Frommer's Review
The Elephant Safari Park, run by Bali Adventure Tours, is less safari and more elephant ride, and it's a real hoot. These native Sumatra elephants are well cared for and live in large, lush enclosures. The owners have worked carefully with locals from Taro Village, previously one of Bali's most remote and untouched villages, to make sure they leave littleReservations recommended more than elephant tracks. A safari starts with Pachyderm 101, as knowledgeable guides tell about the animals' care and feeding, local ecology, threats to the native population, and preservation efforts. Then, along with a mahout (guide), you'll have a galumphing trip through the jungle. Don't miss the antics of the youngest pachyderm; he's just taken up the game of soccer and can usually be found pouncing on an oversize ball in the central pond. A fun elephant show is staged twice daily at 12:30 and 3:30pm. The price is a bit dear, but they take good care of you here, with a tasty lunch buffet and attentive service.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
