Wildlife Attractions

Wildlife Attractions

Visit humane retirement homes for elephants, where the animals are well-cared for instead of forced to give rides. Indonesia’s forests bristle with the activity of busy monkeys, which you can also see in urban sanctuaries like Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest. West Bali National Park also protects reefs and Menjangan Island, home to Bali's famous beach-loving deer.

The best places to visit in Wildlife Attractions

Elephant Safari Park

Elephant Safari Park

This combination animal attraction and luxury resort is home to 31 endangered Asian elephants that have been rescued from deforestation in their native Sumatra. The park covers 5 acres (2 ha) of eco-landscaped gardens and is surrounded by national forest in the village of Taro in Gianyar Regency, 11 miles (17.5 km) north of Ubud or 1.5 hours north of Denpasar. It’s a member of the World Zoo Association, meets international standards for animal care, and was awarded “Best Environmentally Friendly Tourist Attraction” in Indonesia in 2010. The property also includes a museum and restaurant.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

A unique combination of nature preserve, wild animal park, and Hindu temple complex, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary has much more than monkey business going on. This 31-acre (12.5 ha) park in central Ubud is home to more than 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys, three ancient temples, and swarms of tourists hoping for that elusive monkey selfie. Located in the lush forest area at the end of Jalan Monkey Forest Road, the Padangtegal Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is considered an important spiritual and educational center.

Bali Bird Park

Bali Bird Park
