Our Story
Born out of Rescue. Driven by Love.
Our story began in 2019 with a simple, profound mission: to build a safe, loving sanctuary for wild animals that were injured, abandoned, or in need of specialized care. Founded by Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish and fueled by an uncompromising dedication to wildlife welfare, Al Buqaish Private Zoo grew from a private refuge into an extraordinary haven.
Following UAE regulations protecting exotic wildlife, Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish stepped up to ensure these beautiful creatures have a place to thrive. Every animal born in captivity or brought to us carries a unique story. Because they cannot be released back into the wild, they become part of our family. We do not commercially buy or trade animals; our entire ecosystem runs on absolute dedication, public support, and a shared love for the natural world.
Our Promise to Our Animals
"Trust is the foundation of Al Buqaish Private Zoo. Every single evening, our team personally checks the well-being of every resident. While safety enclosures are essential for both guest and animal security, the bonds Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish and our keepers share with these creatures are rooted in family, absolute care, and deep respect."
