Baluran National Park

🌿 Java’s Hidden Safari Wonderland

🌍A Unique Ecosystem of Land and Sea

At the heart of Baluran lies its iconic savannah, a vast sea of grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see. Here, wildlife roams freely, and the landscape changes dramatically with the seasons, from lush green during the wet season to golden hues during the dry months. The park is home to an astonishing variety of ecosystems, from tropical forests and wetlands to mangrove swamps and coral reefs along the coast.

This diverse range of habitats supports an impressive array of flora and fauna. As you explore, you may spot majestic wild buffalo, graceful deer, playful monkeys, and the rare Javanese bull. The park also offers exceptional birdwatching opportunities, with over 150 species of birds, including the striking Bali mynah, which is critically endangered. Baluran truly is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise, where every corner holds a new discovery.

🦁A Safari Adventure Like No Other

Imagine yourself in the midst of a thrilling safari-style adventure, where you can travel across the expansive savannah in a 4×4 jeep, getting up close to wild animals in their natural habitat. The park’s open plains offer the perfect opportunity to observe animals in their daily routines — from herds of wild deer grazing in the tall grasses to the occasional sighting of leopards or jackals.

As you journey deeper into the park, you’ll encounter dense forests that are home to a wide variety of flora, including towering kapok trees and balsa wood, as well as diverse plant species. These forests provide shelter for various primates, including the cheeky long-tailed macaques, adding a touch of playful charm to your safari experience.
