For your Information,
Bali Adventure Tours and The Elephant Safari Park - Taro would like to inform all future visitors to Bali that the recent elephant attack in Bali was not at our elephant facility.
We have continually tried to make visiting tourists aware that the other two ‘elephant operations' in Bali are not ‘elephant parks', but are rather places where a handful of elephants are kept, with few facilities. We have also warned tourists on our website that unscrupulous ‘freelance' agents only take their guests to these ‘elephant places' because of higher commissions offered, not because they are good value or have proper facilities.
We would like to advise all tourists that the ‘Elephant Safari Park' is a world class facility, which has been built over nine years with a large investment. It has been classed as the 'best Elephant Park in the world' and proper precautions have been implemented to protect guests and to offer a safe and enjoyable day for them. The Park has numerous attractions such as a elephant museum, a 250 seat international class restaurant, a large elephant related gift shop and an arena. The Park is also a botanical gardens with one hectare of tropical gardens and orchids on display. There are 27 rescued elephants at the park, including two babies and talent shows are held at 12.15 pm and 3 pm daily in the arena. The park is open 7 days a week and is available either on package tours or by visiting directly in private transport. For further details phone 721480 or www.baliadventuretours.com
