Sharjah Safari Gears Up for a Wildlife-Filled Season Starting September 21
As the UAE prepares for the arrival of cooler weather, Sharjah Safari has officially announced its reopening for the new season on September 21, 2026. Located within the Al Bardi Reserve in Al Dhaid, this expansive 8-square-kilometer attraction operated by the EPAA offers daily access from 8:30 am to 6 pm, with a variety of gold, silver, and bronze ticket options. This year, the park aims to move beyond simple observation by offering visitors a deeper look into the intricate conservation efforts and professional care required to maintain such a diverse wildlife sanctuary.
The upcoming season promises to be particularly special due to a recent surge in the park’s breeding success, which saw 186 new births between April and June alone. Visitors can look forward to seeing a new generation of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and even six rare Radiated Tortoise hatchlings. To enhance the experience, the park is introducing exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, allowing guests to witness the daily care routines of the animals firsthand. Combined with the park’s ongoing commitment to educational programming, these additions ensure that every guest leaves with a better understanding of the global responsibility to protect our natural world.
