Bali Elephant Safari Park Gets New Baby Elephant

In Taro, Bali you will find The Elephant Safari Park & Lodge. It’s been an exciting time there because they have just welcomed a baby elephant to their herd. To date the Elephant Safari Park has a herd of 27 rescued elephants, and since 2009, they have been lucky enough to have three babies born in the park. The birth of this baby elephant brings their total Sumatran elephant count to 31 pachyderms. And that’s very exciting for this world famous park.

The baby elephant was born at dawn so the morning at the safari park started off with a buzz. Even excited guests that were staying at the Elephant Safari Park Lodge were lucky enough to be able to get a close up view of the baby’s birth. Now that’s what memories are made of. These guests won’t soon forget their experiences.

The baby elephant was a girl and she was given the Indonesian name of Fajar, which translates to Dawn. The birth was actually quite easy for the elephant’s mother, which was quite surprising for a first time mother. With a loud cry, the mother elephant greeted her baby, after a 22 ½ month gestation. After just one hour, the baby elephant was on her feet, and that was exciting for all the onlookers. This was truly a magical experience.

The baby elephant and the mother elephant can be seen daily at the Elephant Safari Park & Lodge in its open enclosure. You can sit and watch the elephants or you can see them as you pass by on one of the elephant rides.

Bali Government Establishes a Bali Tourism Promotion Board

March 9, 2013November 22, 2018 evgnet Bali Tourism

There’s no question that Bali has become one of the hottest vacation destinations, especially for Australians, Asians, and Americans. What was once a well kept secret and a destination that only a few would consider travelling to, is now considered a ‘hot spot,’ and the Bali government wants to make sure it stays that way so they have actually established a Bali Tourism Promotion Board.

The good news for travelers is that Bali is going to remain a viable vacation destination that’s becoming increasingly more affordable. In fact, holiday villas that were once only affordable by large groups or the wealthy, are now an option for average people, and that’s pretty exciting, because a villa as your accommodations offers so much more than a hotel experience.

Ida Bagus Kade Subhisku is the head of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, and it was at the end of January of this year (2013) that the documents were signed by the governor making the Bali Tourism Promotion Board official. A great deal of time went into establishing this board because it required the creation of a number of mandates, rules, etc. Currently there are nine people who have been named to lead the board.
