Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Do you know? The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve contains more species of trees than the entire North American continent. This is just incredible! Even though it may be small but it definitely has a rich habitat!
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is one of the first forest reserves established in Singapore. These nature reserves bounded with 4 reservoirs – namely the Mac Ritchie Reservoir, Lower Peirce Reservoir, Upper Peirce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir. The nature reserves act as water catchment for the reservoirs. In addition, the nature reserves also ensure the quality of water in the reservoirs.
We went to track there; it was fun and trilling but tiring. The trip was amazing; we tracked through the forest and saw many different types of trees and other things. Furthermore, the trip was a memorable one because when we were tracking, we helped each other as a team.
If you love flora and fauna, this will be an ideal place for you. If you are lucky, you might even have the chance to see families of squirrels or and monkeys running around the forest floor.
To help you enjoy your experience there, here is a map of the Bukit Timah Natural Reserve:
This would be useful in helping you find your way around. There are different routes that you can take:

During night time, the observation wheel itself is very beautiful and filled with different coloured lighting. This is the perfect place for couples to enjoy the romantic scenery!

It is another famous sightseeing place that tourists and locals like to go. With over 2,500 specimens from 315 species, 16% of which are threatened, the Zoo has attained a strong reputation internationally for its conservation initiatives and breeding programmes. We went to the Zoo to learn more about the animals and their habitats. The trip was fun and exciting but tiring! We saw many animals that are rare and endangered like elephants, tigers and polar bears. It’s quite sad to hear that many animals are still being hunt in the world despite being endangered. There are many animal shows at the Zoo that animals perform some stunts that will fascinate the crowds. These shows are incredible and beautiful. We highly recommend you all visit Singapore Zoological Garden because it worth every penny you pay!

We recommend you to visit the white tiger exhibit because white tigers are really beautiful.

We were amazed when we first stepped into Night Safari because this was the first time we went to a Zoo during the night time. It was really thrilling! There is a tram to drive you around the Night Safari and you can alight at different stops to have a closer look at the animals. When we first stepped into Night Safari, we thought it’s just another zoo and it has nothing special. But after the trip, our though quickly changed about the Night Safari.

We highly recommend you all to visit Night Safari because it’s the first in the world and it’s the most special “Night” Zoo in the world!

Night Safari
Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal zoo and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore. What is so special in the place is because unlike traditional nocturnal houses, which reverse the day-night cycle of animals so they will be active by day, the Night Safari is an entire open-air zoo set in a humid tropical forest that is only open at night. If you visit Singapore Zoological Garden, you definitely have to visit Night Safari.

Three interlinked trails – Leopard, Fishing Cat and Forest Giants – offer a triple dose of adventure as you encounter different animals on foot. A feast for the senses, you can walk amidst giant flying squirrels gliding from tree to tree, marvel at the swiftness of the fishing cats zeroing on their prey or reach dizzying heights as you peer over treetops. This is another different experience as compared to you taking the tram, now you are on your own, walking but not tram. You might be able to see different animals all around you. It is very safe from the animals from attacking you because you will be walking on the treetops which these are not able to reach you. In the way, you can have a closer gaze on this wildlife.
