The eagerly awaited park, which claims to be the largest outside of Africa, is welcoming visitors for the first time.
The sprawling wildlife attraction covers an area of 8sq km and is located in Al Bridi Nature Reserve in the city of Al Dhaid, Sharjah. Home to more than 120 species including rare animals native to Africa such as the black rhinoceros, the Sharjah Safari will welcome visitors to explore 12 themes environments, each representing a region in Africa, and the life and terrain of the animals and birds that live in them.
A key highlight of the park is Wuhaida, the first female southern white rhino born in Sharjah Safari in August last year. The birth is the result of the safari’s breeding programme, supported by the UN, which focusses on African native species.
Visitors will also be able to meet Bridi, the first African female giraffe born in Sharjah Safari. According to her caretakers, Bridi has been able to rapidly adapt to her surroundings and is already getting along with the herd of giraffes at the safari.
