Day Trip Option - Bali Safari Park

Hello again. We have another guest blogger today, my lovely aunty Lisa Cammaroto. Enjoy!

LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS Oh My!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the drama gene too….
The Bali Safari and Marine Park is a terrific day out for young and old. Beautiful gardens and lots of friendly faces with some really CLOSE animal experiences. 

Like most zoos there is a variety of old and new enclosures and it is a big area, in fact it’s a big day. With your entrance fee you get to choose a close up experience with either an orang-utan or a tiger. Both amazing and quite surreal. I can’t wait to watch my son see the piranha feeding  (10.30am each day).
Other close up experiences include handlers walking around with amazingly colourful birds, a 'birds of prey' show in an amphitheatre and for a few dollars you can buy food to feed the elephants. Elephant rides are available for a separate fee and can be arranged at the entrance. But it was the safari drive in a little camouflaged bus that was a fun photo opportunity and proved really entertaining.

There is also a water park for children so don’t forget the towels and maybe a change of clothes. There is the obligatory souvenir shop and over priced cafĂ© and most importantly CLEAN toilets!!
It can be a very busy place so we went early last time and plan to go early again. The trip is approximately 40 minutes from Seminyak.
Let me know if you enjoyed it as much I did. See you soon on the Island of the Gods
