A pleasantly disorientating feeling takes over as you step into the Bali Safari & Marine Park. You would begin to question; am I in Africa, Indonesia or India? The experiences are varied, yet it all takes place in Bali, Indonesia. Sixty species of exotic animals hover around in protected areas. Traverse and explore the park by arranging for a daytime or night-time safari. Immerse yourself in Balinese culture by watching, interpreting and learning Balinese dance. Partake in a meal while you are being watched by lions at the famous Tsavo Lion Restaurant. All these fabulous experiences are around a forty minute drive from Alila Manggis, a well placed boutique hotel in Bali. It’s time to step into a whole new world!
Choose to explore the park either during daytime or when darkness sets in. Whatever time of day you choose, the experience is sure to be exceptional. Get comfortable in your safari bus and pull out your list of wildlife-related questions. Your guide possesses a wealth of knowledge. You are sure to leave the park enlightened about the behaviour of the animals.
Lions, zebras, rhinos, elephants, orang-utans and even komodo dragons are among the few animals you would spot on your visit. If you prefer surprise animal encounters, you could ride on the back of an elephant. Nothing would seem more peaceful than a leisurely elephant-back ride.
Ever imagined dining with a lion? At Tsavo Lion, a restaurant located within the park this is more than a reality. The lions at the park have got accustomed to the presence of humans, and you would be certainly considered a welcome presence.
The park offers an unending list of distractions, from learning Balinese dance to going on thrilling rollercoaster rides. You also cannot dismiss the marine park as it is part and parcel of the experiences at this site.
The Bali Safari & Marine Park is definitely a place you would not tire of visiting.
