In March 2025, Mandai Wildlife Reserve in Singapore will unveil Rainforest Wild Asia, an adventure-focused zoological park and the fifth addition to Singapore’s wildlife attractions. This 13-hectare park promises a unique rainforest experience that combines Southeast Asia’s natural ecosystems with diverse, interactive trails for visitors of all ages. Accessible via Mandai Wildlife West, the park offers various pathways, from universally designed walkways for leisurely explorers to thrilling options for adventure enthusiasts .
An Adventure for All Ages and Abilities
Rainforest Wild Asia caters to everyone, from families with young children and strollers to thrill-seekers ready for high-element experiences like the Canopy Jump, where guests leap from platforms as high as 20 meters, and Arboreal Bounce, an open-air trampoline adventure 7 meters above ground. The park’s design includes elevated walkways with sheltered rest stops, ensuring accessibility for all, including wheelchair users .
Immersive Animal Encounters and Conservation Education
The park will feature 29 iconic animal species in carefully curated, flexible habitats that allow animals to roam and display natural behaviors. Notable species include Malayan tigers, sun bears, red dholes, babirusas, and rare finds like the François’ langur and Philippine spotted deer. These animals will be visible in various zones throughout the day, offering an educational experience that fosters a deep connection to nature .
Exploring Southeast Asia’s Natural Diversity
Rainforest Wild Asia recreates Southeast Asia’s diverse landscapes across ten distinct zones. The Karsts zone highlights jagged limestone formations where primates swing through the trees, while The Rock Cascade features waterfalls, streams, and rocky outcrops that serve as habitats for Malayan tigers. At the Watering Hole, visitors can observe Malayan sun bears foraging in trees and tapirs roaming the forest floor. The Cavern, inspired by Sarawak’s UNESCO-recognized Mulu Caves, provides a subterranean journey where guests can explore intricate cave formations .
Mandai Wildlife Group has taken extensive conservation steps, planting nearly 7,000 Southeast Asian trees and shrubs to enhance biodiversity. The park aims to deepen public awareness of rainforest ecosystems and inspire conservation efforts through immersive design and environmental education initiatives.
With an anticipated expansion, Rainforest Wild Africa, focusing on Afro-Tropical landscapes, Rainforest Wild Asia sets a new standard for immersive wildlife experiences, firmly establishing Mandai Wildlife Reserve as a world-class nature destination .
