We have decided to give Al Ain Zoo Safari a chance to try and it definitely was an excellent idea! The ticket grants an entry for the Zoo attractions plus the SUV ride into the Safari experience which take around 45-60 mins. The ticket must be bought in advance through their official website and it will cost AED 1050 for 6 people (who can get into the SUV) and this includes Giraffe feeding which the kids loved the most. The experience was fun and we totally enjoyed the day and it was one to remember.

My wife recently booked tickets to the zoo and there was a special activity where you can have a closeup lunch experience with the big cats i.e. Leopard and Lions and initially I thought the idea was rather silly especially given the price tag but after going through with the experience, I can truly say it is worth the price. Before I talk about the Lunch with the Big Cats, the overall zoo experience was also great. They had animals from around the world, many from the middle-east and African continents where you often cannot find in other zoos. It was clean and the staff were professional and helpful. You can buy grass to feedback the animals which our kids really enjoyed. Now back to the lunch experience, it was a private session where we were sat in a room right in between the Leopard and the Lion's sanctuaries. As you can see from the pictures on their web site, a bulletproof glass separates us from the animals and while we were dining on burgers and hot dogs, our Leopard and Lion friends were also fed their lunch while we enjoy their company, up close and personal. The best part for me was the guide Meena who was educating us about the animals, their backgrounds and their nature and all. We got some lovely photos out of this and our kids also really enjoyed the experience as much as we did as adults. Highly recommended.
