Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful time we had at the safari park. After a few emails between you and I we decided to book online for the rafting/night safari/show and dinner on 15th December. The rafting was a lot of fun, the guides were very friendly and informative. When we arrived at the safari park it was like a dream come true. The park is so amazing, we have been to many parks in Thailand and everything there is really dry. We were very impressed with how green everything was and how beautiful the gardens were. The elephants all looked happy and relaxed.
There were only about 10 people at the park that evening so it felt really special. First we hand fed the adult elephants and then we went to see the babies. I was so excited about meeting 'Riski' after watching the video of her birth on You Tube. She was amazing and so friendly, as you can see by the photos I have attached we had some special times together, she was so excited she actually climbed out of the enclosure. Then we watched the elephant show which was very entertaining, my only disappointment was that the elephants did not do any painting, as I would have liked to purchase one that I saw being painted. This was followed by the night safari around the park, we rode on 'Rama' the elephant with one tusk, his mahout was very friendly and gave us information about the park and the elephants. Dinner was sensational, the 'Palm Grove' dining area is such a romantic setting. Unfortunately during dinner it started to rain and we have to move to the dining area overlooking the lake, this was done very smoothly by the waiting staff. The quality of the food was unexpected, it rivals some of the top restaurants in Sydney! Please pass on our thanks to all the staff for giving us a wonderful experience, we will be coming back to the safari park on our next visit to Bali and this time we will stay at the lodge. Kind Regards, Chris and Kevin Nutsford, Sydney Australia.

Hi Nigel & team, I am writing, although a little late, to thank you so much for having me ( Christine ), my daughter ( Janine ) and good friend ( Lynn ) at your Park. We had an absolutely amazing time and experience that I just still cannot put into words. You should be so proud of what you and your wife have accomplished as well as your amazing staff . If I have not told over 100 people about your park I would be lying. When I arrived at the park we were welcomed with a young Balinese girl saying "Welcome to your Home", you could not imagine how that made me feel as I so unwell when I arrived, ( a condition that I have). The staff that looked after us were the nicest people I have ever meet in bali. I felt very honoured that you had time to sit with us for tea as that showed us what type of person you really are. Friends of mine are heading to Bali in August and I have passed on your web site details, they will contact you when they arrive as I have told them you offer pick up service in your packages as I would hate them to be taken to the wrong one like I was before. I will DEFINITELY be back, most likely in November. Once again, thank you so much for having us, please tell all your staff they are amazing. The DVD and book are great. WELL DONE! Regards Christine PS: Am keeping a close eye out for the arrival of the baby! Did you tell me late Feb early March?

We recently visited the park on 27/12/08. Mr Mason was kind enough to say hello whilst showing some people around from the Budapest Zoo. We purchased 'operation jumbo' and have just watched it. This is the reason for the email - what an inspiration to anyone with a love of animals. Some people are put on this earth to do great things - nigel and yannie are two such people. The park was our favourite day whilst in bali and we will continue to visit each time we go there. We hope the breeding plan is a success. To all concerned - keep up this wonderful work. |
