Elephant Safari Park, Bali - Wanderela

In response to the tragedy of the native elephant population in Sumatra, where deforestation and poaching wiped out their population, Elephant Safari Park Bali was founded in 1997 and is nestled in the foggy hinterlands of Ubud. Six of the extremely endangered Sumatran elephants that live in this park were born at the elephant rescue facility. The park affords the big herd a cozy and secure habitat while allowing visitors the chance to learn about and interact with these gentle giants.

Within its four hectares, the park has been meticulously designed to reflect the elephants' natural habitat in Sumatra. The middle Bali area was chosen because of its cooler weather and thick flora, which helps to keep the elephants comfortable and cool in such a peaceful environment.

The "5 Freedoms of Animal Welfare," which include freedom from hunger and thirst, discomfort, pain, injury, or discomfort; freedom to speak; and freedom from distress and fear, are upheld at Elephant Safari Park. Since all training is based on patience, reward, and repetition, no harsh or cruel training techniques are used here. 

This resort's lovely botanical gardens, which are flanked by mountains and a rainforest, are home to 27 Sumatran elephants. Also discovered in the park is a mammoth skeleton that dates back more than 15,000 years, making it one of Southeast Asia's most uncommon sights. Over a thousand items are housed in a large museum in the park. In addition to a spa and a sizable collection of objects relating to elephants, the museum also features an information center with exhibitions and a brief pictorial history of elephants.
