Rainforest Wild Adventure
The hullabaloo about Rainforest Wild Asia, it seems, is not ready to die down yet, because on 20th May 2026, an entire new wing, its 2nd phase, will be open for its soft launch. Previously the Africa portion of Rainforest Wild Asia & Africa, the entire park will henceforth be known as Rainforest Wild Adventure, which we think certainly has a catchier ring to it.
Spread over Mandai East and Mandai West, you’ll have to take a shuttle bus between the 2 zones, or walk via sheltered walkway – both sections are included in every Rainforest Wild Adventure park ticket.
What is Rainforest Wild Adventure?
Inspired by Afro-tropical & Madagascan landscapes

This latest phase of the Rainforest Wild park officially rounds out the 5th zoological park that makes up Mandai Wildlife Reserve Singapore. As its earlier name suggests, it’s inspired by Afro-tropical and Madagascan rainforests, complementing its Asian counterparts in the half of the park that we’ve already seen.
It adds 7 extra hectares of zoo to the current 13-hectare Rainforest Wild Asia.

Each of the zoological parks boasts iconic wildlife species, and this latest wing is not to be outdone – their creature of honour is the okapi, an endangered species from the Congo in Central Africa. Rainforest Wild Adventure is the first Southeast Asian zoo to house these zebra-stripe-legged mammals.
Yes, we will host 4 of them – 2 pairs, recommended for breeding, who’ve been flown in from European zoos in a coordinated conservation initiative.
Besides these Congolese giraffes, as they’re otherwise known, you can look forward to seeing pygmy hippos, Eastern bongos, red river hogs, and Nile lechwes, which are an endangered species of antelope from South Sudan and Ethiopia.
6 new Adventure+ activities

If you recall, we reviewed the Wild Apex Adventure at Rainforest Wild Asia, AKA Rainforest Wild Adventure West. That part of the park housed a rock wall climb, canopy jump, and the AIA Vitality Bounce, alongside the Wild Cavern Adventure as well.
We’re here to tell you that the park is absolutely living up to the “Adventure” in its new name, with 6 new Adventure+ activities that you can look forward to.
First up, the Cavern Crawl in the West zone will see adventurers navigate a 60m-long cave tunnel, filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and hissing cockroaches.

Over in the East zone, there’s a Canopy Glider which will take you on the scenic route through the treetops for a bird’s eye view of the park.

Then, the Ravine Swing propels you out, 8m high, over the valley in which the animals roam; a Primate Climb takes you 11m up a Strangler Fig tree, to a vantage point over the park’s Diana monkeys in their treetop homes.

Otherwise, check out an alternative view of the Madagascan rainforests at Split Rock Summit, where you’ll climb vertical rungs and inch your way across narrow boulders with your lemur pals.

Last but not least, you’ll have to keep an eye out for the okapi as you take on the Treetop Traverse, a 125m-long suspension bridge with narrow planks and nets that will be a true test of your agility.
