A black hole is superentropic if it violates the reverse isoperimetric inequality. Recently, some studies have indicated that some four dimensional superentropic black holes have the null hypersurface caustics (NHC) outside their event horizons. In this paper, we extend to explore whether or not the NHC exists in the cases of high dimensional superentropic black holes. We consider the singly rotating Kerr-AdS superentropic black holes in arbitrary dimensions and the singly rotating charged superentropic black hole in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity, and find that the NHC exists outside the event horizons for these superentropic black holes. Furthermore, the spacetime dimensions and other parameters of black hole, such as the electric charge, have important impact on the NHC inside the horizon. Our results indicate that when the superentropic black hole has the Cauchy horizon, the NHC will also exist inside the Cauchy horizon.
