Rainforest Wild Adventure in Mandai, Singapore, has fully opened after launching a second phase featuring an African-inspired zone [1].
The expansion marks a significant increase in the park's capacity to house endangered wildlife and provides new immersive experiences for visitors. By integrating high-adrenaline activities with conservation efforts, the park aims to engage the public in the protection of fragile ecosystems.
The new section of the park debuted during a soft opening on May 20, 2026 [2]. This phase expands the total site to 20 hectares [3]. The African-inspired area is designed to showcase landscapes from the continent and serves as a new home for the endangered okapi [1].
Visitors can now access a variety of active attractions within the expanded grounds. These include zip lines and cave climbs, which are intended to blend physical adventure with the natural environment [3]. The Mandai Wildlife Group operates the facility, focusing on the intersection of wildlife education and tourism.
The project's completion allows the park to transition from its initial Asia-focused adventure to a more global representation of rainforest environments. The introduction of the okapi highlights the park's role in supporting species that are critically threatened in the wild [1].
With the grand opening occurring later in May 2026, the facility is now operating at full scale [2]. The integration of the second phase completes the vision for the 20-hectare site, creating a comprehensive destination for biodiversity, and recreation in Singapore [3].
“The African-inspired area is designed to showcase landscapes from the continent and serves as a new home for the endangered okapi.”
The full opening of Rainforest Wild Adventure signals a strategic shift by the Mandai Wildlife Group to diversify its zoological offerings beyond regional species. By combining endangered species conservation, such as the okapi program, with commercial adventure tourism, Singapore is positioning its wildlife parks as multifunctional hubs for both environmental education and high-end tourism.
