Tng Di Kai started Chai Chee Safari in 2022 after years of building planted tanks and vivariums at home. He’s someone who genuinely enjoys working with his hands and figuring things out—especially when it comes to nature. What began as a personal hobby soon caught the attention of friends and clients who wanted their own custom setups. Through Chai Chee Safari, Di Kai creates nature displays that are not just beautiful, but practical and easy to live with. His work now includes everything from home installations to hotel features and workshops. He also runs community sessions for schools and families, focusing on hands-on learning and sustainable practices. It’s all about making nature feel close, real, and part of everyday life.
