Today was dedicated to visiting the Singapore Zoo, and the Night Safari, which is located next door to the zoo. We woke up around 9am, and went in search of breakfast. We found a bunch of restaurants on floor B2 inside the Jewel and settled on some Laksa Soup for breakfast. After having our soup, we boarded a 1 hour bus ride towards the zoo, where we then had to switch to the dedicated zoo bus, which only cost $1, and was not covered under our tourist pass.

The Singapore Zoo was opened in 1973 on 69 acres of land. The zoo consists of 2530 animals over 315 species, of which 16 are considered to be a threatened species. This zoo is considered one of the best zoo’s in the world, of which I would agree. Highlights for me included the White Tiger, Pygmy Hippo, Orangutans, and the Hamadryas Baboon’s, who were hilarious because they were always getting into fights.

After exploring the zoo, we walked across the street to the Night Safari, which has a tram and four walking paths to watch nocturnal animals. We found the Night Safari experience to be rather underwhelming, however we were fairly tired, so that may have contributed to that feeling.

After exploring the Night Safari, we took the buses back to our hotel and went to bed at around 10pm, as we had an early morning flight the following morning to Denpasar, Indonesia.
