Pada hari rabu, 19 september 2012 saya beserta rombongan grup setrasari dimana saya bekerja diberi kesempatan untuk pergi berlibur ke Taman safari Bogor.
Saya benar-benar tidak menyangka bahwa di Indonesia ada tempat hiburan yang cukup menarik walaupun sekedar kebun binatang.
Pagi-pagi sekali sekitar pukul 05.00 saya pergi ke kantor untuk bertemu dengan karyawan lainnya dan bersama-sama menaiki 1 buah bus yang telah di siapkan sebelumnya.
Kepergian ini saya beserta 2 orang teman staff lainnya yaitu Willy dan Jimi. Oleh karena saya masih ngantuk sekali, begitu naik dan duduk
di bus saya langsung tidur hingga tak terasa tiba Pk. 11.00 tepat di depan pintu masuk Taman Safari.
Hal pertama yang ditampilkan dalam taman hiburan disini adalah kita bisa melihat secara langsung binatang yang dibiarkan secara bebas berkeliaran seperti selayak habitat aslinya.
Kami didalam bis terpana melihat kelucuan binatang-binatang ini.
Sekitar setengah jam setelah kami berkeliling menggunakan bus, kami langsung turun dan segera menikmati pertunjukan sandiwara gajah. Hal ini cukup menarik melihat kelucuan tingkah hewan terbesar di dunia ini. Kami pun tak lupa mengabadikan foto bersama gajah tersebut.

Setelah itu kami segera menuju taman burung, disini banyak sekali burung-burung yang bisa kita lihat secara langsung dengan sangat jelas namun tetap secara alamiah.
Untuk ketiap pertunjukan kami bisa menggunakan sebuah kereta secara gratis.

Taman Safari I with about 170 hectares (420 acres) has around 2,500 animals, the majority of which are Indonesian, including Bengal tigers, Giraffe, Malayan Sun Bear, Orangutan, Hippo, zebra, cheetah, elephants, and komodos. There are also many conserved faunas here, including the Bali Starling, a small white Mynah bird. The safari is a drive through and it is possible to be extremely close to all the animals. The animals can literally stick their heads in your vehicle if you do not keep your windows closed as advised. Most of the herbivores can be fed vegetables from your vehicle though this is not condoned by the park and may result in scratches and dents from large animals like bulls and Blackbuck crowding your vehicle. Six wildlife shows are on property including a Wild West Show, Dolphin Show, and Elephant Show. Also, inside the amusement park section of Taman Safari are a few small rides and exhibits that include Humboldt Penguins, bats, nocturnal animals from Indonesia and India,wallaby, crocodiles, and kangaroos. Camping and bungalows are available for guests who would like to pay to stay in the park overnight.
The zoo features a small petting zoo which is themed to look like the Taj Mahal. The petting zoo also includes photo areas where for a small fee guests can take pictures with various animals such as baby lions, tigers, and leopards.
Taman Safari's map that a guest receives at the front gate says "National Tourism Site Indonesian Center for Reproduction of Endangered Wildlife." This seems to be true as occasionally the animals can be seen mating by guests.
