Entrance gate for the Night Safari in Singapore

Singapore has a large number of tourist attractions. It is a fairly small city (or city state to be accurate), but has tried to make itself as a very attractive tourist attraction. The city is very attractive for tourists, with the infrastructure geared for the same. There is excellent public transport, taxis are well regulated and not very expensive; there are tourist circuits geared for people who want to see multiple tourist attractions and so on. As a part of that, there is the need to prepare tourist attractions throughout the day; after all, you want people to also enjoy during the evening and night. So, for the night, you have some incredible laser shows in multiple parts of the city, you have the night life at Clarke Quay, and then you have the Night Safari.

The Night Safari is a superb experience. It is like watching a zoo in low light. The Night Safari is actually located pretty close to the Singapore Zoo; what happens is that there are animals in their habitats, disguised perfectly so that it seems that they are in the open although the dangerous ones are located behind different safety mechanism. The interesting part of the Night Safari is that there are battery operated long train kind of vehicles operating on the trails, which take you to see the different animals that are inside the Night Safari. In fact, some of the more safer animals actually come pretty close to the vehicle and can be watched from very close. And there are trails where one can actually walk through the Night Safari rather than taking the vehicle.
