Wildlife Reserves Singapore has announced a two-day-one-night (2D1N) programme where you get to spend the night at the Amazon Flooded Forest of River Safari.

Amazon Flooded Forest is home to a herd of 18 manatees and other freshwater creatures.

The 2D1N stayover includes the following, according to WRS:
