Bali Safari Star

For the first time since its official opening by the Minister of Tourism in the year 2000, the Park will exclusively open to the public at night for the thrilling new adventure, launching yet another world first for Bali's pioneering adventure tour company, Bali Adventure Tours. Park owner and operator Nigel Mason, who especially carved out and designed the night trail to offer a different course than the Elephant Safari Parks' day-time rides, says he did so to make a completely new enchanted elephant experience which visitors to Bali have never before experienced. "The Park transforms at night into a truly magical setting providing an ambience that is incredibly exotic and romantic. 'Safari Under the Stars' really adds another dimension to the Park and adventure tours that has never been seen or done before. We are proud to be the first to deliver such a world-class unique experience to Bali. We have enhanced many of our Park facilities for 'Safari Under the Stars', including special lighting throughout the Parklands and surrounding national forest to heighten the experience and captivate our guests. We have also transplanted numerous large trees and added stone statues that are subtlety lit up at night", adds Nigel.

Guests who book Safari Under the Stars will enjoy meeting petting and hand feeding the elephants upon arrival as well as exploring the Parks' acclaimed Elephant Museum, Information Gallery and botanical parklands. A pre-dinner Elephant Talent Show with dazzling lighting and special effects is performed at the Discovery Show Arena each evening at 6.45pm before guests embark on a moonlit night safari through Taro forest and the Park. After the night safari, guests are seated to a special four-course dinner prepared by the Parks' executive chef in the newly designed Pachyderm Palm Grove. The outdoor dining venue located beside the elephants' bathing lake provides a mesmerizing setting to observe the grazing giants at rest on their elephant pads. 'Safari Under the Stars… an Evening with the Elephants' is available nightly by advance bookings only. Price includes Park Entrance, Elephant Talent Show, Night Safari and four-course Dinner plus air-conditioned return transfers and insurance. US$99 Adult, $69 Child, $27 Infant, $302 Family. Reservations can be made through Bali Adventure Tours or directly to the Elephant Safari Park & Lodge, Taro on 0361 721 480. A trip to Taro to the lodge is a thoroughly memorable and highly unique Bali experience not to be missed!
