Dubai Safari Park will reopen on October 12, 2026 for Season 8 with a private four-hour Royal Safari Experience.

Dubai Safari Park will reopen on October 12 for its eighth season, introducing a new brand platform and a private wildlife experience for groups seeking a more exclusive visit.

The park announced the reopening date and new offerings during Arabian Travel Market at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Season 8 will launch under the new platform “Live More Wild Life”, building on Dubai Safari Park’s conservation work following what it described as a successful seventh season.

One of the major additions will be the Royal Safari Experience, a private four-hour guided tour for groups of up to 10 people. The experience includes VIP treatment, reserved seating and private guided tours around the park, offering visitors a more personalised way to explore its wildlife.

Dubai Safari Park also reported strong growth from the travel trade during the previous season, with ticket sales rising to 16 percent. Season 7 also saw the arrival of new animals, including a Southern White Rhino classified as “Near Threatened”, along with 143 other newborn animals.

The park strengthened its international conservation credentials during the previous season by becoming an official member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria.

It is also expanding its international tourism reach, appointing Buzz Marketing as its official sales and marketing representative in India and Action Global as its representative in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States markets.

Muna Al Hajeri, Director of Dubai Safari Park, said the park would continue developing its international partnerships while expanding the experiences available to visitors.

“The strong growth we have seen from our travel trade partners this season gives us great confidence as we look ahead to Season eight,” she said. “We look forward to welcoming even more visitors from the UAE and around the world to experience the park in new ways.” ICA/Expat Media
