Rainforest Wild Asia: What to expect

The Mandai Wildlife Group created this concept, the genius behind Singapore’s other wildlife tourist attractions like the Night Safari and Singapore Zoo. The upcoming park will be spread across 13 hectares, with plenty of space to host 29 species, including Malayan tigers, langurs, sun bears, red dholes, babirusas, the rare François’ langur, and the Philippine spotted deer.

Rainforest Wild Asia stands out among zoos and wildlife parks for its unique blend of animals, nature, and adventure. It will feature 10 zones designed to create a joyful experience for visitors of all ages. Curated forest trails dotted with logs and boulders and thrilling attractions like freefall jumps will add excitement to the journey. Additionally, the park will include rest stops and accessible walkways for wheelchair users and families with strollers, ensuring ease of movement.

Key features: 

• The Cavern is inspired by the UNESCO-enlisted Mulu caves in Malaysia’s Sarawak, created in collaboration with the Sarawak Forestry Department, which scanned the rocks of Mulu caves to recreate these ancient formations.
• The Karsts are limestone formations where people can find monkeys swinging around.
• The Canopy takes you high to treetops, allowing you to see Javan langur and red-shanked douc langur in their natural habitat. This zone will feature the Canopy Jump, allowing visitors to leap from the park’s highest point at 20 meters
• The largest zone of the water park, the Watering Hole will be a flexible habitat featuring Malayan sun bears and tapirs.
• The Rock Cascade will be the ideal place to view the Malayan tiger.
