With only eleven days to go, the countdown to Dubai Safari Park’s Season 8 has commenced. Welcoming visitors from 12 October 2026, the park offers a diverse range of fan-favourite experiences that bring to life its three pillars of conservation, education and entertainment, helping guests forge a deeper connection with wildlife and nature.

For the first time, and coinciding with the schools’ mid-term break, Dubai Safari Park will host the “Wildest Opening Week” from 12 to 18 October. The week-long celebration is packed with surprises designed to engage all the senses, from personalised keepsakes to photography and art, for kids and adults alike. At the heart of the celebrations is the “Little Explorers’ Base Camp”, a dedicated adventure zone created especially for younger visitors. Here, little explorers can play, create and discover through a wide range of activities, including safari face painting, a temporary tattoo station, clay model making, arts and crafts, lawn games, safari-themed inflatables and much more. With Season 8 themed around Live More Wild Life, the celebration inspires guests to connect with wildlife and embrace their inner wild side. Offering unique experiences that entertain and educate, the Wildest Opening Week is the perfect family outing and a chance to make wonderful memories together.

Beyond Wildest Opening Week, there’s something for everyone throughout the season. Visitors can explore the park’s six themed zones and choose from a range of experiences, including:

• Safari adventures: The Arabian Desert Safari, which comes with all park tickets, or the Safari Bundle upgrade with the Explorer Safari Tour to see lions, giraffes and rhinos in open-range habitats, including everyone’s favourites, Salam the baby white rhino, Dalia the giraffe and more.
  • Premium experiences:Such as King of Safari, Behind the Scenes, Dine in the Wild and Jungle Capture, offering private tours, exclusive access and dining near the animals.
