A World-Class Safari Experience in the Heart of Sharjah
An absolutely outstanding experience at Sharjah Safari, and without doubt one of the finest wildlife attractions in the UAE. The park is beautifully designed, with vast landscapes, well-maintained habitats, and an impressive variety of wildlife. The aviaries, open safari areas, and themed zones are all thoughtfully planned, making the entire visit both enjoyable and educational. Seeing animals such as giraffes, rhinos, zebras, lions, elephants, and flamingos in such spacious surroundings made the experience feel truly special. What stood out most was how much care has gone into creating natural environments for the animals while giving visitors a chance to learn about wildlife and conservation. Every part of the safari felt immersive, and it is easy to see why Sharjah Safari has become one of the UAE’s top attractions. A special thank you to our guide, Ms. Salhah Al Mansoori. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for wildlife made a huge difference to our visit. She was friendly, engaging, and always happy to answer questions, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable and informative experience. I would also like to recognize Mr. Abdullah Atiq from the ticketing team and Mr. Hassan Elias, our buggy driver. Abdullah greeted us warmly and was extremely helpful from the moment we arrived. Hassan was equally friendly and accommodating throughout the tour, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made our visit even more memorable. Sharjah Safari is a fantastic destination for families, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique day out. We left with wonderful memories and a greater appreciation for wildlife conservation. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such an outstanding experience at Sharjah Safari. It's great to know that you enjoyed the beautifully designed landscapes, wildlife habitats, and diverse animal collection. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Very large safari. Great for the animals and nice to see. Very hospitable.
Great experience, huge parking, highly recommend the gold tour to have a more personalised experience. Couldn't book with the safari directly online from the UK so booked via TripAdvisor thanks to Yalla Dubai Tour. The communication with Yalla Dubai was very good and they ensured everything was sorted in time. Very helpful and highly recommended. We went during off season which was very hot so would recommend going in cooler weather but it was still manageable in the AC vehicle. The hospitality at the park was great. They offer comfortable seating, tea and water offered and the facilities were all very clean and extremely professional and hospitable. I would recommend both Yalla Dubai Tour and the sharjah safari park. Thanks Yalla Dubai.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Althaf, for your kind words and detailed feedback! We're happy you enjoyed the Sharjah Safari experience and that our team at Yalla Dubai Tour made the process smooth and memorable. We look forward to planning more adventures for you in the future! 🌿🦒

Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other?
+
Included: Admission to "Into Africa" and Zanzibar Village; Access to the amphitheater bird show; Walking safari experience; and Private transfer available if selected, but does not include entry tickets. Not included: Food and drinks (available for purchase in Zanzibar Village); Transportation within the safari (available with Silver and Gold packages); Guided tours (available with Gold and private packages); and Souvenirs and personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Sharjah Safari: A Wildlife Adventure Like No Other if the weather is bad?
+
