Combo (Save 23%): Dubai Safari Park Explorer Safari + MOTIONGATE™ Dubai Tickets with Free Shuttle

Dubai safari park visit as a winter break gift for my 2 sons of 3 and 7. We researched for a day or two and decided to book it through headout as recommended by many instead of the official Dubai safari website. Not quite sure of other booking channels, however, headout happened to be more economical than the official Dubai Safari booking site as the entry fee listed on their app is all inclusive of VAT. We booked the ticket that includes the guided safari and that was the best experience ever. A hack... you get 10 % discount on your next booking in headout. Not sure if this applies to every booking or just us as we booked it through them for the first time. The park is huge.. so, plan well to spend the entire day or atleast 5 hours.. Our journey.. 1. We reached the park at 10 AM. Took the train to the African Village. Explored African village and then boarded the train to the Explorer village. 2. The guided Safari took off from the explorer village which is close to giraffe station or we can say they are one station/village. The experience may have been different if we had book the general admission ticket. Highly recommend to book the ticket that includes the guided safari. 3. After the guided safari, it was already 12:30 pm, we headed back to Africa village as we wanted to eat lunch at Oregano.. very basic pizza and pasta.. ok for quick lunch. Reached Oregano at 1:15 pm and done with lunch at 2 pm. Please take note of the time.. moving in between takes time as we have to wait for train, then walk, enter restaurant. Order, wait, eat, walk to the train pick up point for the next stop.. 4. After lunch, we headed to the Asian Village and enjoyed the 3 pm echoes of the wild presentation, which was amazing. Sadly we missed the Birds of prey presentation as the show started at 4 and the kids were exhausted. 5. We took the Arabian Dessert safari tour from Asian village of 15 mins to head back to the kids farm which is close to the exit. The safari was enjoyable. 6. We enjoyed feeding the bird at the kids farm and exited the park at around 4:30 pm. Overall, it was a good experience, if we have to visit again, I would do the following: 1. Head straight to African village 2. Enjoy the explorer village with guided safari( not included in general adminision). 3. Have lunch at the explorer village 4. Explore Asian village 5. Know the timing of all shows and don't miss them. 6. End the experience with the kids farm. Basically, out fo all the 6 villages , what's worth enjoying were the African Village, explorer guided safari, Asian Village, Arabian dessert safari and the bird feeding in kids farm. If planned well, the journey can be shortened, nonetheless expect to dedicate 3/4 hours to enjoy the whole experience. Lastly, but not the least, all staff we interacted were all kind and helpful. Thanks a lot.

We booked our tickets to Dubai Safari Park through Headout, and the entire process was smooth and hassle free. Dubai Safari Park is home to an incredible variety of animals, making it a fascinating experience for visitors of all ages. The Xplorer Safari is especially impressive, as it gives you the chance to see most of the animals up close in a well organized tour. The park is clean, informative, and well managed, which adds to the overall enjoyment. Highly recommended for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking for a memorable wildlife experience in Dubai.

My whole family had a great time at Dubai Safari Park yesterday, 04 January 2026. The highlight of the day was the Explorer Safari and Shuttle Train, which were very exciting—especially seeing famous, massive animals up close in real life. We learned a lot of new and interesting information about the behavior of each animal from the tour guide during the Explorer Safari ride. It was truly amazing to learn that Dubai Safari Park successfully welcomed the birth of a new rhino, supporting the conservation of this species, which is considered endangered.

Our experience at Motiongate was really great, we enjoyed it a lot. What impressed us the most was how well the different movies and studios were recreated; each area felt carefully designed, and true to the films they represent. Everything felt high quality, from the sets to the attractions, and you could genuinely feel the effort and attention to detail behind the park. Overall, it felt like a very polished and well-executed experience that we truly enjoyed.

The guidance and facilities food availability and cleanliness which Dubai never make us unhappy about cleanliness. So many zoo we visits but certain animal smells will keep going around you, and here in Dubai Safari very large area even though the animals looking shiny and clean and no smell, it was awesome time we spend with our kid.
