Bali Safari & Marine Park

it was a great sunny day of 2012, me & my colleagues   

Bird Venue

visited Bali Safari & Marine Park at Gianyar (about 45km

from Kuta). it was an hour by car through By Pass Ngurah Rai, it was quite crowded day too.

Bali Safari is the 3rd animal theme Park which owned by this company, the 1st and the 2nd are on Java. we heard that this Bali Safari Park is fully supported by the authorized local government, by leasing vast wide of land in Gianyar to the company.

soon while we arrived, the zebra pattern bus brought us through deep into the jungle and suddenly we were at the main lobby, Barong Lobby. 

we directly went to the Bird venue where lied just after this place. we saw some parrots, the famous Macaws (but I'm afraid they weren't able to speak, like we'd likely see in the movie). they weren't caged, but their domain's marked by the wooden fences (were completely unharmed).

Elephant Venue

we continued to the next venue, the Elephant venue. you can feed them, while the staffs built Elephant nests around here. and there also Elephant Ride, riding Elephants through the jungle. I counted there were 5 adults Elephants and 8 babies. if you follow the sign to the Elephant Show, you can see a collaboration act by the staffs & the Elephants. it's about of a human-elephants history. it explained reason why Elephant often quite aggressive nowadays.

this Theme Park offers us lots of animal shows, the 1st was Elephant, the 2nd was animal groups (eagles, otters, mouse, cat, dog and parrots).

Marine Park Aquarium

actually there were another show but it was held inside the Bali Agung Theater. they held an hour and a half duration show, there were some animals involved too.

as usual the tour is riding the zebra bus and take a round way while seeing the animals. the animals are separated by their orientation, is it a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore.

after you get this round way ride, you can choose some spots as riding the elephants, feeding the tiger or having a dinner with the lions in the Tsavo Lion Restaurant.

Kid's Playground

there's also a playground inside for kids. there are also high slide and pools in it (should be fun though). I didn't know if there was an extra cost to get in, cause it's designated for the kids. 

if you just too tired to try all those stuffs, you can just relax at the Tsavo Lion Restaurant and enjoy the sightseeings.
