Sharjah Safari is reopening today with new animal encounters and tours

Sharjah Safari is back for a new season from today, September 21, bringing visitors the chance to get up close with wildlife from across the world. The new season comes with new animal encounters, behind-the-scenes tours and plenty of reasons to plan a visit. One of the many reasons to head down to the safari park in Sharjah is to say hello to the animal kingdom, and there are many new additions made to the Sharjah Safari’s family. According to Emirates News Agency, the park recorded 186 births through its breeding and animal care programmes during the second quarter of 2026. A post shared by Sharjah Safari (@shjsafari) Over the start of September, the safari has welcomed six radiated tortoise hatchlings – a species that has been classified as critically endangered. Their arrival is another step in Sharjah Safari’s ongoing efforts to protect endangered wildlife. You can visit these little ones in Spiny Forest. Over the summer, Sharjah Safari also welcomed other beautiful newborns to its park, including South African giraffes, elephants, lions, oryx, blue wildebeest, impala, nyala and zebra. * Here’s when these top outdoor attractions in Dubai are reopening * Aisha Rashid Deemas, Chairperson of the Environment and Protected Areas Authority in Sharjah (EPAA), said the fifth season represents another step in developing Sharjah Safari’s role in wildlife conservation while providing visitors with an educational and engaging experience.
