The municipality took to Twitter to say that this was a good season for the safari park. But a short summer vacation is essential to protect the health of the animals. The municipality said it would meet again in September. During the closure of the safari park, the animals will be accommodated in specially prepared areas adjacent to the natural habitat. During this time, the Dubai Municipality said it could upgrade services at the park, improve animal habitats and make necessary repairs.
