You'll also have a close-up visit with a reticulated python, the longest snake in the world. After your breakfast in the wild, take a tram ride around the Open Zoo, a new concept in animal-keeping featuring landscaped gardens and minimal cages.

Singapore Zoo is in the north of the island at Mandai, by the serene Seletar Reservoir, and is immensely proud of its orangutan-breeding program. By focusing on these magnificent creatures, whose plight symbolizes the disappearance of tropical rainforests around the world, the zoo hopes to nurture a respect and deep appreciation of nature in all who visit the zoo.
