Bali, a picturesque island in Indonesia, has been a popular destination for international tourists since the early 20th century. The island's enchanting culture, splendid temples, lush rice terraces, and vibrant arts scene have drawn visitors from around the globe. With its tropical climate and diverse marine life, Bali has also established itself as a hub for marine exploration and conservation.
The Bali Safari and Marine Park was established as a continuation of Bali's commitment to tourism, conservation, and education. Opening its doors in 2007, the park is relatively young compared to Bali's long-standing tradition as a tourist destination. It was created by the Taman Safari Indonesia Group, well-known for their contributions to wildlife conservation, research, and education in the country.
Since its inception, the park has been a strong addition to Bali's bustling tourism sector, offering a unique safari experience on the island. The park houses over 400 species of animals, many of which are endangered, including Komodo dragons, orangutans, and Bali myna birds. It has become a significant ecological and educational facility, hosting various interactive programs for visitors of all ages to engage with wildlife responsibly.
The Bali Safari and Marine Park is not only a tourist destination but also a haven for animal conservation. It actively participates in various breeding programs to help endangered species. The park offers educational tours and activities to raise awareness of wildlife conservation, contributing to Bali's reputation as a destination that cares for its natural heritage.
As tourism continues to evolve globally, Bali Safari and Marine Park have embraced the latest trends to enhance visitor experiences. Apart from traditional safari tours, the park has integrated technology-based attractions such as night safaris using special night-vision equipment. Environmental sustainability and eco-tourism have also become central to the park's operations, aligning with global trends toward responsible and ethical travel.
The park features a range of attractions such as the Safari Journey, Bali Agung Show, and Water Park. Visitors can also enjoy an upscale experience at the on-site accommodation, the Mara River Safari Lodge, which offers a unique opportunity to stay in close proximity to roaming wildlife. Culinary delights reflecting Indonesian and international cuisine are available throughout the park, ensuring diverse dining options for guests.
