The experience can accommodate groups of up to 10 guests and is planned as a four-hour private experience with VIP treatment, reserved seating and guided tours.

The new season follows a significant seventh season for the park. Dubai Safari Park reported 144 newborn animals, engagement with 27,654 students, and more than 220,000 travel-trade tickets during Season 7. The park also became a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).

For public transport, the official website recommends travelling by Dubai Metro to Centrepoint Station and then taking Bus F10 towards Dubai Safari Park.
