Dubai Safari Park’s next season is scheduled to begin on 12 October 2026, according to the operator. Plan a wildlife-focused day in Al Warqa 5, where six zones bring together African, Asian and Arabian habitats, a children’s farm and the waterside Al Wadi area. Check the park map before arriving and choose the safari journey that matches your ticket. The Arabian Desert Safari and Explorer Safari Tour have different inclusions; optional animal encounters also need their own availability check. Comfortable walking shoes and sun protection will help with the outdoor sections. Check the latest opening notice and ticket details before travelling.
