What it is

Chiang Mai Night Safari is a 104-hectare open-air wildlife park operated by the Thai government, located roughly 12 km southwest of Chiang Mai's Old City in Hang Dong district. The park houses over 1,400 animals representing more than 130 species. Its signature experience is a pair of open-sided tram circuits — Predator Prowl and Savanna Safari — that wind through darkened enclosures and savanna-style habitats after sunset, giving visitors close-range views of nocturnal predators and wide-ranging grazers. A separate on-foot route, the Jaguar Trail, loops 1.2 km around a scenic lake and showcases more than 57 wildlife species in landscaped settings. The park also features evening entertainment including a musical dancing fountain show with water jets, laser projections, and light effects. While the park opens from 11 AM, the experience is designed around the night hours when animals are most active and the tram ride, trail, and fountain show can all be enjoyed together.

Highlights

Predator Prowl tram zone — open-sided tram rides past white tigers, lions, spotted hyenas, wolves, Asiatic black bears, and crocodiles in floodlit nocturnal enclosures
Savanna Safari tram zone — circuit through African-style open savanna with giraffes, zebras, white rhinos, wildebeest, cheetahs, and ostriches roaming at close range
Jaguar Trail — 1.2-km walking path around a lake featuring 57+ wildlife species amid landscaped greenery, ideal for a self-paced stroll between tram rides
Musical dancing fountain show — nightly water and laser light show with fountains reaching over 12 meters high and 20 meters wide, typically staged twice each evening
Night Predator Show — live animal performance highlighting the park's big cats and predator species (check current schedule on-site as programming may vary seasonally)
Over 130 species in one park — one of the largest collections of African and Asian wildlife in Southeast Asia, viewable both by tram and on foot

Good to know

Best time to visit is after sunset — the tram zones and fountain show are designed for nighttime, and animals tend to be more active once the heat of the day drops; arriving around 6–7 PM lets you catch both the tram rides and the late fountain shows
Standard admission generally includes both tram circuits (Predator Prowl and Savanna Safari) and access to the Jaguar Trail walking zone; verify what your specific ticket tier covers when booking, as pricing tiers and inclusions can vary by platform
Plan for roughly 2–3 hours on-site to cover both tram zones, a lap of the Jaguar Trail, and at least one fountain show — longer if you linger at exhibits or dine at the park's lakeside restaurants
Getting there: the park is about 12 km southwest of Chiang Mai Old City in Hang Dong; the easiest options are a hired red songthaew or taxi (agree on fare in advance) — negotiate the return trip before you go in, as drivers wait outside at closing; a free evening minibus reportedly departs from near the Night Bazaar tourist police area, though schedules may change
No flash photography — to avoid disturbing the animals, flash shooting is not permitted in the tram zones; a camera with good low-light capability is worth bringing
The Jaguar Trail is a flat, paved walking path suitable for most fitness levels; wear closed-toe shoes and bring insect repellent for the evening hours
