Sharjah Safari opens: Ticket rates for walking tours, private guides announced
Here's what you can expect from the bronze, silver and gold packages
Citizens and residents can now embark on an African wildlife adventure at the newly-opened Sharjah Safari.
Sharjah Safari opened on Thursday, welcoming visitors to a wildlife sanctuary that is bigger than nearly 1,000 football pitches.
Amid its jungle of 100,000 African acacia trees, hills and ponds, more than 50,000 animals reside — from lions to elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, you name it.
In a span of five years, the world’s largest safari outside Africa was built in the oasis town of Al Dhaid.
The safari adventure — which may take two to six hours — starts with a unique walking experience to explore the wildlife endemic to the islands and archipelagos scattered along the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.
Depending on the tickets visitors hold, which can be gold, silver or bronze, they are ushered into a truck, a minivan or a four-wheeler to enter the camp.
Here’s a full list of the ticket rates and what you can expect from each.
