Taman Safari Indonesia II in Prigen, Malang, is part of the Taman Safari Indonesia Group, which plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation and education in Indonesia. It is a continuation of the original Taman Safari located in Cisarua, Bogor, which opened its doors to the public in 1980 to promote wildlife conservation awareness through a safari park model, which was a relatively novel concept in Indonesia at the time.
The success of the Cisarua park led to the establishment of the second park, Taman Safari Indonesia II, in the early 1990s. This park was located on the slopes of Mount Arjuno, an area known for its breathtaking natural scenery, thus providing a beautiful backdrop for visitors experiencing the wildlife attractions.
As with the original Tapark, Taman Safari Indonesia II gained popularity quickly, thanks to its unique offering of experiencing wildlife in a more natural habitat rather than traditional zoo enclosures. The park allows visitors to drive through large enclosures where animals roam freely. This proximity to wildlife, coupled with the park’s conservation efforts, has made it a popular destination for both education and tourism.
With changing times, Taman Safari Indonesia II has also evolved to keep up with the latest trends in tourism. Some of the newest features and trends at the park include:
In conclusion, Taman Safari Indonesia II has not only contributed significantly to Indonesia's tourism history by being a pioneer in wildlife park experiences but continues to innovate and adapt to new tourism trends, ensuring it remains a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.
