SAFARI IN DUBAI
A SAFARI park is set to open in Dubai’s Al Warqa district this autumn. The 294-acre site will be home to 10,000 animals, with the first phase seeing the introduction of lions, antelopes and elephants.
Enclosures will have air-conditioned rocks, chilled pools and misting machines to keep the animals cool over the torrid summer months and the attraction will have Arabian, Asian, African, American and Australian villages with an on-site hotel also planned (visitdubai.com).

Riders can go singly or in pairs and three trips are £15 per person for riders aged nine years and over, £7.50 for under-nines.
