Dubai Safari Park will officially launch its eighth season on 12 October 2026, introducing a week-long celebration designed to coincide with the upcoming school mid-term break.
The 119-hectare wildlife sanctuary will start the season with the 'Wildest Opening Week' running from 12 to 18 October. The inaugural week features a 'Little Explorers' Base Camp' offering children hands-on outdoor activities, including safari-themed face painting, clay model making, arts and crafts workshops, and lawn games.
Under the overarching theme 'Live More Wild Life', the destination houses more than 3,000 animals across 300 species within six distinct ecological zones. Visitors can experience the Arabian Desert Safari, included with standard admission, or opt for private tours such as 'King of Safari' and 'Behind the Scenes'. Daily educational presentations, including 'Birds Kingdom' and 'Birds of Prey', highlight global wildlife conservation and breeding efforts.
For Dubai and UAE residents planning family outings during the autumn school break, tickets and experience packages are available via the official portal at Dubai Safari Park.
