Best time: November–March for migratory shorebirds; early mornings and late afternoons year‑round for cooler temperatures and more active wildlife.

Tropical: hot and humid year‑round with frequent rain. Expect higher temperatures and humidity during the inter‑monsoon months; bring rain protection during the Southwest and Northeast monsoon seasons.

Located in northwest Singapore near Kranji; nearest public transport access is Kranji MRT (North‑South Line) followed by a short bus/taxi ride. Limited parking is available at the reserve. Paths include boardwalks that are wheelchair‑friendly in sections, but some trails are uneven or muddy—wheelchair and stroller accessibility is partial. Facilities include a visitor centre and basic rest areas; bring water during longer visits.

Plan for 2–4 hours to enjoy main trails, hides and the visitor centre; half‑day or multiple visits recommended for serious birdwatchers (dawn or dusk sessions).

Light, breathable clothing; hat and sunscreen; insect repellent; waterproof footwear or shoes that can handle muddy boardwalks; binoculars and telephoto lens for birdwatching; refillable water bottle; lightweight rain jacket during rainy seasons.

There are limited food and retail options inside the reserve—pack snacks or plan to eat in nearby Kranji or the Sungei Buloh area after your visit. The visitor centre sometimes offers informational leaflets and small educational materials; local nature centres and bookstores in Singapore sell field guides, postcards and wildlife ID materials that make good souvenirs.
