Beautiful view of The Amazing Taman Safari Bali

On the lush slopes of Bali, where rice fields fall away to gentle hills and distant volcanoes brooding on the horizon, Taman Safari Bali beckons with an adventure like no other. Half-wild, half-imaginary, this enormous wildlife park isn’t just about animals—it’s a daylong journey through Indonesia’s diverse habitats, with just enough magic to surprise both children and jaded adults. Past stone gates and towering fountains, elephants, tigers, local legends, and immersive performances blend into a family-friendly spectacle crafted with care for both conservation and culture.

Planning your visit

Careful planning helps visitors get the most from a day at Taman Safari Bali. Located in Gianyar, it’s far enough from Bali’s big beaches to escape the biggest crowds, yet close enough for a day trip. Tickets often sell fast, especially during the dry season and on school holidays, so booking online a week or more ahead is wise. Mornings offer milder weather and see animal residents more active; afternoons can get warm, but also quieter by late day. Roads are decent, though traffic around Ubud and Denpasar sometimes crawls—build in extra time for the trip, especially on weekends.

  • Best time to visit: Early morning, April through October for cooler air and lively animals
  • How to get there: By taxi, private driver, or local tour shuttle—about an hour from central Ubud or Sanur
  • Accessibility: Stroller- and wheelchair-friendly paths; shaded rest stops for families and seniors
  • Average visit duration: 5–7 hours, including shows and lunch

Must see stuff

Taman Safari Bali’s many themed zones deliver more than basic animal encounters. Swings from lush rainforest corners to open African plains, letting visitors ride, wander, and marvel. The safari bus—safe, breezy, and a highlight for younger kids—winds past zebras, giraffes, and sometimes-restless lions, free-roaming just outside the glass. On foot, the Bali Agung Show surprises with dancers, music, and myths brought to life in an amphitheater beside a working temple. Other areas encourage quiet exploration: sulky Komodo dragons bask in the Reptile House, while Bali’s sacred white starlings flit amid aviary branches.

  • Main Park Safari Journey: Board a safari tram to get close to elephants, tigers, hippos, and rare birds in habitats mirroring the wild
  • Bali Agung Show: A dramatic musical retelling of Bali’s royal history with elaborate costumes and live animals on stage
  • Night Safari: A special tour where nocturnal animals roam and you can hand-feed zebras by torchlight
  • Rainforest Trail and Aviary: Walk shaded paths to spot rare Indonesian species, with photo stops under lush foliage and near the big waterfall
  • Komodo Island Exhibit: Home to giant lizards rarely seen up close elsewhere in the world
  • Sacred Temple: An active place of worship inside the park—pairs wildlife with a taste of Balinese customs

Tips for your visit

Lining up early helps avoid the biggest lines—especially at the tram station and the popular animal encounter zones. Decent walking shoes are a must, as paths can be slippery near the water features. While outside snacks aren’t allowed, safe drinking water is easy to find, and the shaded food court features both Indonesian classics and Western favorites. Public displays of affection aren’t common in Balinese culture, and respectful dress is needed near the park’s temple, which locals use daily. Occasionally, crowds slow movement between areas; patience and a midday siesta in a shaded corner keep complaints to a minimum.

  • Best times to avoid crowds: Arrive right at opening or after 3 PM for shorter lines
  • What to bring: Hat, refillable water bottle, light rain jacket, sunscreen, and a camera with plenty of battery
  • Local etiquette: Avoid loud voices near animal enclosures and remove hats or sunglasses when near the temple
  • Safety tips: Watch children around the open areas and don’t try to feed animals outside of guided sessions
  • Comfort advice: Take breaks in the air-conditioned Discovery Center to escape the midday heat
