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. > **Tips for your visit** Arrive at opening time: animals are more active in the morning and queues for the safari are shorter. Pick up the show schedule at the gate and plan around it. With kids, bring swimwear for the water park, hats and water. ## 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. ## How to get to Bali Safari Park from Ubud and Sanur 1. **Package with transfer** — pickup from hotels in the south or Ubud. 2. **From Ubud** — about 19 km, 30–40 minutes by taxi. 3. **From Sanur** — about 20 km along the coastal highway. 4. **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. ## Bali parks and attractions Parks, zoos and family attractions on Bali rated by YesGo. - [Ubud Monkey Forest](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/ubud-monkey-forest) — YesGo score 36/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 15 min · IDR 130,000 - [Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/garuda-wisnu-kencana) — YesGo score 32/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 2 h 30 min · ≈ IDR 125,000–150,000 - [Taman Ayun Temple](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/taman-ayun) — YesGo score 26/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · ≈ IDR 30,000–50,000 - [Bajra Sandhi Monument](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/bajra-sandhi) — YesGo score 24/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · ≈ IDR 30,000 - [Tirta Gangga Water Palace](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/tirta-gangga) — YesGo score 24/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · ≈ IDR 50,000 - [Ulun Danu Beratan Temple](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/ulun-danu-bratan) — YesGo score 23/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 15 min · IDR 100,000 - [Taman Ujung Water Palace](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/taman-ujung) — YesGo score 23/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 15 min · ≈ IDR 50,000 - [Bali Zoo](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/bali-zoo) — YesGo score 22/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 3 h · ≈ IDR 350,000–400,000 - [Bali Bird Park](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/bali-bird-park) — YesGo score 22/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 2 h 30 min · ≈ IDR 385,000 - [West Bali National Park](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/west-bali-national-park) — YesGo score 16/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 4 h · ≈ IDR 200,000 + guide - [Bali Safari Park](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/bali-safari-park) — YesGo score 15/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 5 h · From ≈ IDR 650,000 ## A day with kids Bali Safari Park in the morning, Bali Bird Park in the afternoon.
