneo, a visit to a path through a botanical garden, entertainment and main course, a tour on the night tram, lasting about 45 minutes between the landscapes recreated in the zoo and animals at different routes.

The forecast for each detail in Singapore is so exhaustive that it is curious to find in the zoo’s official website, a section that reports the new H1N1, and the risks of an outbreak in relation to the number of pigs at the Zoo, and security measures taken. There are other sections for bird flu and another for dengue. I imagine that with so much foresight; will be referred to the needed break for many animals.

The zoo landscape refers to a rustic ambience thanks to the rocks and vegetation simulating many caves. Over the years, gained a higher profile conservationist and scientific-oriented education for the preservation of nature. Taronga has ponds for waterfowl, rides and attractions including a cable car with magnificent views of Sydney Harbor.
