Wrap up the year with an enchanting digital experience at River Wonders and Night Safari

24 Nov 2023
Embark on an illuminating day-to-night journey across River Wonders and Night Safari from now till 17 March 2024. Spot animals in plain sight or shrouded in darkness at Secret Wild-erland. Through a series of dazzling displays, learn why there’s more than meets the eye with the underwater and nocturnal inhabitants of our planet. This digital experience is in collaboration with NAKED, INC., a Japan-based creative company that specialises in immersive digital art.

Secret Wild-erland features a two-park self-guided journey. At Night Safari, meander through the East Lodge and put your skills to the test, like identifying creatures of the night.

At River Wonders, step through water-like curtains and take a deep dive into the alluring Amazon Flooded Forest. Watch a projection show and discover the beauty of Amazonian wildlife, as well as the amazing adaptive skills of animals such as the Amazon river dolphins and manatees. Guests can contribute to an ‘aquatic clean-up’ and appreciate the importance of clean water in our ecosystem, as well as the interdependencies in the natural world. As the water clears up with every step you take, plants start to flourish and animals come forth.

The adventure extends into the mysterious night. At Night Safari’s East Lodge, check out the interactive display where you can try spotting native wildlife from the Sunda pangolin to the Common palm civet and Malayan porcupine. With a tap, observe them coming towards you – with a fun fact or two – before they make a stealthy return. Along your journey, pit yourself against our agile creatures of the night by bringing on your best jump, or discover your animal alter-ego.

In partnership with Air New Zealand, Night Safari’s signature Tipi Tent transforms into a Mystical Bar with a special dining experience. Sip on a cocktail or mocktail, paired with selected light bites curated by local bar Jekyll & Hyde, whilst surrounded by projections inspired by New Zealand’s Southern Lights. Toast to the festive season over delightful conversations with your loved ones! Guests who visit the Mystical Bar from 24 November to 31 December 2023 stand a chance to win a return trip for the family to New Zealand, or other prizes including wildlife tours.
