Exploring the Wild: A Day at Bali Safari and Marine Park

If you're planning a trip to Bali and looking for an experience that goes beyond beaches and temples, Bali Safari and Marine Park offers a wild adventure that’s perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

What is Bali Safari and Marine Park?

Located in Gianyar, just an hour from Denpasar or Ubud, Bali Safari and Marine Park is one of Indonesia’s largest and most visited animal parks. It's home to over 100 species, including some of the world’s rarest and most endangered animals like the Komodo dragon, Sumatran tiger, and orangutan.

But this isn’t your average zoo. The park offers immersive, safari-style experiences where you can see animals in habitats that mimic their natural environments — and in some cases, get closer than you ever imagined.

Safari Experiences

One of the highlights of visiting the park is the Safari Journey. You hop onto a specially designed safari tram that takes you through different wildlife zones representing Africa, India, and Indonesia. You'll pass by zebras, lions, hippos, rhinos, and more — all from the safety and comfort of your vehicle.

If you’re feeling adventurous, the 4x4 Jeep Safari offers a more exclusive, off-road adventure with a personal guide.

Animal Encounters & Shows

Want to feed a tiger or bathe an elephant? Bali Safari makes that possible with up-close animal encounters. There are also daily educational shows like:

• Harimau Show – Learn about the endangered Sumatran tiger.

• Elephant Safari Show – Discover how elephants were used in Balinese culture.

• Animal Presentation – A fun, family-friendly showcase of exotic birds, reptiles, and mammals.

Stay at the Mara River Safari Lodge

For the ultimate wildlife experience, spend a night at the Mara River Safari Lodge, a luxury safari-themed hotel within the park. Wake up to zebras grazing outside your window or enjoy breakfast while watching rhinos and wildebeests roam just beyond the glass.

Dining & More

You’ll find several eateries in the park, but Tsavo Lion Restaurant stands out. It’s Bali’s first African-themed restaurant where you can dine with a view of lions through a full-length glass panel.

There’s also a water park, Fun Zone rides, and cultural performances like the Bali Agung Show, a spectacular stage production that blends traditional Balinese dance with modern theatre.

Tickets & Tips

• Standard tickets start around IDR 500,000 (~USD 30-35).

• Combo packages offer better value if you want to include meals, shows, or animal encounters.

• Best time to visit: Weekdays in the morning to avoid crowds and catch animal feeding times.

• Wear comfy clothes and bring sunscreen and water — Bali can be hot and humid.
