Dubai’s most beloved wildlife destination, Dubai Safari Park, is set to reopen its gates on October 14 for its seventh season, inviting visitors to experience a brand-new theme, “Wild Rules.” The upcoming season promises to transform the park into a living classroom where families can reconnect with nature through adventure, learning, and conservation.
Ahead of its grand reopening, the city’s skyline was illuminated by a stunning flying LED display teasing the comeback of Dubai Safari Park — a fitting preview of the vibrant energy and surprises awaiting guests this year.
The “Wild Rules” theme aims to inspire young visitors to embrace curiosity and discovery through the wonders of the natural world. The park highlights the value of outdoor learning, with studies showing that time spent in nature boosts children’s creativity, focus, and problem-solving skills. Through this approach, Dubai Safari Park continues its mission to blend education with excitement, making every visit both enriching and unforgettable.
As part of the reopening celebration, the park is bringing its wild spirit beyond its gates. From October 10, specially branded safari buses will roam across Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, including Dubai Frame, Kite Beach, Quranic Park, and Mirdif Uptown Park. Residents who spot one of these mobile safari buses can snap a photo and tag @DubaiSafariPark on social media for a chance to win free tickets to the park.
This season also introduces several new and upgraded experiences designed to make each visit smoother and more memorable. Visitors can now enjoy fast-track entry to popular zones such as the Explorer Safari Tour, as well as private tour packages for small groups seeking a closer connection with the animals.
A highlight of the new season is the “Guardians of the Wild” educational programme, which focuses on inspiring families and children to play an active role in protecting biodiversity. Interactive workshops, wildlife talks, and hands-on activities will bring conservation stories to life, helping visitors understand the importance of preserving nature for future generations.
Guests can once again look forward to up-close encounters with lemurs, rhinos, exotic birds, and other fascinating species. The park’s much-loved Birds Kingdom Live Presentation also returns with an even more immersive and entertaining show, offering a blend of education and wonder for audiences of all ages.
Beyond entertainment, conservation remains the heart of Dubai Safari Park’s mission. The park continues to invest in wildlife breeding programmes, animal care, and global conservation partnerships. Each ticket purchased directly supports these initiatives, allowing every visitor to contribute to the preservation of endangered species.
