About

Taman Safari Bali offers an unforgettable wildlife adventure where families can get up close with exotic animals from around the world. Kids will be thrilled by the safari tram rides through open habitats where animals roam freely, plus there's a marine park, entertaining animal shows, and hands-on feeding experiences that make learning about wildlife exciting and interactive.

  • Animal feeding experiences with giraffes, elephants, and other gentle creatures
  • Live animal shows featuring trained birds, elephants, and other performers
  • Marine park with sea lions and aquatic animal exhibits

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive right at opening (9:00 AM) to avoid the heat and crowds, and book tickets online in advance for faster entry and potential discounts.
  2. 2.Bring Indonesian Rupiah in small bills for animal feeding experiences throughout the park, as these aren't always included in admission and vendors may not have change.
  3. 3.Download a translation app or bring a phrasebook, as some staff have limited English. The main shows and signage are partially in English.
  4. 4.Pack sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water. The daytime safari can be hot and humid, though the evening session (6:00-9:00 PM) offers cooler temperatures and a different atmosphere.
  5. 5.Don't miss the baby animal nursery area where kids can often see and interact with young animals being cared for by keepers.

Best Time to Visit

Visit during the dry season (April to October) for the best weather, ideally on weekdays to avoid local crowds. The evening safari session (6:00-9:00 PM) is perfect for avoiding the midday heat and offers a unique nighttime animal viewing experience that kids find magical.

What to Know

The park accepts both cash (Indonesian Rupiah) and major credit cards. Food is available on-site but options may be limited for picky eaters, so consider bringing familiar snacks. The safari tram is stroller-friendly, though paths between attractions may be uneven in places.

Seasonal Notes

The rainy season (November to March) can bring afternoon downpours that may affect outdoor activities, though animals are often more active in cooler weather. The park operates year-round but check ahead during major Indonesian holidays like Nyepi (Balinese New Year) when it may have adjusted hours.
