TAMAN SAFARI PRIGEN




Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. On today's post I'm going to tell you a place recommendation to visit during corona. Of course in Corona season it must be really terrifying for us. Especially when we're going outside. But don't lie, I know most of us miss holiday but don't want to get corona. In this post, I will show you a recommended place to go during corona which is Taman Safari Prigen.

Taman safari itself is a animal theme park. Its located in 3 locations in Indonesia, which is Cisarua, Prigen and Bali. Each of them has the name 'Taman Safari I,II,III'. Because the most nearest to my hometown is on the Prigen one. We decided to visit Taman Safari II on Prigen, East Java. If you didn't know, Prigen is a district is Pasuruan, East Java. To get there, we use highway through Surabaya and Malang. We could easily drive through Malang, but my dad doesn't like the road. 

First, we stopped at Sidoarjo's rest area. We bought Starbucks and took a rest there. The place was so aesthetic. I even took some photos there. Not so long, we continued our journey.



After 2 hours, we arrived at Prigen. Because we were hungry, we decided to took a lunch at Baobab hotel. The place was so clean and hygienic. We took a lunch for a moment and continue or journey to Taman Safari.



In 10 minuted, we arrived at Taman Safari. 

Fun fact : Hotel Baobab and Taman safari is next to each other. So that's why some tourist spend their holiday sleeping at hotel baobab and continuing to Taman Safari.

We bought the entrance tickets. If you want informations about the tickets and shows you can click here

We also bought carrots to feed the animals. If you didn't know the Taman Safari concepts, it is basically you drove along the route to see the animals. You must use a car because if you don't it would be very dangerous especially for the carnivore. But, if you don't have a car, there is an option. You could rent a bus there. 



We drove along the way, feed the animals and obtain them. It was really fun. 

We finally came to the end of our route. The end of the animals route is the amusement park. Basically there is so many rides and attractions. But because its covid, most of them were closed. 

My mom wanted to feed the carnivore so badly. So we decided to join to the 'feeding carnivore' activities. If you didn't know what 'feeding carnivore' is, its a activities where we were put in a cage in a truck and we will feed the carnivores. We were so scared at first, but turns out it wasn't as scary as we expected. We feed 2 types of carnivores. The first one is bears. To be honest, the bear one wasn't that scary. But then there's lion. The lion was so aggressive. One of them even jump above our cage. But it was so fun, it feels like feeding giant cats. We feed them using tweezers so our hands don't touch their mouth. 




After we finished feeding the carnivores, we decided to watch the bird's show since it was the only show left. The show was amazing. All of the birds were well trained, all of the audience were so amazed. 



After watching the bird show, we decided to go home. But before we go home, we wanted to go to Cimory Restaurant first since it was located in Prigen too. 

The route was so rocky, I was so dizzy during the trip. But 20 minuted later, we arrived. The place was so huge. There was a museum, a cafe, and a souvenir shop. The views from the restaurant was so amazing. I even took a photos of it. The menus were so variative, I promise you will be interested. We ordered fried rice, ice cream, steaks and many more.




After we finished eating, we went to the souvenirs shop. The souvenirs shop itself sell cimory's product, local snacks and many more. We bought so many stuffs and souvenirs.

After a long day, we finally went home to Kediri.

Funfact : This is our only holiday during covid. 


Why do I recommend visiting Taman Safari during corona ?

1. It have less interaction with others especially on the driving sections. 

All you just do is stay in the car. Which means you don't need to interact with other people  Its a lot more safer.


2. Its not that crowded. 

Taman Safari is so huge. Its around 168 hectare. So the chance to swarm is so small. When I went here, it doesn't look crowded at all. 


That's all for my post today, I hope it will helps. Thank you and don't forget to subcribe!
