Bali #5, Bali Zoo Park, Gianyar

Last destination today is Bali Zoo Park, just to accommodate our kid’s request, still in Ubud area, the exact location is in Banjar Seseh Apuan, Sukawati, and Gianyar. It is a small zoo but very well maintained and has quality collections, such as Bengali Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), Black Panther, Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekeii), African Camel and lot more. There is about 350 species there in 3.5 ha very well maintained area.




The place it self remind me to the combined between Baby Zoo in “Taman Safari Indonesia – Cisarua” and Singapore Night Safari in Bukit Timah Reservoir, but off course in smaller size. You’ll be walking’ through the ‘jungle’ like with scatter animal cages and a medium size aviary.

Aviary is the interesting place you’ll see the true White Peacock, I don’t ever know that there is kind of bird, since the day I met this beautiful bird. But then, it is a reality, and I found some reference of this bird on the net.



This is a private owned zoo and in my opinion this zoo is an asset for the local government, but then they have to compete with “Taman Safari Indonesia” that just open nearby, also in Gianyar area. I personaly doubt that this zoo may survive if they are not forming a alliances with other foreign zoo or make a differential attraction to attract people.
