How is it already nearing the end of October? Immerse yourself in the festive celebration, from day to night. This year, the holiday season takes on a new twist at Mandai Wildlife Reserve.
From 15 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, this popular destination will be transformed into a Festive WILD-erland, spotlighting the threatened animal species that we protect.
Spot an eight-metre tall Tree of Life, the first-ever wildlife-themed Christmas tree that adorns animal themed ornaments representing endangered species. You can pledge to support the endangered animals by learning about the conservation efforts made by the wildlife reserve. Share your #MyWildPledge on social media to raise awareness.
Here are some of the activities and locations within the wildlife reserve that you can look out for this Christmas season at the WILD-erland.
