The island of the Gods, Bali is a kaleidoscope of landscapes including sandy beaches, rugged mountains, dense rain forest and even volcanic hillsides. One of the world’s most visited tourist hotspots, Bali offers everything; be it a unique culture, exciting adventure, tranquil nature or ancient history, whatever your cup of tea, you’ve got it in this island.
Opened in 2000, the Bali Elephant Safari Park is amongst its top attractions. Located in the ancient village of Taro, the park has been rated as one of the best in the world. A park that spans across two hectares or more, it is surrounded by a natural forest, thereby providing elephants with a more innate environment. A visit to the park gives you an opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures, having a bath in the lake, ambling around letting you touch and feed them or sometimes even paint. Giving the elephants a bath is fun, being splashed and splashing creature so big somehow lets out the inner child in you. Visitors can also opt to be picked by elephant taxi for dinner.
The park’s museum and information centre as well as the historic display lets you know all there is to know about elephants. The restaurant overlooking the lake is the perfect setting to enjoy a family picnic or even a quiet date. The gift shop gives you perfect memorabilia to take back home, including paintings by the elephants, ivory carvings jewellery and clothing items.
Finding accommodation in Bali is as good as doing so in your own country. It is an understatement to say that there are countless Bali hotels. All you’ve got to do is pick a Bali hotel that best fits your budget, taste and requirements. Depending on places you would like to visit you can either settle on a hotel that is conveniently located or opt to travel to different accommodations. If you are choosing the first option then Anantara Seminyak Bali is the perfect choice. Being a beach front property is an added benefit as you get to enjoy the warm sand and blue waters just a hop, skip and a jump away from your aboard.
