Five Reasons You Should Visit Bali Safari and Marine Park While in Bali
Have you always dreamed of taking a real safari, with lions so close to your car that you can almost touch them? You don’t need to go to Africa for this. You can enjoy this kind of unbelievable wild animal experience in Bali.
At Bali Safari and Marine Park, you can eat, sleep and play with hundreds of animals from Indonesia, Africa and India.
1. Dine with the lions

Go for dinner at Tsavo Lion Restaurant and see the lions eating just the other side of the glass. The restaurant serves up delicious meals, from western favourites such as Tasmanian salmon to Balinese dishes such as crispy duck leg.

2. Take a Day Safari Bus Trip

Experience the animals up close. Instead of walking around different enclosures to look in at the animals, take a trip right into their natural habitats. Alternatively, rent a private car so you can enjoy the experience in private.




3. Experience a Night Safari

Imagine this role reversal: you’re in the cage and your hungry, carnivorous predators are outside, drooling at you through the bars. On a night safari, you’ll get to experience this unique thrill. You’ll step onto a cage-bus equipped with snacks for the animals as it sets off into the dark jungle. This is the closest you can ever get to a tiger without becoming its next meal!
4. Watch an Animal Display

At Bali Safari and Marine Park, you can head to the show area, where you’ll see elephants, tigers and other animals display their talents. The show is not a circus, and the animals don’t do anything unnatural. It is educational. For example, you’ll learn more about the history of conflict between elephants and humans in Sumatra and gain understanding of the importance of saving the homes of these beautiful creatures.
Tip: study the show times before entering the park and plan you time accordingly. You can easily move zones in the park using the free shuttle.


When dawn breaks, you’ll hear lions roar and be greeted by the sound of birds singing on the roof of your hut. When you open your balcony doors, you’ll see zebra grazing peacefully outside. You can even toss a carrot or two across the balcony and watch them gallop towards you. As well as enjoying the amazing views of the wild, you can relax with a dip in the pool or a massage in the spa.5. Stay at the Mara River Safari Lodge
