Kampung Gajah
The elephant village
Kampung Gajah brings the park’s elephant spaces together in a setting that feels quieter and more intimate than the broad safari landscapes. Visitors can watch the animals move, feed, play and interact with their carers. The close views make it easier to notice individual behaviour and the social life of the herd, rather than seeing the elephants only as part of a staged presentation.
The elephant museum and educational programmes add context to the experience. They explore the animals’ place in Indonesia, their long relationship with people and the challenges surrounding their protection. Bathing sessions provide one of the area’s liveliest scenes, while tropical planting and Balinese architectural details keep the setting rooted in the island.
