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.
