Mix of Animals

Al Suwaidi confirmed that the visual identity of the Sharjah safari, which was adopted by His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, includes a mixture of four animals: the elephant, giraffe, lion and rhinoceros, which are considered endangered species found in Sharjah safari, formed in four colors, all inspired by nature, using thin lines that appear combined with flora and fauna. The visual identity represents the Sharjah Safari brand concepts: integration, diversity, corporate personality and international spirit, with an emphasis on the geometric pattern visible in the shapes and lines.

Sharjah Safari contains several areas that mimic the natural regions of Africa, and the first area, “Into Africa”, takes visitors on a unique walking experience to explore the wildlife endemic to the islands and archipelagos scattered along the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.

The second region, the Sahel, is represented by deserts, grasslands and diverse wildlife. It stretches in Africa from the Atlantic coast of Mauritania in the west to Eritrea and the Red Sea in the east. It is a transitional zone rich in wildlife between the Sahara Desert in the north and the Savannah to the south.

The third region, the Savanna, in eastern and southern Africa extends from the coast in the north to the Kalahari in the southwest. This African tropical grassland covers half the area of the African continent and is home to the largest concentration of biodiversity on Earth.

While the fourth region, the Serengeti, celebrates the largest migration of animals in the world every year, as large groups of herbivores migrate across the Serengeti plains and works to attract predators and animals that feed on carrion, crossing the Mara River, where Nile crocodiles lie in the murky waters. These crocodiles are dangerous to migratory herbivores.

The fifth region, Ngorongoro, formed from an extinct crater, is a unique ecosystem and home to some of Africa’s most famous species. While the sixth region, “Moremi”, was inspired by the canyons and valleys of southwest Africa formed over centuries by the heavy monsoon rains; These dry and sandy riverbeds contain aquifers that support life throughout the dry season, including the tallest animal on Earth.
