In Reply to: JBR Pt. 3...Mara Safari Park... posted by Stavros on Wednesday, 28. July 2010 at 08:47 Bali Time:
Its good to have JBR's to keep us infrequent travellers up to date. When we went to Safari Park in Jan 08 you only had to pay for your food. All waterplayground facilities were free to just wander in and use and kids had 3 free rides on carosels that were there. I read now that there is a much bigger "rides/amusements" area and hope that the Marine side will be operating when we finally save for our kids return visit. I guesss the downside I am reading is that it all now costs a heap more. Even the gift shop was incredibly cheap.
The kids love to see other peoples photos on various webshot links of the tigers as when we went the baby tiger was only 6 weeks old and he crawled all over us, was cuddled by 7 of us for over an hour (not at all drugged!!) and fell asleep under my then 8yr olds t-shirt... the same animal is now HUGE!! Thats Bali for you... lots of fun times and great memories!!
