Elephant Safari Park - Ubud, Bali

See, Touch, Feed, Ride an Elephant

  

For Indonesians and other Asians, elephants can be seen in almost any local zoo, so you don't have to go to Taro (it's 2-3 hours driving uphill from Kuta) to see them (although I admit, my family and I enjoyed visiting this Elephant Safari Park in Taro, Ubud) .
But for visitors from other part of the world where elephants can rarely found, this is a must-see attraction, and makes Bali a one-stop holiday destination that offers everything from beach, culture, and nature.

WAIT....what's so special about this elephant sanctuary?

Among several 'elephant parks' in Bali, this Elephant Safari Park in Taro - Ubud is the best, the closest to natural habitat of elephants and highly recommended for its neat, clean and well maintained surroundings, entertaining elephant attractions, and hotel facility (Elephant Safari Park Lodge). 

The Park

The area of Elephant Safari Park Ubud is about 3.5 hectares, and according to park's source they chose and grew plant species which are as close as possible to those found in the elephant's wild habitat. Elephants in this park originated form Sumatra, and thrive best in moist hills and forest, conditions perfectly matches with Taro.
