Visit the Creatures of the Night - Night Safari!

Below is the experience of Carlo Antonio Dottore, the NUS CEEDer from Italy, when he went for the Night Safari trip organized by AIESEC in NTU:

Great organization for the visit to the Night Safari of Singapore by the guys of AIESEC in NTU. A small group of 7 people spent 3 and half hours wondering about the shows offered by night creatures such as Flying Squirrels, Malayan Tigers and Leopards.

Arrived at the NS at 8:30 we started going around in the zoo, shocked and confused by the tribal dancers’ bongos. A quick look at the Bridge of Suspense, to strange kinds of bearded pigs, cute striped deers and huge buffaloes and then straight to the “Creatures of the Night Show”. The Show was really entertaining with the exhibitions of owls flying through the crowd, jumping Pumas and Big Pitons just under the seats, and a very funny girl joking with the crowd, with children and with her assistants.

After the show, back to the trail to enjoy other animals.

We went through a small area where bats could fly just above our heads… Seems that bats are friendly animals as long as you don’t provoke them… Anyhow, nobody expected to see 70 cm big bats. The NS was about to close and we just had the chance to catch the last tram taking us to an area not accessible by foot, where you could see huge Elephants and other creatures.

Thanks to Alvin, LCP of AIESEC in NTU for organizing such an interesting, funny and marvellous trip.
