Have you ever come to the zoo? Sounds like children, but it's one of the best entertainment for me. You can also enjoy another entertainment like watching Elephant's show, Tiger's show, elephant ride, take a picture with some animals like orang utan and tiger, and they also have a big playground (sometime they have House of Ghost and Jet Coaster too!). I've been to Cisarua's Safari, it's a big zoo. Last holiday I went to Bali safari. Bali Safari isn't too big, but I still love it.
What happened with me at the zoo? I pay the ticket around @Rp. 100.000 I think. I bought 2 for me and my sister. They put a green paper ticket on our wrist. After that we have to wait the minibus (around 5 minutes) which took us to the central of the zoo.
We arrived at lobby Barong. We walked straight and there were some shops, food stalls, a temple, a big elephant statue, etc. I immediately bought a ticket for a photo with a white tiger! :)
But I have to wait around an hour, because the tiger had to take a rest and had a meal. So sad.. So, me and my sister just walked from that animal to that animal happily. We bought a slushy and sat around a pond. Almost an hour we enjoyed the zoo. We went back to Rhantambore (the place of White tiger and take a photo with it) and found that people already queued (all of them are foreigners, only me and my sister are Indonesian).
While I was waiting to see the snake in the aquarium next to me. Suddenly people in front of me closed their nose. What happened? uh-ohh..the tiger had just fart when somone wanted to take a photo with him. Haha! An old woman in front of me said to her daughter holding her baby, " It seems you do not have to touch the tiger, because he is very smelly and dangerous. "
No way ma'am! I just so excited! woohhooo! That was I said in my mind to the old woman in front of me. Then it was my turn.. I told my sister to take the picture. She took it under the stage.Click!
The tiger handler told her to take a picture in front of the tiger. Click! Click! "yeah.. it's done"
I came down from the stage and looked at the picture. Arghh!! The pictures are blurrrr! Very good my Rp. 50.000 is gone... sigh..
Well, This triggered me to be able to come to any other safari (Singapore maybe :) ) But Cisarua is okay, I love Cisarua Safari :) they have a house of ghost. heheh...
After that we got a park tour with a Safari minibus(I don't know how to call the transportation). We entered that green jungle, we saw those animals (crocodile, deer, zebra, lion, leopard, hippopotamus, kind of birds, orang utan, etc), perfect with the effect of feeling tense, etc. You can also eat at Tsavo Restaurant. You can see lions at close range while you eat your dinner maybe. Pretend you were in Africa. Well, we didn't go to the restaurant even we really want it. First, I didn't know the price, I still have so many days in Bali, I couldn't spend all of my money. Second, We had another plan to have a lunch, we didn't want to disappoint our cousin who had set the schedule. Third.. We looked like a lost children (We are small, baby face, Indonesian children go to the zoo alone, what do you think?) After the tour..we walked to the marine park. we saw piranha, shark, etc. And we bought a Safari shirt.
By the way, when we were on the minibus of safari journey..we sat next to a US couple in the rear seat. Their faces are Asian. In the middle of the trip, a young woman which is the guide of the tour asked me and my sister if we are Indonesian or not because she had explained everything in English and she was sorry for that. We looked each other, and ready to answer that it is okay and we will understand everything, but the US-woman-but-Asian-face answer that they (which mean she and her boyfriends )came from US, but the guide thought me and my sister too.. Well, at least I don't have to explain things to the guide :p
