The wildlife conservation is located in Cibeureum village, Cisarua. Taman Safari Foundation owns the land in Taman Safari, which is also the management of the tourism object. Facilities in Taman Safari are bus, artificial lake, water cycling, canoe, swimming pool, mini train to see African style village, Bird Park, go cart, children playground, windmill, circus, merry-go-round etc.
Animals from all continents roam freely in this 35-hectare park, 75-km southeast of Jakarta along the Jakarta-Bandung route. Among the animals kept here are some comparatively rare species such as anoas, rhinos, giraffes, white tigers and European, American and Asian bears. Adjacent to the park is recreational grounds with a swimming pool, tennis courts, an artificial lake, waterfall and children's playground and amusement park. There are also restaurants and cafeterias.
Taman safari is a drive through zoo and amusement park and is open every day. On the way from Bandung to Taman Safari we have to pass Puncak, do not try to do this on Sunday or public holiday because we can end up in a big traffic jam, because Puncak is a very popular spot for people from Jakarta. Normally, it take 3,5 hours from Bandung to get to Taman Safari.
The Taman Safari Indonesia is located just outside the city of Bogor some 80 Km from Jakarta. There is another Taman Safari called the original name of 'Taman Safari Indonesia II' located in the South of the country nearer to Surabaya.
The Bogor Taman Safari Indonesia is located half way up a mountain not far from Cisarua. It is a big collection set in a tropical forest and covers some 168 hectares. It is open from 08.30 - 16.30 every day. In view of distances involved as well as time to enjoy your visit it is highly advisable that you stay at one of the hotels in the area for a couple of nights. They also have a 'Night Safari' which you could take advantage of.
Taman Safari is one of the most memorable attractions Indonesia has to offer. You take your personal vehicle through the zoo and animals of all types walk up to your car. My suggestion is to stop before arriving to the safari to buy carrots and bannanas that they sell on the road to feed the animals from the car. All the animals will eat out of your hands, from elephants to lama's. Animals are unpredictable so every visit will be different. Expect to get a bit dirty through all the feeding and petting. Another suggestion is to bring your own toilet paper! Overall this visit was different then any other zoo I have seen in the world.
