If you’re going to be in Bali and you’re looking for a fun time and the opportunity to see unique and exciting animals while in a safe and secure environment, then the Bali Safari and Marine Park is the place for you. Providing far more than a zoo, you’ll get the chance to see animals in their natural environment all while learning fascinating facts about them. You can get up close and personal with the safari animals, take in some great entertainment, visit a water park, see an aquarium, and enjoy a good meal – all in one place!

Safari Journey

Perhaps the highlight of the whole place, the Safari gives visitors the opportunity to see animals out on the open range from the safety of a safari tram. An expert guide accompanies you as you travel through the safari and see a variety of animals, including elephants, hippos, lions, tigers, and much more. If you really want to interact with the animals, there are also opportunities to ride an elephant, pony, or camel that you can book as part of a package for discounted Bali holiday deals. You can also attend a number of different animal shows or educational talks about the animals in the park.
