A private chauffeur for Mandai

The Mandai Wildlife Reserve brings together the wildlife parks of Mandai Wildlife Group: Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Bird Paradise and, after dark, the Night Safari. Your chauffeur drops you at the arrival point that serves your park, waits for you or returns at the agreed time, then drives you back to the city.

Mandai by car: two arrival points, EAST and WEST

According to Mandai Wildlife Group, the reserve is about a thirty-minute drive from the city. It has two separate arrival points: Mandai Wildlife WEST, at 20 Mandai Lake Road, for Bird Paradise and Rainforest Wild Adventure WEST; Mandai Wildlife EAST, at 80 Mandai Lake Road, for Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, the Night Safari and Rainforest Wild Adventure EAST.

Tell us which park you are visiting and your chauffeur will drop you at the arrival point that serves it. Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, at 60 Mandai Lake Road, has its own drop-off and pick-up point for chauffeur-driven cars and taxis.

In the Mandai car parks, vehicle height is limited to 2.1 m; taller vehicles park in the coach bays, at EAST and WEST alike.

The daytime parks: Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Bird Paradise

According to Mandai Wildlife Group, Singapore Zoo opens daily from 8.30 am to 6 pm, River Wonders and Bird Paradise from 9 am to 6 pm; last entry is at 5 pm. Singapore Zoo and River Wonders share the EAST arrival point, while Bird Paradise is at WEST: for two parks in one day, your chauffeur drives you from one to the other.

Tickets are booked directly with Mandai Wildlife Group. Book them before fixing the day, then send us the programme and we will plan the journeys around it.

The Night Safari, after dark

The Night Safari opens daily from 6 pm to midnight, with last entry at 11.15 pm; its walking trails and tram start at 7 pm, according to Mandai Wildlife Group.

An evening at the Night Safari ends late: we agree with you the time of departure from your hotel, the drop-off at the EAST arrival point, the pick-up point and any dinner before your visit. Several journeys can appear on the same quote.

Staying at Mandai

Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, within the reserve, lets you stay on after the Night Safari or before a morning at the zoo. Your chauffeur drives you there from Changi Airport or your hotel in the city, and collects you at the agreed time.

Planning your day at Mandai

Two highlights are better than a crowded programme. A few combinations that work well:

  • Singapore Zoo in the morning, River Wonders in the afternoon, without changing arrival point.
  • Bird Paradise in the morning at WEST, then Singapore Zoo in the afternoon at EAST, with your chauffeur driving you between the two.
  • Dinner in the city, then the Night Safari and the drive back to your hotel.

For a day out, the chauffeur and the car remain at your disposal for the time set out in the quote. Tell us the date, the pick-up address and time, the parks you have chosen, the number of passengers and the children’s ages, any tickets already booked and when you would like to be back. Cars are provided by the Federation’s members, subject to their availability. Let’s talk about your visit, or use our Contact page.
