The Bali Safari Park

The beautiful island of Bali is one of the most renowned tourist destinations in the world and has a lot to offer. Not many would expect the island to have an extraordinary zoological park.

The Park

The Bali Safari Park is one of the best ways to witness exotic animals in the region, and is definitely not a zoo in the conventional sense where the animals are caged. It is truly a safari experience, and if you’re staying at a boutique hotel in Bali situated nearby, such as Alila Manggis, then you should visit this place.

Facilities

One of the most fascinating aspects about the park is that the animals roam free, and visitors get to travel around the park’s expanse in purpose-built buses or even on elephant-back. The park also features a water-park, a fun-zone, and a breath-taking Bali theatre.

Ganesha Park

This interesting aspect of the park acts as a gateway of sorts leading to the Bali Theatre. The park’s most distinctive aspect is a massive thirty-foot tall statue of Ganesha, one of the most respected and sacred deities in Hinduism.

Pura Safari

Since the island of Bali is home to the Hindu population of Indonesia, the religion’s presence is strong throughout the island. Pura Safari is a temple situated within the park for religious worship.
