The Singapore Zoo

My friends from overseas wanted to visit the Singapore Zoo. They asked if I wanted to go along. Well, my last visit to the Zoo was more than 30 years ago and I have been thinking that it is time for another visit. So, since, there is company, I said I would join them for a day out at the Singapore Zoo.

“The Singapore Zoo, formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens or Mandai Zoo. It is operated by the Mandai Wildlife Group, which also manages the neighbouring Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise as well as the forthcoming Rainforest Wild Park. All five parks make up the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, which consists of more than 15,000 animals from 1,000 species.

“Within the zoo, there are about 315 species of animals, of which some 16 percent are considered to be a threatened species.

“Singapore Zoo has always exhibited animals in naturalistic, 'open' exhibits with hidden barriers, moats, and glass between the animals and visitors. It houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world. The Singapore Zoo has been highly ranked by various international metrics.”

My friends and I had a great day out at the Singapore Zoo. It was good to visit again after so many years. Here are some photos from the visit.

A food court for those who need a bite and a drink after all the walking.

Trams - an option for those who find it too tiring to walk.

An Ethiopian grain hut.

We didn’t get to see many of them. I don’t blame them for not showing themselves. It was a rather hot day.

We arrived at the zoo at a good time. We managed to catch most of the shows and the feeding of the animals.

The Singapore zoo is definitely worth a visit. However, you should plan your visit so that you can catch the shows and the animal feeding times.
