About Chai Chee Safari

Chai Chee Safari is led by founder Di Kai, whose background in art, design and botany shapes every build. Each project is designed and built in-house by our small studio team — we don't outsource the craft.

We build the way nature works: balanced, considered, and made to live for years, not weeks. Smart automation handles the hard parts so you can enjoy nature without the chore of constant maintenance.

CCS did a great job designing my paludarium. They were attentive to details and executed our ideas perfectly. The end result is a stunning feature in my living room.

My boys and I recently attended the crab nano paludarium workshop at Chai Chee Safari, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience!… What really stood out was the excellent aftersales support.

A wonderful experience with Edwin, our instructor. He is very knowledgeable… open to share all knowledge, to build and maintain the terrarium we build. We were super satisfied with ours… We will definitely be back to do more, and bring more friends.
