The Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) in Sharjah has unveiled the visual identity of Sharjah Safari during a press conference at its headquarters in Al Dhaid city.
The safari is the world’s largest outside of Africa, with over 120 African species of animals, the rarest of which are the black rhinoceros along with more than 100,000 native and African trees, the most important of which is Acacia Torilis.

His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah recently approved the logo of “Sharjah Safari”, which consists of a combination of four endangered animals including the elephant, the giraffe, the lion and the rhinoceros, formed in four colors. It represents the values on which the Emirate stands for Integration, Balance, Diversity, Institutional Character, and International Spirit.

“The Sharjah Safari project, located within the Albridi Reserve in Al Dhaid, was the most important event in the authority’s extended journey. Many years of work have gone into protecting the environment, preserving nature and ensuring the availability of resources for future generations, as national wealth and sustainable development. The Emirate of Sharjah and the UAE will soon have a tourist attraction and an unparalleled natural destination. We look forward to the Sharjah Safari contributing to preserving biodiversity and wildlife and highlighting the efforts of the emirate.”
Ms. Al Suwaidi also mentioned that the Sharjah safari will feature 12 different habitats that resemble African life and terrain, the animals and birds that live in it, as well as an area for giraffes, 15 of which were released into the wild to adapt to the safari environment, and a rhino area.
The Sharjah Safari logo represents the project’s uniqueness. It distinguishes the safari by using geometric lines to create an image that can be viewed as a mix of animals and plants. The design was inspired by the African environment, including its animals and plants, and was created as a tourism and scientific project for the multiplication of endangered animals and the resettlement of rhinos, giraffes, gazelles, and birds.
