Additionally, branded safari buses will travel to popular city landmarks like Dubai Frame, Quranic Park, Kite Beach and Mirdif Uptown Park, among others, beginning October 10. Visitors who photograph the buses and tag the park on social media will have a chance to win free tickets.

This season introduces expanded services, including:

• Fast Track Access for quicker entry to popular attractions such as the Explorer Safari Tour.

• Private Tour Guide Packages for small groups seeking customised wildlife experiences.

Educational programming will centre on the theme ‘Guardians of the Wild’ with live wildlife talks, interactive activities, and an enhanced live birds presentation. Conservation efforts, including breeding programmes and animal care, will continue, supported in part by revenue from ticket sales.

Muna Alhajeri, Director of Dubai Safari Park, said the upcoming season will focus on conservation education while offering diverse, family-friendly experiences.
