Dubai Safari Park is providing a special five-day event called Lights of the Wild. The festival runs from October 18 to 22 and nicely coincides with the celebrated festival of Diwali. This is the park’s first time to have live music and unique dance performances. This is a family-friendly celebration. This park still focuses on its popular edutainment to amaze its visitors.
Did you know? Diwali is known as the “Festival of Lights.” It signifies the triumph of light over darkness. This occasion brings that beautiful light to the middle of the Safari Park.
The visitors will have the opportunity to experience outstanding cultural shows. There will be classical dances like Bharatanatyam and Kathak, and also a magnificent Bollywood dance company. All the performances will convey emotion through dance and movement that are enriched with the mythology of India. This is a true representation of India’s rich and diverse artistic heritage. The park will also have an exciting and high-energy feel, and a musical troupe will be performing live traditional music that will include instruments like the tabla.
One of the highlights of the festive experience is authentic Indian food. You can taste food from all regions and various kinds of street food. There will also be traditional Indian sweets to try. It will be a fun culinary experience for everyone visiting the park. The park will also offer some fun, hands-on workshops. Children will love the eco-themed board game. They can fold symbolic animals from Indian culture in the origami zone. Crafting beautiful flower tiaras will be another option. These activities will offer visitors an opportunity to connect with nature.
The theme for this year is Wild Rules, which embodies a fresh, family-friendly approach to the park and is based on learning about biodiversity. The park boasts six amazing immersive zones, including the African Village and Asian Village, along with highlights such as Explorer Village and the Kids Farm. New enhancements improve the overall visitor experience. Visitors will now be able to buy fast-tracking of their experience and bypass waiting in lines for the popular Explorer Safari Tour.
Education is at the forefront this season, and the new program titled “Guardians of the Wild” is launching this year. This will all include workshops and entertaining talks about animals, with a focus on taking steps to preserve wildlife and nature. Expanding from its popularity last season is the Birds Kingdom Live Presentation, which will feature additional bird species and expanded performances with immersiveness in mind.
