Taman Safari Indonesia, Safari wildlife park in Prigen, Indonesia
Taman Safari Indonesia is a safari park in Cisarua, Bogor Regency, on the Puncak road between Jakarta and Bandung. It covers 170 hectares on the slope of Mount Gede–Pangrango and holds more than 3,000 animals, including Bengal tigers, Malayan sun bears, giraffes, orangutans, hippos, zebras and Sumatran elephants. Visitors drive through the animal enclosures in their own car or a park bus.
The park began in 1980 on unused plantation land and received official recognition as a National Tourism Object from the Indonesian Minister of Tourism in 1990. Expansions over the decades brought new habitats and animal species from around the world.
The park stages nine daily shows, among them the Elephant Show, Tiger Show, Sea Lion Show, Bird of Prey Show, Dolphin Show, Cowboy Show and the Globe of Death. The Safari Theater and open stages also host traditional arts and magic acts. On weeknights and holiday nights, guides lead a Safari Journey by road train, ending with the Spectacular Light Dance and its fire performances.
Visitors can explore the grounds via personal vehicles or join guided bus tours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with options for daytime safari and night safari experiences. The best time for animal watching is early morning when many species are more active.
