Bali at one with the animal kingdom

Bali's other willing tourists who benefit from the Balinese serene caring culture


 

Villas in Seminyak - This article has been inspired by the many attractions that Bali has to offer, not least the Bali Safari and Marine park. I mention this facility as it is home to many endangered species; all of which are well protected and cared for at this Safari park. The Safari whilst bringing together the Balinese way of life; which as I have said in earlier articles is rich with serenity and calm. This serenity when combined with the African Savannah makes for a unique relaxed loving but an educational experience. 


The Safari provides a habitat that is all encompassing to the 50 or so species, all of which are available for visitors to see and appreciate. But, regardless of their excellent care, the Safari also provides, indeed the Safari feels that it is its duty to provide an educational experience and has developed a framework which has been devised to encourage us all to be at one with our environment, pointing out the need to protect our surroundings, instilling upon us the reality that we share our surroundings as it is home to so much that is beautiful about life. The key message that comes across is how we, mere mortals, impact the delicate bio diversity/balance which of course is causing many species, such as the wonderful leopard to become endangered, which as you know is just one animal, many creature even plants are at risk.


The Safari provides a framework for a first hand experience of working animals, such as the elephant. These majestic creatures move around the Savannah with such grace and are secure in their habitat. Of course you have the opportunity to ride these fabulous animals as they are of such a happy disposition.

For this article I have just touched on the good work that this Safari does for animals everywhere. But it should be noted that their key message is: The Safari has a duty to educate the Balinese in ways that make them responsible for their/our cause and effect on the habitats of these defenseless animals, plants etc.. In doing this the Safari has developed and are by now well used to executing an educational program that is devoid of its location. In other words the Safari will travel to places of learning in order that young students can begin to form their behavour's such that they are responsible and considerate to their surroundings.
One creature worthy of note, as it is a species that is unique to Indonesia; it is that of the Kimono dragon. here you will find them and you will be able to experience their inquisitive behavour, appreciate their abilities, one of which is the way in which they utilise their tongue to sample the air around them.

It is no wonder that the Bali Safari and Marine Park has been nominated to win the prestigious award for Indonesian travel and tourism
.

A must see for all visitors to the wonderful island of Bali.
