Anyway here is the verdict:

Well the entrance fee is pretty costly, and it excludes the tramride that brings you around the safari. I would recommend everyone to take tramride though (costs 10 dollars per pax). With live audio commentary as the tram brings you around the park, you can enjoy the cool breeze of the night as the tram passes through the various attractions. The highlight i guess would be when the tapir, deer or mysterious swampthing of the night stroll past the tram nonchalently. Its just beside you man! No flash photography though, which also means you cant really take much photos.

Oh yea, and be sure to take a walk across the park too. The warm, low lighting across the safari provides quite a romantic avenue for couples to spend their evening too.

Also, please make sure u visits the "bat's den" too. There u will come into close no holds bar contact with the BATS. Not to worry, they are just fruit bats and probably, most probably wont bite you. Guys, hold close to your gals.

Overall its a positve experience. (though most of the times the animals are pretty lazy and some have gone hiding). Quite impressed with how the guys have revamped Night Safari, and the service there is excellent. If u have the time and the spare cash why not? Its nice!
