Spend a wild overnight Staycation with flamingos and manatees with Mandai Wildlife Group’s 2022 Staycation Packages

Mandai Wildlife Group has prepared a fun and glamping experience with animals this 2022 and you shouldn’t miss it! Here’s everything you need to know:

Staycation with the Flamingos

The unique 2D1N staycation offers exclusive encounters with the park’s avian residents. Get up-close with one of the stars of the Kings of the Skies animal presentation such as a Changeable Hawk Eagle or Malayan Fish Owl and learn about the amazing adaptations of these birds of prey.

Get up close to a bird of prey such as the Malayan Fish Owl and learn about their incredible adaptations that make them adept hunters.

The splendour of rainforests comes alive on journeys through African Treetops where you can get acquainted with a variety of African bird species through feeding sessions.

As night falls, enjoy a hearty dinner and flamingo-themed craft activity, before retreating to your personal bell tent complete with two double beds for the night.

Tuck into bed in a bell tent right by Flamingo Lake with its flamboyance of over 160 Greater Flamingos.

Wake up to a sea of pink with flamingos greeting you and feed them their first meal of the day, before tucking into your own breakfast. March down to Penguin Coast for a breakfast feeding of the park’s waddle of penguins.

Right after tucking into your own breakfast, feed the African Penguins their morning meal and learn about their quirks at the park’s Penguin Coast.

Set off on a private guided tour to the newly refreshed Waterfall Aviary and learn about its newest residents such as the Roseate Spoonbills and Straw Necked Ibises.

Immerse in an experience like no other through a guided tour of Waterfall Aviary, Jurong Bird Park’s largest free-flight aviary. Get up-close encounters while feeding its colourful residents with the 30-metre-tall waterfall as a backdrop.

Take selfies with the aviary’s crowning feature, a 30-metre-tall waterfall, the world’s tallest within an aviary. Catch the vibrant High Flyers animal presentation with reserved seating and hang back to meet and greet a mystery avian star.

Hang back after the High Flyers presentation for an exclusive session with avian stars such as the Bar-pouched Wreathed Hornbill.
