Africa is known to be a vibrant place that offers great safaris and the chance to see various wildlife. You can now experience Africa without going there. Instead of paying for a ticket to one of the amazing African cities, head to Sharjah Safari Park! This park has attractions representing areas in Africa with their distinct nature, creatures, and landscape.
Over 1,000 animals and birds from 120 different species, including lions, gazelles, elephants, crocodiles, and several rare African animals, may be seen at Sharjah Safari. The highly uncommon black rhino and Wuhaida, a female southern white rhino born at the park, are two main highlights.
Also, over 1,000 native and African trees are planted on the property, including lovely Samar trees and the distinctive Acacia tortilis, which is known for its remarkable umbrella-like appearance, in addition to the genuinely wonderful variety of fauna. The park’s magnificent environment, which spans an astounding eight square kilometres, is truly breathtaking. Let us take you on a trip there with our words and encourage you to go there in person and tell us about your experience.
