  2. Wild Africa • Fashioned after the grassy plains in Africa, this south-eastern flank of the Zoo has grass-grazing mammals living alongside their deadly predators. • There’s nothing like the thrill of traversing through Wild Africa on a safari tour especially when hooves, horns and claws aren’t all you can expect to see. For instance, there’s a little colony of animals you might want to check out. Meet our East African’s underground darlings who feel no pain.

  3. Australian Outback • Be transported to the vast and arid bushlands of Down Under the moment you pass the rustic entrance into the Australian Outback zone. Here, grey kangaroos and agile wallabies hop about freely as you enter the walk-through area. They are joined by the emu and vibrant cassowary preening themselves amongst the bushes. • Also flanking the walk-through area are two rugged sheds which showcase a collection of interesting reptiles such as the bearded dragon and the frill-necked lizard. Marvel at the intricate patterns of the carpet python and catch a glimpse of the shy sugar gliders as they huddle up in a group, happy for a snooze. • The Australian Outback was designed and conceptualised in collaboration with Australia’s own wildlife icon, the late Steve Irwin. This interpretation of Australia’s golden wilderness is home to a range of diverse and unique wildlife, many of which, in the wild, can only be found in Australia.

  4. Frozen Tundra • Chill out at the Frozen Tundra, the newest exhibit in Singapore Zoo that is the size of 2.5 basketball court put together. • Built to resemble the arctic habitat, the Frozen Tundra has a cool temperature, an ice cave with a waterfall, and a large pool filled with giant ice blocks. • Inuka, our locally-born polar bear, is the star of the Frozen Tundra. From the viewing gallery in the frozen tunnel, check out how our playful Inuka swim in the cool pool, or even chill in the ice-cold cave! • While you’re here at the Frozen Tundra, remember to say “hi!” to Inuka’s new neighbours! • Watch out for Boris and Ivana, our fearless wolverines that are slightly different from your Marvel superhero character. And don’t miss Pom and Poko, our raccoon dogs from Japan.

  5. Primate Kingdom • Singapore Zoo has a total of 39 species of primates, of which a large number of them call the Primate Kingdom home. Wonder why it’s called Primate Kingdom? Because each primate species has its own island, with a landscaping of trees that might as well be castles from where these tree-dwellers rule. Who said you needed to be the king of the jungle to have your own kingdom? • Tall trees, long wild grasses, gingers, palms and bamboo are used to recreate the lush rainforest of their natural habitat. The Zoo’s famous ‘open’ concept flows through this zone as only moats are used to separate the primates from visitors. These moats are filled with various species of fish, the most impressive being the fearsome South American arapaima! • Get down to monkey business as you trek through this zone. These frisky primates will leave you amazed by their intelligence and have you in stitches with their amusing antics. Watch out for the free-ranging Javanlangurs too who reside amongst the treetops here. You might just spot some delicate brown faces peeking at you from the treetops above.

  6. Treetops Trail • Being the first immersive experience that welcomes every visitor at Singapore Zoo, this zone begins at the Rainforest Courtyard right at the entrance of the park leading on to an elevated platform through the forest canopy, a pathway that brings visitors closer to nature and its wildlife. • The sun-drenched recreation of a clearing in the depths of a rainforest, the lush plantings of trees, a cascading waterfall as well as a jungle pond are home to a group of rainforest animals. You may not spot them right away, so take your time as you make your way to the Treetops Trail ahead. • Do also keep your eyes peeled for the free-ranging brown lemurs and the white faced saki monkeys who may surprise you by swinging by to join in the fun. Just a note of caution though, the elusive false gavial may be lurking beneath the boardwalks, so beware!
