OSRM routeBali Safari Park ticket prices and hours
Basic admission for foreign visitors starts at about IDR 650,000 (around USD 44); packages with lunch, shows, the night safari or animal encounters cost more. Booking online is often cheaper than at the gate. Official prices change, so check the park's website.
The park is usually open daily from around 9:00 to 17:00, with the night safari from 18:00 to 21:00. Allow 4–5 hours for a daytime visit.
The safari journey
The main event is the safari tour: an open-sided bus drives slowly through three zones — Indonesia, India and Africa. Animals come close to the vehicle, and a guide talks about each species. The ride takes about half an hour and is included in the basic ticket.
You can also explore on foot: there are bird and reptile enclosures, a Komodo dragon area, nocturnal animal houses and feeding spots. Residents include Komodo dragons, orangutans, Sumatran tigers, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos and the rare Bali starling.
Shows, water park and night safari
Through the day there are animal shows and theatrical performances; the schedule changes and is handed out at the entrance. For kids there's a small water park and rides — bring swimwear.
In the evening the park runs a night safari, a ride through the park in the dark when the predators are active; it's usually sold separately and includes dinner. The park also has its own hotel, Mara River Safari Lodge, with rooms overlooking the African enclosures.
About the park
Bali Safari Park (formerly Bali Safari & Marine Park) is a large wildlife park in Gianyar regency, on the coastal highway between Sanur and Klungkung. Its roughly 40 hectares hold animals of more than a hundred species from Indonesia, India and Africa.
It isn't a traditional cage zoo: many animals live in large enclosures that visitors tour by bus, which makes it one of the most popular family days out on Bali.
How to get to Bali Safari Park
The park is in Gianyar, on the Ida Bagus Mantra highway along the southeast coast: about 19 km from Ubud, 20 km from Sanur and 35 km from the airport. Many packages include hotel transfers from the south and Ubud.
On your own, take a ride-hailing taxi or a car with driver; there's a big car park. Bali Zoo (≈ 13 km) and Bali Bird Park (≈ 15 km) are nearby, but three animal parks in one day is too much.

Where are you starting from?
We’ll draw it on the map on foot and by taxi; metro and buses open in your maps app. Your location isn’t stored.
More tips
- Package with transfer — pickup from hotels in the south or Ubud.
- From Ubud — about 19 km, 30–40 minutes by taxi.
- From Sanur — about 20 km along the coastal highway.
- From the airport — about 35 km, around an hour.
Is Bali Safari Park worth it?
Yes, if you're travelling with kids or love animals: it's the island's biggest and most varied wildlife park, with Komodo dragons and African animals in a single day.
YesGo's take: tickets are expensive by Bali standards, and African and Indian animals aren't why people come to the island. Without kids and with limited time, spend the day on temples and nature instead.
