Bali Safari and Marine Park - Bali Day 3 - "14 August 2012"

From Kuta to Bali Safari and Marine Park (Opening Hours: 9am to 5pm) , we need around 45minute - lil bit traffic cause there was Police Inspection.

Weather was great. Cool and fresh, with brightly sun. (Honestly, I like Indonesia - Bali weather compare to the singapore :p)

Ticket:
The Officer was helpful on explaining for the Ticket Admission, and you don't need to queue for a long time.

For domestic, there was 2 prices:
135.000 IDR - for Safari
250.000 - for Safari and Bali Agung Show (theater)

Inside the area, there was a photo area with animal - where you need to pay 50IDR - taken with your own camera.

During our visit there was BCA promotion (20%) and Mandiri promotion (Buy one get one free - 250.000 IDR - free one time for taking picture with animal, free to Fun Zone and Water Splash). We took the last one, as we only need to brought 3 tickets.

We should took a ride

Yellow Team ^^

The Show Time:

Animal show Show time started at 11.00am:
I love this. The bird flying, dog-cat-marmot-running, orangutan. Love love it. Be there before the time, as we hardly find a space on the chair. Me then sit on the floor, while good Josh got a place in the front ^^/. Josh was amazed by the show, his eyes stop to blink I guess.

Josh pay full attention ^^

Heading to Kampung Gajah

Elephant show, Start at 11.45am:

I like the idea - about Elephant conservation and how the impact because conflict between Elephant and Human with local touches.

Funny part: when the elephant swim - thinks the elephant was fart out and the pup floating at the pool.
And there was show about people who sinking near the pup and need to be save by elephant.

See the Elephant pup while swimming LOL

So serious during the show.

You can took a picture with Elephant after the show time. Just line up.

Relax after the show.

I must say: Josh enjoyed the show when he got bigger.
Much more than the last year when we visit Singapore zoo when he just 14 months old.

Lunch Time:
Coming to Lunch time, there were few restaurant to choose.

Considering the price and variety menu to choose, We then decided to ate at the UMA Restaurant near the FunZone and Water Splash area.
1 Meal (not include drink) can cost you around IDR40.000 and up (4USD).

Just walk straightly to UMA restaurant

Inside the Restaurant

The lamp.

Safari Car:
As we walked to the Safari Car area, Josh who sitting on the stoller almost fall asleep. A wind blowing, the sound from the nature, we walked without talking much, make the situation exactly for relax.
But, when he almost closed his eyes, the Safari car coming, as I didn't want to separate with my family, I took Josh with us.
On the middle of the ride, I guess till Lion cage, he slept.
And he keep sleeping when we finished the ride.

I love the lady officer's voice. Wow, such a calm and nice voice when she explained about the animal during the ride. Ok, she is beautiful also ^^.

Animal Ride:
You could have an Animal Ride - for Elephant and Camel (not included in our ticket, so mom just doing some pose for me ^^).

Bale Bengong:
We have a rest in the Bale Bengong. Ohh we also saw a group of peoples (might in the tour), having their lunch together.

Josh: What did you eat? 

White Tiger

Playing Time: Fun Zone and Water Park Area
Since Josh still sleeping, we headed to the Fun zone.
We ride: Spinning Coaster, Flume Ride and Bumper Car (My mom follow us too hahaha, only Daddy who didn't interested of the game.
Except the Bumper Car, we scream out for the two other ride. Yups, kinda relieve from tension.

Once Josh awake, we headed to Water Park area. Played around 30minutes and then we being told that the Safari will be close soon.

Some tips (as I can remember) when you visit Bali Safari and Marine Park
- Come as earlier as you can (if you visit on Saturday or Sunday, there might be Elephant Parade). So you can enjoy the surrounding first and took a nice picture?! ^^
- Don't miss the show which start at 11am
- Bring
   a. spare cloth for playing in the Funzone and Water Park
   b. camera.
   c. enough water (even you could buy it, but price will be more expensive)
   d. a small snack (especially you bring toddler, a milk, bread, really help).
   e. a Stroller for sure if lil one get sleepy (or you can rent it inside for IDR 100.000)
Have fun! ^^

lot of water spray

The story behind the picture. Mom brought the Tiger hat (IDR 90.000) and We asked Josh to took a picture with the Tiger, then he was confuse for the first time, and starting to smile.. but couple of second, he suddenly pull down his pant, want to pee.. ^^/ hahaha.. love to see the act of children.

 TIME to Say Goodbye! Kiss kiss.

P.S. Bali Safari has claim to be one of the best toilet for amusement park in Indonesia ^^/
If you went there, just take a look at the toilet entrance, there was a board mention about it. ( I forgot to took the picture) So, how you think?
