10 days to get up close with exotic animals at Dubai Safari

Dubai - The 10-day Spring Camp programme is open to children aged eight to 13.

Children in the UAE will now be able to get up close and personal with some of the world's most exotic animals thanks to a new Spring Camp at Dubai Safari.
The 10-day Spring Camp programme is open to children aged eight to 13 and will take place in two batches, from March 25 to 29 and from April 1 to 5. The exciting package will offer a fun and educational learning experience, together with the opportunity for children to enjoy close encounters with an assortment of exotic creatures.
The week begins at the Safari Village, where the group will be introduced to the park's safety guidelines and learn how to pitch a tent, followed by a tour of the park. Throughout the week, kids will enjoy arts and crafts sessions, wildlife documentary screenings and informative presentations, including a visit from a professional veterinarian.
In addition, there will be a day dedicated to celebrating the Year of Zayed, featuring a talk on Sheikh Zayed's important role in UAE heritage and a tour of the park's Arabian Village. On the final day, the group will be presented with certificates and giveaways and gather for a buffet lunch, before joining their families for a final tour of the park.
Khalid Al Suwaidi, director of leisure facilities at the Dubai Municipality, said: "The camp gives our younger guests the opportunity to learn more about the animal kingdom. Children are fascinated by animals, and by teaching them more about their lives and habitats, we aim to encourage a life-long passion, instilling the importance of wildlife conservation in future generations."
