Indonesia - Taman Safari




Jakarta, Indonesia
December 12, 2008


Taman Safari is around 2-3 hours by car from the city of Jakarta. It's a very large and impressive complex. You really do need a car to get around the place.

There's the safari section where you can drive your own car, roll down your windows and feed the animals. There are lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, hippos, monkeys and lots of other animals in this area. After the safari car tour, there are still lots of areas to visit. There's the baby petting area, where you can pay the equivalent of 50 pesos to have a photo op with some sedated wild animals. There's an aviary, a reptile area which features some crocs, snakes, and komodo dragons, an elephant riding area, a penguins section, monkeys-swinging-around section, etc. There's also a cowboy-and-indians live show (in Bahasa Indonesia) that you shouldn't miss..

Best for: kids, and wide-eyed adults who think like kids.
