Rainforest Wild Asia Adventure in Mandai is now fully operational following the launch of its African-inspired zone this month [1].

The completion of the park's second phase marks a significant expansion of Singapore's wildlife tourism and conservation efforts. By integrating diverse habitats and endangered species, the facility aims to increase public awareness of global biodiversity.

The second phase began with a soft opening on May 20, 2026 [2], followed by a grand opening later in the month [3]. This final stage of development brings the total area of the attraction to 20 hectares [2, 3].

A central feature of the new zone is the debut of the okapi, an endangered species. The African-inspired area is designed to simulate natural environments, allowing visitors to engage with wildlife in a setting that mirrors their native habitats [1, 3].

In addition to the new animal exhibits, the second phase introduces several interactive elements. Visitors can now access zip-lines, and cave climbs, which are intended to blend adventure tourism with environmental education [3].

The Mandai Wildlife Group developed the site to provide a comprehensive look at rainforest ecosystems. The full 20-hectare footprint allows for more expansive enclosures, and a wider variety of flora and fauna than the initial phase provided [2].

“The attraction is fully open after the launch of the African-inspired zone.”

The full opening of Rainforest Wild Asia Adventure signals the completion of a major infrastructure project for the Mandai Wildlife Group. By combining high-adrenaline activities like zip-lining with the exhibition of endangered species such as the okapi, the park is pivoting toward a hybrid model of 'edutainment.' This approach seeks to attract a broader demographic of tourists while maintaining a mandate for conservation education.
