Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Group is doubling down on its wildest concept yet. Starting May 20, 2026, Rainforest Wild Asia will unveil a second phase, transforming into the sprawling 20-hectare Rainforest Wild Adventure—a high-octane, nature-infused playground blending Asian and African-inspired landscapes. The expanded park introduces nine adrenaline-pumping Adventure+ activities, the Southeast Asian debut of the elusive okapi, and Singapore’s first National Geographic pop-up retail spaces.
The new section, Rainforest Wild Adventure East, draws its design from African habitats and topography. Visitors seeking thrills can glide across the canopy at Canopy Glider, swing eight metres above ground on the Ravine Swing, or scale Split Rock Summit for panoramic views. For a more grounded adventure, the Primate Climb takes guests 11 metres up—eye level with Diana monkeys—while a 125-metre Treetop Traverse offers a harnessed course through the treetops, with the unpredictable bonus of wildlife wandering below.
These additions complement the existing Rainforest Wild Adventure West, which features a 20-metre Canopy Jump, a rockwall climb set in a limestone karst landscape, and Black Adventures—guided high-element experiences and simulated cave expeditions. For those preferring a leisurely pace, wide walkways and forest trails throughout the park are stroller and wheelchair-friendly.
The wildlife is far from mere backdrop. The okapi, an endangered Central African mammal often called a “forest giraffe,” makes its Southeast Asian debut in the expanded zone. Four individuals have arrived from European zoos as part of a global breeding programme. They join a cast including pygmy hippos, eastern bongos, red river hogs, and Nile lechwe, plus a Madagascar-inspired multi-species habitat featuring lemurs, turacos, and ibises. Habitats are designed to be naturalistic, meaning animal sightings are never guaranteed—and every encounter feels like a genuine discovery.
In a first for Singapore, Mandai Wildlife Group has partnered with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia to open National Geographic pop-up shops in both East and West zones. The retail spaces carry National Geographic apparel—graphic tees, outdoor wear, and accessories—set against interiors inspired by the publication’s iconic photography.
Ticket and access details: A single ticket grants entry to both zones and includes selected Adventure+ activities—all nine on weekdays, up to five on weekends. Additional experiences are available for separate purchase. Free shuttle services connect the two zones, with transfers to Khatib MRT running every 15 to 20 minutes. Rainforest Wild Adventure is open daily from 9am to 6pm (last entry at 5pm). Local adult tickets cost $50 under WildPass, $35 for children and students, and $25 for seniors. Non-resident tickets are $55 for adults and $39 for children.
As Singapore continues to cement its reputation as a hub for immersive wildlife experiences, Rainforest Wild Adventure stands as a bold step forward—blending conservation, adrenaline, and retail. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the Mandai Wildlife Group website.
