All the Night Safari trams rides are guided by experienced Tram Drivers and professional Tram Commentators. Together, they will guide you through an enchanting journey into the wilderness at night. You can usually encounter up to 40 different species of animals and birds in one trip but of course, you must play your part and look real hard for them in the dim light. This is half the fun for remember, you are traveling in a safari and the animals do not always stand at certain spots to be seen by visitors, if not Night Safari would just merely be a night zoo and nothing spectacular. 

The tram commentary comes in 3 different languages, the main and most frequent being English. Mandarin commentary used to be available on Saturdays and eve of public holidays. Now Mandarin commentary is only available to specially chartered groups and they must request for it in advance. Japanese commentary is on almost everyday and these are available to both Japanese tour groups that made prior bookings and to walk-in Japanese guests.
