The River Safari silver corporate pass membership scheme costs $5700 per year for two passes while its gold membership scheme is $9500 for four passes. Each pass will admit the staff and three additional guests. Do note that you will need to show both staff pass and the River Safari pass at the entry gate.
Saved quite abit of money from this because if we did not use this pass, it would have cost us $91.00! (based on 3 adult tickets of $25 each and 1 child ticket of $16). So I am really grateful to the HR of my company for purchasing this membership scheme! :)
We set off for the venue at about 9.35 am and reached there around 9.55 am. The parking at River Safari is not cheap at $4.80 per entry, so it would be more worthwhile to stay at least a couple of hours there! If you are going there by public transport, here is the link with instructions on how to get there.
Another very useful link is of course the MAP! There are two "sides" to the River Safari; at the time of our visit, only the left side was fully opened. But thats okay because we still managed to spot some of the highlights of this animal park such as the Giant Pandas and giant sea animals.
Anyway, here's some of my favourite parts of River Safari that I want to share!
Red Panda: This is in the same aircon enclosure as the Giant Panda. I actually prefer this to the Jiajia and Kaikai one because the two red pandas were really active and gave plenty of chance for us to capture videos of them in action.
The manatees: This exhibit was in a giant aquarium enclosure very much like the Underwater World Museum in Sentosa where you feel like you are walking inside the sea itself because the floor of the room has rippling shadow effects that make one feel there are water waves circling around the feet.
The manatees are HUGE. They are also very active like the red pandas so its quite fun to observe them swimming up and down among the other smaller fishes in the same aquarium.
Squirrel Monkey:
One of my favourites! You can get really up close and personal with this cutie animal because they are housed in an open-top sheltered area where they can freely roam around as the visitors walk inside the gated area.
Giant carp:
"Normal-sized" carp I have seen plenty but it was a first time for me to see such giantic ones up close and darting around in the waters.
Giant Pandas:
Well.. everyone is raving about them so I guess I ought to upload a picture of the famed celebrities Jiajia and Kaikai.
Only managed to catch one of them though and she was napping! :(
