Dubai: Dubai Safari Park has officially concluded its seventh season, marking another successful year of achievements across conservation, education, animal welfare, scientific research, and visitor engagement. Muna Alhajeri, Director of Dubai Safari Park, emphasized the remarkable progress made, from welcoming 144 newborn animals to engaging thousands of students and strengthening global partnerships.
According to Emirates News Agency, the park introduced new experiences while revisiting popular attractions, including the launch of the first-ever Festive Village and the return of Iftar in the Wild. Record-breaking engagement during Eid Al Etihad celebrations further solidified the park's status as a leading family destination. Community-led initiatives, inspired by the beloved white rhino calf Salam, fostered meaningful discussions on conservation and wildlife protection.
The park experienced strong visitation, with over 22,000 tickets sold through travel partners in 2025, and welcomed 27,654 students for wildlife-focused educational programs. Conservation efforts continued with the birth of 144 animals, including endangered species such as Addax and Arabian Wolves. Membership in the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria highlighted the park's conservation milestones.
Scientific research and veterinary excellence were also focal points, with two research studies published and 34 surgeries performed. The park's advanced pregnancy monitoring and molecular diagnostics contributed to successful births and improved animal healthcare. Preventative healthcare programs and new laboratory technologies reduced external testing reliance by 99 percent.
Dubai Safari Park is now closed for a summer break and will reopen later this year for its eighth season.
