Experience an unforgettable half-day adventure with the Elephant Mud Bathing at Bali Zoo package from Gorilla Adventures Bali. This unique package allows you to interact with friendly Sumatran elephants in a fun and educational way. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and enjoy a playful mud bath with these gentle giants, while also learning about their behavior, lifestyle, and why they love mud so much.
This half-day package is designed for those who want to do more than just observe elephants from a distance. You’ll get up close and personal, learning from experienced mahout handlers about how elephants use mud to keep cool and protect their skin from the sun. Despite their thick hides, elephants can get sunburned, and mud plays an essential role in their care. This experience is both educational and enjoyable, offering a deeper connection to these magnificent animals.
As you bathe and play with the elephants, you’ll have the opportunity to take incredible photos and create lasting memories. The package is suitable for individuals, couples, or families with children meeting the height requirement. However, parents should be aware that children under 120 cm are not allowed in the mud bath area for safety reasons.
With Gorilla Adventures Bali, you can expect a seamless experience from start to finish. From private hotel pickup to the engaging mud bath activity, every detail is designed to make your visit to Bali Zoo a memorable one. Enjoy a unique morning with the elephants and learn about their world in a fun and interactive setting.
